"It’s hard to reduce kids’ injury rate to zero," says Dr. Johnny Benjamin, chairman of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Indian River Medical Center in Vero Beach, Florida. "However, it’s important to encourage them to get out there and move." Injuries from high-impact sports such as football and soccer are on the rise, according to Dr. Benjamin, who says, "Head injuries are so common, especially with more and more young women playing soccer." Keep kids healthy and on the move with a collection of fun, safe physical activities.
