Gymnasts practise many hours a week, and symptoms from injuries do not seem to stop them from continuing with practice. They may even compete with symptoms from injuries, which could increase the risk of reinjury, or of the occurrence of a more severe injury.
To investigate whether team gymnasts compete at high level in spite of symptoms from an injury.
188 male and female competitors participating in the Swedish Cup for juniors and seniors answered a questionnaire about symptoms from injuries on the day of the competition.
More than half the gymnasts (58%) competed despite having symptoms from an injury on the day of the competition. More seniors than juniors competed in spite of symptoms from an injury (p = 0.006). Two of three team gymnasts (65%) reported symptoms from the lower extremities and around one in five (22%) reported back symptoms. Fifty five per cent of the gymnasts reported recurrence of an injury at the same site (reinjury).
There was a high prevalence of symptoms from injuries on the day of competition. This did not stop the team gymnasts from competing.
体操运动员每周训练数小时,受伤症状似乎并未阻止他们继续训练。他们甚至可能带伤参赛,这可能会增加再次受伤或出现更严重损伤的风险。
调查团体体操运动员是否会不顾伤痛症状而高水平参赛。
188名参加瑞典青少年及成年组杯赛的男女运动员在比赛当天回答了一份关于伤痛症状的问卷。
超过半数的体操运动员(58%)在比赛当天尽管有伤仍参赛。成年组中不顾伤痛症状参赛的运动员比青少年组更多(p = 0.006)。三分之二的团体体操运动员(65%)报告下肢有症状,约五分之一(22%)报告背部有症状。55%的体操运动员报告同一部位再次受伤(复伤)。
比赛当天伤痛症状的发生率很高。但这并未阻止团体体操运动员参赛。
