Injuries in Club Gymnastics

Pages 63-66 | Published online: 11 Jul 2016
 

Abstract

In brief: There is relatively little information about injuries to club gymnasts. Therefore, the author conducted a statistical prospective study of the epidemiology of this group, following 873 club-level gymnasts for a nine-month season to establish injury incidence and related trends. Although the number of subjects was too small for statistical validity, many trends were identified. It seems that club gymnastics does not have an excessively high injury rate and that further data should make it possible to decrease the number of injuries.
