In this paper we examine the nature of a gymnastic maneu ver, the forward flip, and describe how a planar biped run ning machine executes it. To perform a flip the machine runs forward, thrusts with both legs to jump while pitching the body forward, shortens the legs to tuck once airborne, untucks in time to land on the feet, and then continues running.

In the past 15 to 20 years gymnastics has become very popular. The increased participation exposes a greater number of athletes to potential injury. The risk of gymnastic injuries seems to be proportional to the level of the athletes; the higher the level of gymnastics, the more hours are spent in practice, with a greater exposure time.

The gymnast often places unphysiologic extreme stresses upon her body during the maneuvers characteristic of that sport. These may result in stress fractures to the skeleton, the lumbar spine being at greatest risk. Minor malalignments of the extremities can encourage injury.

In summary, we came to the conclusion that gymnastics as performed at the club level has an injury rate that is compatible with other athletic endeavors and follows logical expectations. As these data are augmented in the future, and further refined and analyzed, we hope to be able to offer meaningful suggestions for avoiding injuries.

Gymnastics training develops strength, flexibility, concentration, balance, grace, and speed in young athletes. In terms of hours per week and intensity of practice, the dedication to training at a young age, is unparalleled in most other youth sports.

In brief: There is relatively little information about injuries to club gymnasts. Therefore, the author conducted a statistical prospective study of the epidemiology of this group, following 873 club-level gymnasts for a nine-month season to establish injury incidence and related trends.
