Summary

Although physical exercise is clearly beneficial for health, it has some risks. These risks can be divided into medical problems and trauma problems or injuries. The most serious medical risk is sudden death, which in children and young athletes happens when there is an underlying cardiac problem. Epiphysiolisisand traction fracturesare common acute injuries of children. Whereas apophysitisand stress fracturesare chronic injuries. Prevention is the most important way of avoid risks during physical activity.
