Overuse injuries result from microtrauma due to repetitive loading combined with insufficient tissue recovery time and can result in both immediate and long-term time loss from sports.
Hypothesis: Overuse injury rates and patterns differ across college and high school populations, sport, and sex.
Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study.
Overuse injuries can impose a significant burden on college and high school athletes. Interventions addressing prevention of overuse injury are needed.
