Jewell wants to play on her high school basketball team, and speaks with her parents about this desire. Her parents understand that there are many benefits to participation in organized sports, but they are also rightly concerned that about ____ percent of high school athletes will be injured and will require some form of medical treatment.

Sports injuries usually occur in people who practice sports, these injuries can be Acute and/or chronic. Acute injuries occur while playing sports, and chronic injuries can occur after playing sports for a long time.

Research has revealed that sports injuries are very common in athletes, for example, young high school athletes have a 15% chance of suffering an injury during their sports career. This statistic worries Jewell's parents, they fear she will play on the basketball team and hurt herself, although they understand that there are also benefits to playing a sport during high school.

I hope this information can help you.
