  • Title: Profiling children for sports participation.
    Author: Goldberg B, Boiardo R.
    Journal: Clin Sports Med; 1984 Jan; 3(1):153-69. PubMed ID: 6400331.
    Abstract:
    A profile of a child prior to participation in sports should be directed toward the specific demands of the sport. Medical, orthopedic, and fitness factors should be carefully evaluated so that intervention can be developed that will reduce the possible adverse effects of participation and, secondarily, improve performance. A child should not be excluded from sports unless specific risk-to-benefit ratios are firmly established.
