Funding was provided by the NATA, which makes perfect sense as well as the Med Sports Systems of Iowa City, IA. Pretty interesting to know that someone from a Public Health Department was also involved.
The best way to minimize the risk of injury in theyoung athlete is to provide participation opportunities that areunder the blanket of a well-designed and operational injuryprevention program.
Gives some good information on how this study can help injury prevention throughout other sports and schools with student athletes.
1. Each sport has an inherent risk of injury based on the natureof the game and the activities of the players.2. Injury prevention programs should be in place for practicesessions as well as games.3. The prevention of reinjury through daily injury management isa critical component of an injury prevention program.4. Sex differences in knee surgery patterns are specific to thesport being considered.
We establish 4 important points and we receive the results from the study which gives us our conclusions that we have here.
CONCLUSIONS
Our conclusions are provided under the headline, convenient and easy to find like most of the information on this article.
he higher frequency of injuryduring practices is related to the high number of practicesessions, and, therefore, a large amount of exposure.
Answers my question on why there was more injuries in practice than games, gives a good and thorough explanation.
The exception to this trend is volleyball, wherethe injury rate per 1000 athlete-exposures was 2.3 times higherin practice than in games.
Very interesting to see how in practices the injury rate was higher than in actual games, I wonder why this is.

Some of the last tables we see for this study, I really felt like these were useful and informative. One of the good things is that they are easy to read and not hard to understand like some other tables I have seen.

These tables contain more data gathered from the study and presented as the results, seem to be very applicable.
The largest proportion of injuries in the fracture categorycame from boys' baseball (8.8%),
Didn't expect for baseball to be the largest proportion of injuries in the fracture category, I expected it to be soccer instead. Interesting.
RESULTS
We have a lot of information under the "Results" headline, lots of data was gathered for them to present what their later results were.
aggregate data for the 3 study years.
Data was gathered for 3 years and was used for this study.

METHODS
Headline containing what was needed in order to perform the study and all the factors that were considered for it.
Our purpose was to describe the injury patterns in 10 highschool sports and identify the injury risk as measured by theobserved injury patterns
States the purpose once again for this article, states the study being performed.

References are made with small numbers. Provided at the very last page of article.
cohort observational design
More data is being collect to support our hypothesis.
generally
Introduced to our "qualifier", expresses some doubt on whether the injuries are a result of a single causative variable.
6 million high schoolyouth from approximately 20000 high schools participate
We are seeing more of this quantitative data, numbers are pretty popular in this article.
Key Words:
Headlines throughout the article, this helps navigate the reader through the article making it less hectic.
Results:
Quantitative data is shown and used throughout the article, we see more further along. Confirms our hypothesis.
Objective:
The Objective is one of the first things we see, introduces us to our main topic for this article.
John W. Powell, PhD, ATC*; Kim D. Barber-Foss, MS, ATCt
Two authors. One has their PhD while the other has their Master of Science. Both are Certified Athletic Trainers. Both come from different institutions. Powell studied kinesiology, while Barber-Foss studied biomechanics.
