Over the past 15 years, there has been an increase in youth sports participation with a concomitant increase in early year-round training in a single sport. Many factors contribute to the desire of ...parents and coaches to encourage early single sport specialization, including the desire to give the young athlete an edge in competition, pursuit of scholarships, and potential professional status, and the ability to label a young athlete as elite at an early age. Despite these perceived advantages, some data suggest that early sport specialization does not lead to a competitive advantage over athletes who participate in multiple sports. Although the data are limited, there is some evidence that early sport specialization may put the young athlete at risk for overuse injuries. The focus of this review is to highlight the evidence regarding early sport specialization and risk for injury; discuss the risk factors for overuse injury in high-risk sports including ice hockey, swimming, gymnastics, and baseball; and discuss future potential research that would help define the risk of injury for young athletes who participate in early sport specialization.
This study aimed to determine the effect of plyometric training (PT) when added to habitual gymnastic training (HT) on handspring vault (HV) performance variables. Twenty youth female competitive ...gymnasts (Age: 12.5 ± 1.67 y) volunteered to participate and were randomly assigned to two independent groups. The experimental plyometric training group (PTG) undertook a six-week plyometric program, involving two additional 45 min PT sessions a week, alongside their HT, while the control group (CG) performed regular HT only. Videography was used (120 Hz) in the sagittal plane to record both groups performing three HVs for both the baseline and post-intervention trials. Furthermore, participants completed a countermovement jump test (CMJ) to assess the effect of PT on functional power. Through the use of Quintic biomechanics software, significant improvements (P < 0.05) were found for the PTG for run-up velocity, take-off velocity, hurdle to board distance, board contact time, table contact time and post-flight time and CMJ height. However, there were no significant improvements on pre-flight time, shoulder angle or hip angle on the vault for the PTG. The CG demonstrated no improvement for all HV measures. A sport-specific PT intervention improved handspring vault performance measures and functional power when added to the habitual training of youth female gymnasts. The additional two hours plyometric training seemingly improved the power generating capacity of movement-specific musculature, which consequently improved aspects of vaulting performance. Future research is required to examine the whether the improvements are as a consequence of the additional volume of sprinting and jumping activities, as a result of the specific PT method or a combination of these factors.
The purpose of this study was to give information and provide to coaches and junior gymnasts some trends and important guidelines for exercises that are key to the development of gymnasts at an ...earlier age. Recordings of exercises from the rings’ finalists were taken and used. An analysis of the content of the combinations was made by two international category judges, according to the current Code of Points. The results showed that elements with C difficulty are most common in the finalist’s routines. The average difficulty score was 4,538, and execution score was 8,843. The routine with the highest recognized difficulty was performed by a gymnast from China with a score of 4,8. The most common element was from group I - Kip and swing elements & swings through or to handstand. All of the considered routines contained Yamawaki, Jonasson, swing fwd. with straight arms to handstand (2 s.), and giant swing to handstand with straight arms (2 s.). Coaches and junior gymnasts should try to increase the D score above 4,5 by including elements with a higher score from groups II and III, in addition to decreasing deduction of elements in routines below 1,2.
Gymnastics is a gesture carried out in a certain way at a certain speed to train members of the entire body. Multimedia learning is presented visually in the form of moving images that can display ...gymnastics in order to decrease fat at the waist. The purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate between Pilates gymnastic methods and hula hoop gymnastic methods and obesity levels to reduce fat at the waist. The research method used was Pilates gymnastics method and hula gymnastic method that uses multimedia. This study is expected to produce the availability of guidance in the form of text, audio, visual and video for someone who will carry out gymnastics. So that it can be concluded that gymnastics using multimedia as an additional device can more quickly achieve the desired results.
PURPOSEUlnar variance (UV) is a radiographic measurement relating the articular surface heights of the distal radius and ulna. Abnormal UV increases the risk for wrist pathology; however, it only ...provides a static measurement of an inherently dynamic bony relationship that changes with wrist position and loading. The purpose of this study was to investigate how full-body weight-bearing affects UV using weight-bearing computed tomography (WBCT).METHODSTen gymnasts completed two 45-second scans inside a WBCT machine while performing a handstand on a flat platform (H) and parallettes (P). A non-weight-bearing CT scan was collected to match clinical practice (N). Differences in UV between weight-bearing conditions were evaluated separately for dominant and nondominant sides, and then, UV was compared between weight-bearing conditions on pooled dominant/nondominant data.RESULTSPooled analyses comparing weight-bearing conditions revealed a significant increase in UV for H versus N (0.58 mm) and P versus N (1.00 mm), but no significant change in UV for H versus P (0.43 mm). Significant differences in UV were detected for H versus N, P versus N, and H versus P for dominant and nondominant extremities. The change from N to H was significantly greater in the dominant versus nondominant side, but greater in the nondominant side from N to P.CONCLUSIONSUlnar variance changed with the application of load and position of the wrist. Differences in UV were found between dominant and nondominant extremities.CLINICAL RELEVANCEUpper extremity loading patterns are affected by hand dominance as defined by a cartwheel and suggest skeletal consequences from repetitive load on a dominantly used wrist. Although statistically significant, subtle changes detected in this investigational study do not necessarily bear clinical significance. Future WBCT research can lead to improved diagnostic measures for wrist pathologies affected by active loading and rotational wrist behavior.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical presentation (using PCSS), mechanism of injury, and recovery time of concussions sustained by gymnasts.
A retrospective chart review was ...performed at Boston Children's Hospital: Sports Medicine Clinic. Patients were identified with the words 'gymnastics' and 'concussion.' Male and female gymnasts were included if they sustained a concussion during gymnastics training or competition and were between the ages of 6-22 years old. Sex, age, injury site, diagnosis, mechanism of injury, and time to presentation are described. Patients were compared during different types of gymnastics events for overall symptom burden, and individual symptom severities.
A total of 201 charts were assessed over a 6-year period and 62 patients met inclusion criteria. Floor exercise was the most common event at the time of injury. Loss of consciousness occurred in 20% of injuries. There was no significant association between the type of event and PCSS upon initial clinical visit (p = 0.82). A total of 13 gymnasts returned to the clinic for a subsequent injury after their concussion (Table 3).
Gymnasts are at risk for sport-related concussions. Most gymnasts reporting to a tertiary care center with the diagnosis of concussion sustain their injuries during floor exercise.
