    Author: Larkins P.
    Journal: Aust Fam Physician; 1983 May; 12(5):359-63. PubMed ID: 6615359.
    Abstract:
    Sport and physical activity are highly desirable components of normal development in children. They contribute towards health, fitness, achievement and the discipline required to learn and associate with peers. It is important to provide adequate supervision and skills coaching in order to avoid injuries and foster ongoing interest in exercise programmes. The child athlete is susceptible to several unique injuries due to the normal growth process and the practitioner needs to be aware of these and familiar with the diagnosis and management of such conditions in order to protect the wellbeing and development of his child athlete patients.
