Abstract des Autors
This retrospective stuy of 42 male and 74 female elite (artistic) gymnasts at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) reviews all the injuries reported between 1982 and 1991 (inclusive). The injuries were categories according to type of injury and their specific anatomical distribution. The study also analyzed the incidence of stress fractures in the gymnasts and the prevalence of spondolysis. Although it is noted from the literature that gymnastics can be a hazardous sport, this study demonstrates an absence of catastrophic injuries and a low number of severe injuries. Verf.-Referat
