What the study reports
A prospective study of training load and injury among middle-school-aged athletes, examining specialisation and volume as risk factors.
The PROMACHOS reading
Youth development fails through volume and early specialisation more often than through insufficient intensity. This shapes how PROMACHOS approaches young students.
This work was produced by its authors and published in the journal named above. PROMACHOS did not conduct this research, holds no interest in its findings, and provides this summary for educational use only. Read the source before relying on it.
