[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]

Partially really. It is helpful to avoid muscle strains, sprains, bone and muscle strengthening but overuse chronic tendinitis (and apophysitis which is similar) is very common and truly comes from doing too much.  The kids should take an off season and or cross train (even if for fun).[/quote]
