injuries including fractures, sprains, and strains. Although most people may argue that
adolescents and teens experience the healthiest time of their body, the truth is that during
adolescence, the body undergoes a lot of physical changes as a transition to adulthood is being
initiated. These physical body changes increase the vulnerability of sustaining injuries. The onset
of adolescence comes with a fast growth of bones which regularly lengthen too fast leaving the
surrounding tendons and muscles to struggle in developing at the same rate/speed. The inflexible
tight muscles intensify the pulling force on cartilage layers and growth plates, near the bone ends
which toughen when the teenager fully matures (Balagué et al., 2012). Musculoskeletal
