Frequency of Physical Activity-Related Injuries Among Adolescents: An Umbrella Review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this umbrella review was to investigate the frequency of physical activity-related injuries (PARI) among adolescents. Our secondary objective was to describe the available reviews of injuries in three settings: organized sports, leisure time physical activity (PA), and school physical education (PE).
