Pediatric Gymnastics Related Injuries A Concern

Don't move. Stay right where you are.
"More than 600,000 children participate in school-sponsored and club-level gymnastics competitions annually in the United States. Yet gymnastics continues to be overlooked in terms of potential for injury, while having one of the highest injury rates of all girls' sports.

A study, conducted by researchers in the Center for Injury Research and Policy (CIRP) at The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital and published in the April electronic issue of Pediatrics, examined data on children 6 to 17 years of age who were treated in hospital emergency departments for gymnastics-related injuries between 1990 and 2005. According to the findings, on average nearly 27,000 injuries are reported each year nearly 426,000 injuries during the 16-year period."
From a weight control standpoint, it seems as if they advocate that controlling Calories in is safer than controlling Calories out.

True, if you want to avoid injury.

It is clear that until life can be made risk-free, it is safer to not be born.

But who can be so lucky?

In the unlucky event that you have been born, it appears safer not to engage in life.
