It has been estimated that one-third of all children between 6 and 14 years old are involved in some type of organized sports activity. These facts and figures serve to demonstrate that many children seen by the nurse practitioner will be participating in sports. This article describes important issues in counseling and educating parents, children, schools and coaches; screening examinations for participation; common injuries to the young athlete and treatment of injuries. By intervening in these aspects of sports participation, nurse practitioners may be able to protect young patients both psychologically and physically from the hazards of inappropriate athletic programs.
据估计，6至14岁的儿童中有三分之一参与某种类型的有组织体育活动。这些事实和数据表明，执业护士所诊治的许多儿童都将参与体育运动。本文描述了在为家长、儿童、学校和教练提供咨询及教育时的重要问题；参与体育运动的筛查检查；年轻运动员的常见伤病以及伤病的治疗。通过干预体育参与的这些方面，执业护士或许能够在心理和身体上保护年轻患者免受不适当体育项目带来的危害。
