Abstract

Injuries are some of the most universal and blatant downfalls of participation in adolescent sports, and statistics clearly support the need for improved awareness of injury prevention. Teenagers at risk of athletic injury must be identified through increased nurse practitioner knowledge of common adolescent injury (traumatic and overuse), injuries most prevalent in specific sports, training principles, and sports psychology. The role of other support personnel is also investigated. This article is the second of a three-part series addressing the nurse practitioner's role in health maintenance of the adolescent athlete.
