How parents and coaches can influence violence in youth sports @KIN110UofR http://t.co/ftAUl0cHYk #violenceinsport

[Leah Shevkenek @LShevkenek]

@danikaKIN110 I agree! Do you think youth in football should wear full equipment or learn how to properly tackle first? #kin110lab9

[Leah Shevkenek @LShevkenek]

@Macceroni17 what sport do you think is the worst for injury in youth? #KIN110lab9

[Leah Shevkenek @LShevkenek]

@nathanlegg13 Good point! Parents have to take chances with their kids in anything they do and that is not the definition of child abuse.

[Leah Shevkenek @LShevkenek]

It should not be considered child abuse at all. There is risk in absolutely any sport a parent enrolls their child in. #kin110lab9

Great presentation yesterday from @JoeEhrmann76 #ManUp @KIN110UofR

[Leah Shevkenek @LShevkenek]

@_DaniBennett that's really interesting, why do you think that is? #kin110lab6

[Jessie Doan @jessiedoan2]

Female athletes undergo genetic testing to determine if they are eligible to play, men don't? #Kin110Lab6 http://t.co/Hq6vJwC24q

@Moura_k96 Basketball is very popular in most communities, so there are more teams and even rec leagues available for women to take part in.

[Leah Shevkenek @LShevkenek]

@CailinExtrand Thats really interesting. Why do you think there is such a low percentage for women coaching men's teams?

[Leah Shevkenek @LShevkenek]

@Moura_k96 For total equality to happen would take some time, but certain sports like basketball would be sooner due to more opportunities.

[Leah Shevkenek @LShevkenek]

@KristineCward I believe there was an increase because there was more opportunities for girls of these ages.

[Leah Shevkenek @LShevkenek]

Statistics show from 1987 to 1999, the number of girls aged 6 and over playing basketball increased by 15% in America. #KIN110Lab6

@KIN110UofR This is a great article that shows the effect that social media has on our health/fitness http://t.co/oKxT7T6lgm #mediafitness

[Leah Shevkenek @LShevkenek]

Interesting article on the variety of body images of successful athletes. http://t.co/R5vJMwHvsa @KIN110UofR #athletebodyimage

[Leah Shevkenek @LShevkenek]

@MckenGrey @KIN110UofR I believe the athletes should be restricted because they are representing a team, organisation, even a whole city.

[Leah Shevkenek @LShevkenek]

@brittfisher3 @KIN110UofR same reason track and field athletes wear short and tight clothing, much easier to play in and more comfortable
