| Abstract | Introduction: Gymnastics involves complex movement and combines various movements with the high level of intensity and difficulty both during practice and competition that could lead to an injury. Body proportion is one aspect that may lead to injuries.Therefore, this study aimed to examine the relationship between anthropometric characteristics and the rate of injury of any part of body in Thai national gymnasts. Method: Nineartistic gymnastsand four rhythmic gymnasts volunteered and participated in this study.Anthropometric measurements were collected from all participants. The incidence and prevalence of injuries were recorded by physiotherapists working for the Thai gymnastic national team. Results: Anthropometry(weight, BMI, waist) and percentage body fat of gymnasts showedpositive relationship to injuries in some part of body such as scapular injury (p = 0.012)shoulder injury (p = 0.035), wrist injury (p = 0.042), knee injury (p = 0.029)and ankle injury (p = 0.022). Furthermore, the lower extremity difference was correlated to knee injuries (p = 0.045).Conclusion: There was a significant relationship between gymnastic anthropometry and injuries especially in lower extremities. The result of this study may be useful for coaches, athletes, and their teams to plan a practice program and prepare a gymnast to avoid an injury during training and competition. |
