The epidemiology of sports injuries in children and youth is an important area of research that has been largely overlooked in the medical and sport science literature. This article presents an overview of the analytic aspects of pediatric sports injury epidemiology, focusing on injury risk factors and preventive measures. The review indicates that few modifiable injury risk factors have been statistically evaluated, and not many studies have been designed to determine the effect of injury prevention measures in pediatric sports. However, initial results are promising. Specific directions for further analytic research are presented.
儿童和青少年运动损伤的流行病学是医学和运动科学文献中很大程度上被忽视的一个重要研究领域。本文概述了儿童运动损伤流行病学的分析方面，重点关注损伤风险因素和预防措施。综述表明，很少有可改变的损伤风险因素经过统计学评估，而且设计用于确定预防措施在儿童运动中效果的研究也不多。然而，初步结果很有前景。本文还提出了进一步分析研究的具体方向。
