Thread from the @MUFC_SMC conferenece on Injury Risk During the Growth Spurt!
Increase Risk of non-contact injuries during the growth spurt (Johnson et al., 2019)
Players with a high growth rate (>7.2 cm/year) are 91% more likely to have an overuse injury!
The athletic skills model gives good infomation on how to manage training during the growth spurt!
Can we adjust training during the growth spurt to mitigate this increased risk?
Players during PHV, had a significantly reduced risk of injury by adapting their training!
There was also a significant reduction in the risk of fast growers (>7.2 cm/yr) by adapting their training program.
