Should adults or teens play sports?

Answer 1

Young teens really shouldn't play sports, because their bones are not yet fully developed. And, braces can really mess you up if you are not careful, as most kids aren't. Ideally, only older teens and young adults should play sports because their bones are the closest to being fully developed. When you are very young, your bones are formed completely, but as you get older, your joints tend to ache and your muscles are no longer as elastic as they used to be. In addition, there may be additional concerns such as osteoarthritis, more difficulty in breathing, and a tendency to bruise more easily. These can be bigger issues for older adults and not for teens. Their younger bodies recover more quickly from injuries, especially minor ones; much faster than older people.
