Investigation of Gymnastics Injury Risk Analysis through Observational Retrospective approach on Professional Athletes

Abstract

Gymnastics requires remarkable strength and flexibility but comes with numerous risks of injury. This observational study looks back at the risks of injuries in professional gymnastics, a sport that requires a lot of strength and flexibility but also has a high risk of injury. Injury data is painstakingly examined by researchers who, using a large sample size and time series, look at things like training intensity, skill difficulty, equipment usage, along demographics. During the survey conducted of 500 athletes, a significant correlation was found between musculoskeletal pain and the duration of sports practice: wrist circumference (0.022444), upper arm circumference (0.038698), hips circumference (0.014102), ankle flexion (0.040317). A different standard deviation exists among wrist circumference (17.467602), BMI (19.985617), and hip circumference (65.702325). The likelihood of experiencing pain is also associated with the amount of time spent sitting. Wrist and right shoulder circumference had a statistically significant association with the age of the athletes. These results call for further research into methods to avoid injuries and highlight the complexity of athlete care. Because people's daily routines have a significant impact on the frequency of injuries, researchers should focus their efforts in the future on creating individualized training programs that reduce the likelihood of injuries, keep athletes engaged, and encourage the health advantages of gymnastics from a young age.
