| Abstract |
Like previously said, injuries are career changing and can permanently affect many gymnasts. The purpose of this experiment is to let us know if flexibility does in fact impact the amount we get injured and help prevent injuries. If it is found out that it is true that flexibility levels affect the amount gymnasts get injured it could spread more awareness to many gyms making flexibility a higher priority not only for performance, but for safety. This would mean less injuries, fewer surgeries, less time out of the gym waiting to heal, less retiring from the sport, and overall a happier gymnastics community. |
