There is a lot of equipment out there we use with our young athletes to hopefully reduce the risk of injury. Some is required for a particular sport, although some athletes and families just purchase things on their own to use. But does the protective equipment do what is intended? How about protective equipment and its role in reducing the risk of concussion? Today on the podcast, I’m going to be joined by two experts in the world of pediatric sports medicine research with an interest in injury prevention in youth sports. It’s time for another Research Review episode of the podcast.
