Cantu, Robert C.; Mueller, Frederick O.

Physician and Sportsmedicine, v27 n8 p35-38,41-42,47-48 Aug 1999

Data from the National Center for Sports Injury show that changes in rules and equipment have made interscholastic sports safer in recent decades, but the record for 1982-1997 shows that there is still room for improvement. The paper presents sport-specific considerations and examines several general safety recommendations that should be followed. (SM)
