Biomechanical research in artistic gymnastics: a review
Sports Biomechanics, 2006Biomechanical research into artistic gymnastics has grown substantially over the years. However, most research is still skill oriented with few tries at generalization. Consequently, our understanding of the principles and bases of the sport, although improved, is still marginal with gaps in knowledge about technique attributes throughout the sport ...

Current Sports Medicine Reports, 2011
Gymnastics continues to be one of the most popular and injury-prone sports in the United States. The National Collegiate Athletic Association cites women's artistic gymnastics as second only to spring football in its rate of injury during practices, and fourth overall when combining competition and practice injury rates. Because of the physical demands

Modelling the parallel bars in Men’s Artistic Gymnastics
Human Movement Science, 2006The modelling of the parallel bars-gymnast system is considered. A 2D frontal plane model for the parallel bars apparatus is developed, enabling technique and injury analysis to be undertaken when combined with an interacting gymnast body model. We also demonstrate how such a gymnast body model may be combined with the parallel bars model by use of a ...

The Origins of Women’s Artistic Gymnastics
2021Chapter 1 explores the origins of women’s artistic gymnastics. Founded on Enlightenment ideas about physical education, various gymnastic traditions emerged throughout Europe in the early nineteenth century, in response to rising nationalism. Friedrich Jahn and Pehr Henrik Ling devised many of the apparatuses still in use today, and as gymnasts began ...

Final height in elite male artistic gymnasts
Journal of Pediatric Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2012Elite male artistic gymnasts (AG) are exposed to high levels of physical and psychological stress during adolescence and experience a significant late maturation in both linear growth and pubertal development. The aim of the present study was to determine the impact of intensive physical training on the adult final height in elite male AG.This study is

Dermatological Marks in Athletes of Artistic and Rhythmic Gymnastics
International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2004The authors present dermatological signs in: a) rhythmic gymnastics athletes, b) male artistic gymnastics athletes, compared to a control group of fitness athletes. Athletes from the artistic gymnastics group were observed twice. The signs they showed on their first examination (20 days previous to the competition) were two circular zones of thickening

Artistic Gymnastics Injuries; Epidemiology, Evaluation, and Treatment
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2019Artistic gymnastics is a physically demanding sport that requires flexibility, agility, and extreme upper and lower body strength. The specific biomechanics of the sport leads to a unique injury profile. Gymnastic skills require intense upper body weight-bearing, placing unusual forces across the upper extremity joints and predisposing them to injury ...
