INTRODUCTION 


The  Bay  State  Youth  Sports  Guide  is  a  comprehensive  directory  of  existing 
resources  on  adolescent  sports  injury  prevention.   This  guide  will  be  valuable 
primarily  to  high  school  principals,  athletic  directors,  coaches,  athletic 
trainers,  school  nurses  and  physicians,  emergency  medical  technicians,  and 
stunmer  camp  staff.   By  reading  through  the  lists  of  resources,  you  can 
acquaint  yourself  with  agencies  and  programs  that  may  be  very  useful  to  your 
high  school  or  siommer  camp  athletic  progrsim.   In  addition,  the  guide  provides 
information  on  continuing  education  and  staff  training,  how  to  obtain  a  guest 
speaker  or  film,  and  updates  on  the  latest  developments  in  the  field. 


SPORTS  INJURIES;   AN  OVERVIEW 

Why  focus  on  sports  injuries? 

Sports  injuries  are  a  widespread  problem  in  the  United  States.  The  U.S. 
Consumer  Product  Safety  Commission  reports  that  3  to  5  million  sports-related 
Injuries  are  treated  in  emergency  departments  each  year.   Excluding 
bicycle-related  Injuries,  football,  baseball,  and  basketball  are  the  sports 
most  likely  to  cause  injury  among  boys  aged  5  to  14,  while  skating, 
gymnastics,  and  volleyball  are  the  sports  most  likely  to  cause  injury  among 
girls  of  the  same  ages. 

Football  and  rugby  are  perhaps  the  most  studied  and  hazardous  sports. 
The  highest  rates  of  head  and  neck  injury  for  organized  high  school  sports 
occur  among  football  and  rugby  players.   Sixty-six  percent  of  the  cervical 
spine  injuries  among  adolescents  occur  while  playing  football.   In  the  1987 
season,  37%  of  the  one  million  high  school  football  players  missed  a  practice 
or  a  game  due  to  an  injury:  75%  of  the  injured  athletes  missed  seven  days  or 
less;  16%,  two  to  three  weeks;  and  9%  missed  more  than  three  weeks  of  play. 

Similarly,  Massachusetts'  young  athletes  are  also  vulnerable  to  injury. 
According  to  data  collected  by  the  Massachusetts  Statewide  Comprehensive 
Injury  Prevention  Program  from  1979  to  1982,  17%  of  all  injuries  to  children 
0-19  resulted  from  sports  activities.   One  in  27  children  sustained  a  sports 
injury  requiring  hospital  care.   Sports  injuries  are  most  problematic  for 
adolescents:   half  of  all  sports  injuries  occurred  among  10-  to  15-year-olds, 
and  they  were  the  leading  cause  of  injury  among  12-  to  16-year-olds.   The  rate 
of  injury  for  boys  is  twice  that  of  girls. 

One-third  of  these  sports  injuries  were  sprains  and  strains,  one-fifth 
were  contusions,  and  another  fifth  were  fractures.   Head  injuries  eind  sprains 
or  strains  were  disproportionately  high  in  football  and  basketball.  That  is, 
football  represented  18%  of  all  sports  injuries  yet  accovinted  for  26%  of  all 
head  injuries  from  sports.   Similarly,  basketball  contributed  to  17%  of  sports 
injuries  and  25%  of  sprains  and  strains  from  sports  injuries. 

Approximately  160,000  high  school  athletes  participate  in  a  variety  of 
contact  and  non-contact  sports  in  353  Massachusetts  high  schools.   It  is 
estimated  that  each  year  19,600  public  and  private  high  school  athletes  in 
Massachusetts  will  be  admitted  to  a  hospital  or  require  emergency  department 
treatment,  and  another  39,800  will  miss  at  least  seven  days  of  practice  or 
competition  due  to  a  sports  injury. 


Can  sports  Injuries  be  prevented? 

Sports  injuries  can  be  minimized  or  avoided  if  certain  preventive 
strategies  are  incorporated  into  athletic  training  and  recreational  play.   The 
most  important  and  effective  preventive  steps  that  can  be  taken  include: 
thorough  pre-participation  physical  exams,  proper  strength  and  conditioning 
workouts,  use  of  appropriate  safety  equipment,  proper  supervision,  adequate 
hydration  and  rest,  and  sufficient  rehabilitation  after  an  injury. 

A  review  of  the  national  literature  has  shown  that  injuries  occur  for  a 
variety  of  reasons  related  to  a  child's  physical  and  emotional  preparedness  to 
play  and  environmental  factors  affecting  the  conditions  under  which  a  child 
plays.  These  Include: 

-  Poorly  trained  coaches — reportedly  more  than  50%  of  high  school  coaches 
are  inadequately  trained  in  injury  prevention,  recognition,  treatment, 
and  rehabilitation. 

-  Overtraining — Insufficient  rest  and  overtraining  causes  overuse 
injuries,  especially  of  major  joints,  including  the  shoulders,  elbows, 
and  knees. 

-  Playing  hurt — Inadequate  rehabilitation  accounts  for  the  20%  re-injury 
rate  of  organized  sports. 

-  Grouping  teams  by  age — Many  children  play  against  other  children  who 
are  the  same  age  but  twice  their  size. 

-  Improper  equipment — Football  paralysis  decreased  from  34  cases  in  1976 
to  5  cases  in  1984  as  a  result  of  improved  helmets  and  the  ban  on 
head-first  tackles. 

-  Hazardous  playing  fields — Seven  deaths  were  reported  in  1986  due  to  the 
failure  of  goal  posts  and  baseball  backstops.   Potholes,  trash,  glass, 
and  other  debris  on  the  field,  as  well  as  wet  fields,  create  hazards. 

