Controversies in Pediatric Sports Medicine
Abstract:
In brief: Primary care physicians often need to advise pediatric patients and their parents on medical issues in children's sports, but for many areas of sports medicine, data are inconclusive, recent, or nonexistent. For instance, infant exercise programs seem to be increasing in popularity with parents, but the passive exercises have little or no effect on an infant's development.
