AB As  our  knowledge  increases  regarding  the  health  benefits  of  exercise,  more  and  more  people  attempt  to  stay  healthy  and  physically  fit  with  sports-related  activities.  As  a  result,  sports  injuries  are  no  longer  confined  to  a  small  group  of  competitive  athletes  but  affect  an  ever-growing  segment  of  the  population.  Improper  training  techniques,  overambitious  routines,  and  the  use  of  faulty  equipment  have  led  to  an  increase  in  sports  injuries  (especially  overuse  injuries)  and  result  in  pain.  In  the  pediatric  population,  children  engage  in  highly  competitive  sports  with  training  schedules  that  put  them  at  increased  risk  for  injury.  Elite  athletes,  under  the  pressure  of  commercial  interests  and  more  widely  applied  knowledge  about  exercise  physiology  and  training  methods,  are  driven  to  greater  extremes  in  order  to  gain  small  but  significant  advantages  over  the  competition.  This  has  led  to  overambitious  workouts  with  inadequate  rest  periods.  Many  athletes  suffer  from  chronic  pain  and  injury  as  a  result.
