Yes, gymnasts can experience joint problems later in life, largely due to the physical demands of the sport. Factors contributing to these issues include: Repetitive Stress: Gymnastics involves repetitive high-impact movements that can lead to wear and tear on joints, particularly in the knees, ankles, and wrists.
Risk factors for injury in gymnastics include sex, age, previous history of injury, supervision, competing before complete recovery after injury, technique, the number of hours spent training, skill-level, and environmental factors such as landing surfaces.
This assessment identifies the common hazards associated with physical education and sports activities. As the risks or hazards may vary considerably for each physical education or sport activity, you will need to undertake individual risk assessments for specific sports e.g. football, gymnastics, rugby.
Because many gymnasts begin the sport as toddlers, those forces and stresses put pressure on developing bodies over a period of years. This can increase risk of both traumatic injuries, such as sprains, fractures, and concussions, and overuse injuries, such as stress fractures, tendonitis, and growth plate concerns.
Students can choose safe and appropriate content on the internet by using the 4 Cs of risk assessment. These include Content, Contact, Conduct, and Commerce. To ensure safety, students can assess the content they are viewing by checking for reliable sources and accurate information.
