ABSTRACT
In brief We surveyed 100 young female gymnasts about injuries that occurred over a 40-month period. Though the injury rates were similar to those found in other studies of injuries among competitive female gymnasts, we observed several notable findings regarding injury patterns. Based on our results, we suggest several prevention methods that may reduce injury, such as modifying mat design and prescribing strengthening and stretching exercises.