-  Inadequate  physical  exams — Seventeen  deaths  occurred  in  1986  from  chest 
impacts  associated  with  cardiac  arrest  or  arrhythmias.   These 
conditions  should  have  been  identified  in  a  pre-season  exam. 

-  Stress — Highly  stressed  football  players  are  reportedly  five  times  more 
likely  to  be  injured  than  their  less-pressured  teammates. 

-  Slow  and  inadequate  medical  attention. 

How  can  this  guide  help  you? 

By  providing  you  with  easy  access  to  practical  resources  and  information, 
we  hope  to  further  your  goal  of  providing  an  athletic  progreun  that  strongly 
emphasizes  the  prevention  of  injuries.   Parts  II  and  III  of  the  guide  provide 
detailed  and  up-to-date  information  about  state  and  national  organizations 
involved  with  sports  injury  prevention.  Part  II  lists  Massachusetts  agencies 
whose  work  includes  sports  injury  prevention,  academic  training  programs  that 
offer  courses  and  degrees  in  athletic  training,  sports  medicine  facilities  and 
specialists  available  to  provide  training  or  workshops,  and  the  Massachusetts 
laws  governing  high  school  sports.   Part  III  lists  associations,  events,  and 


specialists  from  across  the  coijntry  that  address  sports  injury  prevention. 
Part  IV  lists  reference  sources,  curricula,  audiovisual  materials,  published 
reports,  injury  reporting  systems  around  the  country,  and  other  materials 
devoted  to  sports  injury  prevention. 

Although  this  guide  is  very  comprehensive,  you  may  have  discovered 
additional  resources  or  materials  that  have  been  useful  for  your  athletic 
program.   Please  contact  the  Sports  Injury  Prevention  Task  Force  in  care  of 
the  Massachusetts  Department  of  Public  Health's  Statewide  Comprehensive  Injury 
Prevention  Program,  (617)  727-1246,  so  that  we  may  share  this  information  with 
others. 


MASSACHUSETTS  SPORTS  INJURY  PREVENTION  TASK  FORCE 

The  Sports  Injury  Prevention  Task  Force  is  a  multi-agency  group  convened 
by  the  Massachusetts  Department  of  Public  Health  in  1987  to  provide  leadership 
and  advocacy  in  the  promotion  of  sports  injury  prevention  among  adolescents. 
The  Task  Force  works  to  expand  the  communication  and  dissemination  of 
knowledge  among  groups,  organizations,  and  individuals  working  in  sports 
injury  prevention. 

In  its  first  year,  the  Task  Force  set  two  major  objectives:  to  assess 
the  status  of  the  injury  prevention  aspects  of  scholastic  athletic  programs 
and  to  create  a  directory  of  resources  available  to  those  progrsuns. 

The  Task  Force  achieved  the  first  objective  through  a  survey  mailed  to 
all  Massachusetts  high  school  athletic  directors  in  late  1987.  This  survey 
produced  valuable  information  which  is  being  used  by  the  Task  Force  to  advise 
the  Massachusetts  Department  of  Education,  the  Massachusetts  Department  of 
Public  Health,  and  the  state  legislature  on  policies,  progrzuns  and  issues 
affecting  sports  injury  prevention.   To  receive  the  results  of  this  survey, 
contact  the  Statewide  Comprehensive  Injury  Prevention  Program  (SCIPP)  at  the 
number  listed  below. 

During  the  past  year,  the  Task  Force  has  worked  to  produce  this  document, 
the  Bay  State  Youth  Sports  Guide:   Resources  for  Sports  Injury  Prevention.   We 
believe  that  it  represents  the  first  attempt  at  compiling  information  which 
cuts  across  the  boiindaries  of  specific  organizations  and  associations  to 
provide  a  comprehensive  selection  of  resources. 

Membership  in  the  Task  Force  is  open  to  both  individuals  and 
organizations  committed  to  working  toward  the  reduction  of  injuries  among 
student  athletes.   Task  Force  meetings  are  held  four  times  a  year  and 
designated  subcommittees  meet  as  needed.  Participating  agencies  include: 
Athletic  Trainers  of  Massachusetts;  Childhood  Injury  Prevention  Resource

June  1983  to  promote  the  growth  of  injury  control  efforts  in  Massachusetts. 
IPRL  is  one  component  of  a  multifaceted  approach  to  making  injury  prevention 
an  integral  part  of  state  and  local  public  health  practice.  The  library 
provides  a  comprehensive  resource  for  health  professionals,  educators, 
researchers,  child  care  providers,  and  other  community  and  state  agency 
professionals.   Located  at  the  Massachusetts  Department  of  Public  Health 
(MDPH),  the  library  is  operated,  maintained  and  continually  updated  by  staff 
from  the  Statewide  Comprehensive  Injury  Prevention  Program  (SCIPP).  The 
library  includes  books,  journal  articles,  government  reports,  curricula,  and 
other  print  emd  audiovisual  materials,  all  of  which  are  available  for  loan  and 
reference  use.   (SCIPP  audiovisual  materials  are  only  available  for  loan 
within  Massachusetts.) 

A  sports  section  has  been  set  aside  in  the  resource  library  for  easy 
access  to  sports  injury  information.  The  following  index  lists  the  pamphlets, 
books,  journal  articles,  teaching  modules  and  vinpubllshed  documents  housed  in 
the  sports  injury  section.  The  resources  have  been  categorized  by  subject 
matter:   epidemiology,  eye  injuries,  general,  medical  care,  participation, 
prevention,  regulations  and  guidelines,  safety  and  types  of  injuries. 

Resources  are  listed  once,  alphabetically,  by  author  under  the  topic 
heading  which  best  describes  the  material.
