Children differ physically, physiologically, emotionally, cognitively, and socially from adults. This article sheds light on the limited amount of studies regarding medical concerns for children in sports. However, it is clear that training programs should be adjusted and careful monitoring is required. Similar to adults, children need to recover physically, nutritionally, and emotionally after exercise.
