Children and adolescents 'account for half of sports A&E attendances' Children and adolescents account for nearly half of A&E attendances for sporting injuries, research suggests.
An analysis of A&E data at two hospitals between 2012 and 2014 found 47% of attendances for sport-related injuries were made by under-19s.
Football, rugby union and rugby league were linked to the most injuries in boys. For girls, it was trampolining, netball and horse-riding.
Fourteen-year-old boys and 12-year-old girls were most likely to be injured. BBC News
