[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No idea generally, but my 12 year old son was injured through over use.  He practices with his travel team twice a week, his year round futsal team once a week, plus usually 1-2 games a week, and one session per week with his private trainer.  On top of that, he is in a track club at school one day per week.  He developed a stress fracture this year and it has been tough on him.  He hates having to take a break from exercise.[/quote]

Reading this, that is entirely too much.  But I know it is difficult to see that when doing day to day life.

Yes, injury through overuse is very common. It does not have to be a stress fracture. It can be painful chronic tendinitis that is only healed with a long period of rest. [/quote]

Will preventative strength training help avoid that?[/quote]

My kid had an ankle growth plate injury we thought was a sprain (nothing on xray), then overuse, etc. He'd rest, play then it would come back.  Rinse, repeat.  I found a great orthopedist who from touch alone and jump on one foot--immediately identified it as a growth plate fracture (don't show up on xrays).  He put a walking cast on it for 3 weeks.  It came off and it's been 4 years and he has never had a single issue with that ankle again.  The boot didn't work because it would come off at home and he'd run around the house, chase his brother, etc.[/quote]
