Control of Joint Injuries in Aerobic Gymnasts

Abstract

Introduction Joint injuries are a common problem in aerobic gymnastic athletes due to the particularities of this sport. Therefore, the method of controlling and preventing joint injuries in athletes has become an important focus of current research. Objective Study a post-training prevention protocol for joint injuries in aerobic gymnasts. Methods The experiment lasted 8 weeks, in which 10 athletes from the control group performed a traditional stretching recovery protocol. In contrast, the experimental group performed rehabilitation training through previously defined suspension training. The stability and flexibility of the athletes’ lumbar and ankle joints were recorded and compared before and after the beginning of the experimental training. Results The suspension training proposed in this paper can optimize the static balance parameters of the athletes’ joints, improving stability and promoting joint injury control. Conclusion The scheme proposed in this paper may help athletes to control joint injuries, improve dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system, reduce interference from sports injuries, and help them to perform better in the field. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigating treatment outcomes.
