More kids play a popular sport like basketball, for example, than skateboard.
Though kids can be injured playing any sport, some sports do have a higher injury rate than others. These cause stress fractures, muscle tears, or progressive bone deformities. Acute injuries , which occur as a result of trauma from contact with a major force, cause fractures, dislocations, and more serious spinal and brain injuries. Prior to puberty, the risk of sports-related injury between boys and girls is the same. At puberty, boys gain in both strength and size and are injured more often and more seriously than girls.
