In the United States, youth participation in sports continues to increase yearly. This increase in participation, in conjunction with the trend toward early sports specialization and year round training, has led to a similar increase in athletically developed injuries. These injuries vary in nature and acuity, with the type of injury often related to the athlete's age, sport, and level of training. Endurance athletes are at an elevated risk of injury as they frequently push their body to the limit during their arduous training. Pediatric endurance athletes can be particularly vulnerable, especially to overuse injuries, given their unique and ever-changing physiological state. It is important to understand the specific challenges facing not only the physical, but also the emotional well-being of these pediatric endurance athletes to maximize performance while minimizing injury and potential long-term sequelae.
在美国，青少年参与体育运动的人数逐年持续增加。这种参与人数的增加，再加上早期运动专项化和全年训练的趋势，导致运动损伤的数量也出现了类似的增长。这些损伤在性质和严重程度上各不相同，损伤类型通常与运动员的年龄、运动项目和训练水平有关。耐力型运动员受伤的风险更高，因为他们在艰苦训练中经常将身体推向极限。鉴于其独特且不断变化的生理状态，儿童耐力型运动员可能尤其容易受伤，尤其是易患过度使用造成的损伤。了解这些儿童耐力型运动员不仅在身体方面，而且在情绪健康方面面临的具体挑战，对于在将损伤和潜在长期后遗症降至最低的同时最大限度地提高成绩至关重要。
