Is this the doctor's advice? Being in a cast will keep what needs to be held together, held together. I would let my kid run if they felt up to it. Certainly no playing soccer, but I don't think I'm of the mindset that she can't do cardio exercises unless specifically instructed by the doctor.

So why no soccer? I've seen countless number if kids put bubble wrap around the hard cast and play soccer...including my kid when he was like 9. No issues.

Usually when a kid is playing with a cast it doesn’t go past their elbow, which probably isn’t the case here.

The kid will be out for 6-8 weeks. That’s around thanksgiving. You can’t run or have contact if your elbow is in a cast. Staying in shape is not really an issue for these kids.
