Tennis injuries and child health?

Why are so many tennis players getting injured these days?

- is the game more strenuous than it used to be or is it to do with children not getting enough exercise when young and so not being able to get properly fit as adults?Tennis injuries and child health?Professional tennis players are groomed from a very young age. So, they start off getting plenty of excercise. The problem is the primary age for tennis players continues to get younger and younger. And young bodies are really not meant to go through that much strain while they are still developing. It's one thing to make sure your child is getting plenty of excercise. It's another thing to push your child to the point of them pulling and snapping their still growing tendons and ligaments.Tennis injuries and child health?you know for a fact based on statistics that tennis players are getting injured more often these days? What are you basing this on?



Well this is life hun, you can't just make a statement and not be able to support it. You didn't ask if they are getting injured, you said that they "are" getting injured more often. And your reasoning for more injuries sounds pretty ridiculous btw.



and does this look like the TENNIS section to you?? It's the parenting section, you'll get better responses if you go to the tennis section.Tennis injuries and child health?The game is definitely more strenuous than it used to be. Look at the bodies of the Williams sisters in comparison to someone like Billy Jean King. King was a world class player to be sure, but she definitely was not built like Venus or Serena.

And, as the lady above mentioned, child athletes are getting younger and younger and their bodies are easily and often overtrained.Tennis injuries and child health?
I think chidlren do get exercise still: They have mandatory PE at school, all schools have lunch time and after school sports clubs, they do dance and movement in preschools and part of curriculum in main schools.



Theres loads of martial arts, football clubs etc...and lesiure centres are popping up everywhere!



It's just whether the children get taken there I suppose!



As for sports: I think sometimes its worry-if a football player gets injured they need to get it sorted ASAP else it gets worse and they loose out on money or cant play! They take a lot more care of their bodies I think-I mean they even insure body parts!!!! Some for tennis I think!
