The goal is to investigate the correlation between early sports specialization (ESS) and injury rates in high school and college-aged youth. Additionally, the study aims to explore the effects of foundational workouts on reducing injuries resulting from ESS. The relevance of this research lies in the increasing rates of sports injuries, especially overuse injuries, and the potential role of ESS in contributing to this trend. The research design involves a multifaceted approach, including correlational research, content analysis, and descriptive research, with data collection methods such as surveys, interviews, and historical research. Overall, this research aims to contribute to the field of sports medicine by addressing gaps in knowledge regarding the effects of ESS and proposing potential remedies to reduce sports-related injuries.
