“…Two studies included artistic gymnasts [21,22], 2 studies included rhythmic gymnasts [23,24], 11 studies simply used the term "gymnasts" [1,2,4,9,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. With regard to the level of gymnasts, 6 studies included gymnasts classified as national team level [9,21,22,[29][30][31], 2 studies involved gymnasts from clubs affiliated with a national federation [1,23], 1 study involved gymnasts from a precompetitive level [25], 3 studies used competitive-level gymnasts [4,26,28], 2 studies used a mixed group of gymnasts [2,27] and 1 study included gymnasts attending a course and the level was unclear [24].…”

“…Finally, high-level injured gymnasts who scored lower on a combination of balance, speed and arm flexibility/strength variables had higher injury rates (P = 0.0495) in the stepwise regression model. Miller et al [22] reported that injured limbs had a smaller range of weight-bearing ankle dorsiflexion with greater variability compared to uninjured (44.8° ± 6.1°, 95% confidence interval (CI) 43.0°-46.5° for injured and 45.4° ± 6.1°, 95% CI 43.9°-46.9° for uninjured) in 55 national-level artistic gymnasts. Wright and De Crée [29] reported that in 15 gymnasts the lower injury group scored lower on ankle dorsiflexion (62.3 cm ± 8.0 vs. 75.9 cm ± 10.3, P = 0.013) and back extension in the bridge (22.6 cm ± 1.9 vs. 25.5 cm ± 4.9, P = 0.013) which they stated as better performances when compared with the high injury group.…”

Screening Tools as a Predictor of Injury in Gymnastics: Systematic Literature Review

Background Gymnastics requires a high level of physical ability and technical skill which utilises short sets of athleticism and artistry to perform complex and intense movements which can overload musculoskeletal tissues and result in acute injuries which can develop into chronic injuries. The aim of this systematic literature review was to investigate which screening tools predict injury in gymnasts and encompasses all genres, levels and ages. Methods An electronic search of seven databases from their inception until March 2021 was conducted. The databases were the Allied and Complementary Medicine Database, CINAHL, eBook Collection (EBSCOhost), MEDLINE, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, SPORTDiscus and PEDro (the Physiotherapy Evidence Base). A combination of the following search terms was used: (1) Gymnastics AND injury AND Screening, (2) Screening AND Gymnastics and (3) Musculoskeletal AND Screening AND Gymnastics. These terms were searched in all text, abstract, title and subject terms. Studies were assessed using a 20-point scoring tool. Results The mean methodological quality score was 13.1 points (range 10–17 points). Range of motion, anthropometric and postural measurements, hypermobility, clinical diagnostic tests, movement screening tools, muscle strength, power and endurance were reported in the included studies. Some evidence existed for screening measurement of height and mass as taller and heavier gymnasts might be more susceptible to injury; however, the different methodologies utilised and lack of acknowledgment of confounding variables limit the clinical relevance of these findings. Conclusions Height and mass should be recorded during the screening process. A lack of heterogeneity in study methodology prevented a meta-analysis. Studies were limited by a lack of prospective injury design, poor injury definition, self-reporting of injury and only 2 studies reported reliability of screening tools. Further research is required to determine the role of injury screening in gymnastics. Registration: The review protocol was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) with the registration number CRD42020218339.
