The little athlete.
Little athletes suffer a variety of injuries, either from accidents or overuse. Overuse injuries are related especially to pain syndromes in the legs, such as apophysitis and tendinitis. Areas of rapid growth are vulnerable to injury. It is important that 'little athletes' perform within limits set by their age and their body development and that they enjoy their sporting activities.

Running is a simple and convenient form of exercise but is associated with a high risk of injury to the lower limbs and feet. Attention to the training programme, the footwear and anatomy will assist the management and prevention of many injuries. Overtraining is a special problem and the physician should be alert for its physical markers.
