Abstract

Ever greater numbers of children are participating in running sports at earlier ages. These children will encounter many of the same problems seen in adults, but will also have many unique concerns. This article was written to provide information to primary health care providers on the differences in risks, injuries, treatments, and general health concerns of the pediatric running population.
