The purpose of this study was to determine the number and types of injuries which occur to competitive and noncompetitive gymnasts in private clubs. Secondary purposes were to determine which events were most hazardous, and whether or not the ratio between participant and instructor, the availability of safety equipment, and the conditioning programs used affected the injury rate. The data show that gymnastics has a high injury rate for competitors, but a low injury rate for noncompetitors. The level of competition seems to be the most important factor related to rate of injury.
本研究的目的是确定在私人俱乐部中竞技体操运动员和非竞技体操运动员受伤的数量及类型。次要目的是确定哪些项目最具危险性，以及参与者与教练的比例、安全设备的可用性和所采用的体能训练计划是否会影响受伤率。数据显示，体操对竞技者来说受伤率较高，但对非竞技者来说受伤率较低。竞争水平似乎是与受伤率相关的最重要因素。
