Player-to-player contact in competition behind almost 60% of cases, study finds

MONDAY, Jan. 26 (HealthDay News) -- Male high school athletes in the United States are more likely than girls to suffer shoulder injuries.

The researchers looked at football, soccer, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, baseball and softball.
