“…These results are in contrast with Nelson and Gordon-Larsen who found that adolescents who performed at least 5 bouts per week of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity were less likely to engage in health-related risk behaviors, and Pate et al who reported that less active adolescents had higher alcohol and marijuana use, cigarette smoking and wore seatbelt less frequently than more active adolescents [3,23]. The present results add to the body of literature that links PA to violent behaviour, alcohol consumption and increased occurrence of injuries [24][25][26][27]44].…”

A considerable amount of literature demonstrates an association between physical activity (PA) and health. However, some studies also suggest an association between PA and health compromising behaviors. The purpose of this study is to determine the behaviors that can have a positive or negative association with PA in a nationally representative sample of adolescents. Based on the Health Behavior in School-aged Children, 5050 Portuguese adolescents attending 6th (30.8%), 8th (31.6%) and 10 th (37.6%) grades (M age=13.98, years, SD=1.85; 52.3% girls) answered a survey concerning a variety of health behaviors and self-perceptions. Results suggested that being more active is positively associated to better nutrition ("eating fruit"), and perceptions of life satisfaction and good health. PA was also associated to violent behavior, injuries and alcohol abuse. It is therefore recommended that practitioners should find ways to promote the several well-documented benefits of PA while monitoring and preventing associated unfavorable outcomes.

“…Sports participation has multiple benefits on children’s psychological, physical and social capabilities (Eime et al, 2013); however, with recent increases in sports participation (Eime et al, 2016), injuries have become an important pediatric public health issue. Population-based studies have reported that yearly between 3% and 8% of children experience sports-related injuries (Bruhmann & Schneider, 2011; Sheu et al, 2016), and recent studies have indicated that sport-related injuries represent one third of all emergency department (ED) visits among school-age children (Harmon et al, 2018) and occur five times more frequently than those caused by injuries from road accidents (Finch et al, 2014). They are also the second most common cause of severe injuries such as traumatic brain or spinal cord in children over 10 years of age (Oliver et al, 2018).…”

The burden of hospitalized sports-related injuries in children: an Australian population-based study, 2005–2013

BackgroundThere is concern about recent increase and severity of sports-related injuries in children. Despite the benefits of sports participation, injuries may carry long-term health consequences. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence, characteristics and types of hospitalized sports-related injuries in children.MethodsPopulation-based study of all acute sports-related injuries requiring hospitalization in children 5 to 15 years of age in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, 2005–2013. Health information was obtained from the NSW Admitted Patient Data Collection, a census of all hospital admissions from public and private hospitals. Children with a recorded ICD10-AM injury code (S00-T79) and sport-related activity code (U50-U70) were included. Prevalence and trend in injuries by age group, sporting code, body region affected and type of injury were assessed.ResultsThere was a total of 20,034 hospitalizations for sports-related injuries (2.7% of all hospitalizations in children aged 5–15 years), involving 21,346 recorded injuries in 19,576 children. The overall population hospitalization period prevalence was 227 per 100,000 children aged 5–15 years in 2005–2013, remaining stable over time (RR 0.99; 95% CI 0.98–1.00). Football codes such as rugby league/union and soccer combined represented nearly two thirds of the total (60%). The most common body regions affected were the forearm (31%) head (15%) and hand injuries (13%). Fractures accounted for 65% of injuries followed by dislocations (10%) and traumatic brain injury (10%). Compared to other age groups, children aged 5–8 years had double the proportion of shoulder (15% vs. 7%) while 13–15 year olds had higher proportion of lower-leg (14% vs. 8%) and knee (6% vs.2%) injuries. One in seven injuries sustained while playing rugby league/union, baseball and hockey were traumatic brain injuries. A total of 444 (2.2%) of children had more than one hospitalization for sports-related injuries.ConclusionOn average, six children were hospitalized every day for sports-related injuries in the last decade with trends remaining stable. The most common sports involved were football codes, one in three injuries involved the forearm and two thirds were fractures. These findings can be used to inform health policy and sporting governing bodies to target preventive interventions and promote safe sports participation in children.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s40621-018-0175-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Poor balance (sway) performance was a consistent predictor of traumatic injuries, in particular, for traumatic ankle injuries. Good motor performance (core stability, vertical jump, and shuttle run) was positively associated with traumatic and overuse injuries and negatively (single leg hop) associated with traumatic injuries, indicating different influences on injury risk. Previous injury was a confounder affecting the effect size and the significance. More studies are needed to consolidate the findings, to clarify the influence of different performance tests on different types of injuries, and to examine the influence of behavior in relation to injury risk.
