A committee on sports medicine and fitness who knows firsthand these ill effects caused by such a schedule at The American Academy of Pediatric’s created an article titled, “Intense Training and Sports Specialization in Young Athletes.” It discusses many topics pertaining to children participating in sports training environments, a few of which include muscle, sexual, and social development as well as cardiac benefits. A coinciding factor across all these topics in the article point to the fact they agree if children play in sports, the children will reap great benefits, but only if they do so without specializing themselves to one particular sport until they reach a mature enough point in their life.
