Longitudinal study of sports injuries in practitioners of aerobic gymnastics competition

Introduccion:La gimnasia aerobica desde su pertenencia a la Federacion Internacional de Gimnasia ha sufrido cam-bios en su reglamentacion.Objetivo:Analizar las lesiones que los deportistas espanoles de gimnasia aerobica presentaron durante las diferentes ediciones del Codigo de Puntuacion.Metodos:Se ha realizado un estudio descriptivo, longitudinal y comparativo sobre la epidemiologia de las lesiones en la gimnasia aerobica publicado durante las diferentes ediciones del Codigo de Puntuacion.Resultados:El estudio destaca la disminucion del numero de lesiones, de 156 a 38 en el ultimo ano. Esta disminucion ha tenido relacion con la restriccion del numero de dificultades en el ejercicio y la cantidad de elementos a realizar en el suelo. Sin embargo, han aumentado el numero y el valor de las dificultades.Conclusiones:Por tanto, han concluido que las modificaciones que se realizan en la reglamentacion tienen como objetivo velar por la salud de los deportistas y garantizar que la competicion se desarrolle en su maximo esplendor artistico y tecnico.ABSTRACT Introduction: Aerobic gymnastics, since its membership in the International Gymnastics Federation, has undergone changes in its regulations. Objective: To analyze the injuries found in Spanish aerobic gymnastics athletes during different editions of the Code of Points. Methods: A descriptive, longitudinal and compara-tive study was carried out on the epidemiology of injuries in aerobic gymnastics published during different editions of the Code of Points. Results: It highlights that the number of injuries decreased from 156 to 38 last year. This decline has been related to the restriction on the number of difficulties in the exercise and the number of elements to be performed on the floor. However, they have increased the number and value of the difficulties. Conclusions: Therefore, it is concluded that the changes made in the regulations are intended to safeguard the health of athletes and ensure that competition develops at its best artistic and technical aspect.

Análise da incidência lesional na ginástica aeróbica espanhola de elite

INTRODUCAO: A ginastica aerobica (GA) e uma disciplina que possui exigencias fisicas especificas e treinamento adequado para prevenir ou minimizar a ocorrencia de lesoes esportivas. OBJETIVO: Analisar a incidencia de lesoes na GA e a sua vinculacao com fatores de treinamento METODO: Realizou-se um estudo em 40 desportistas valencianos com idades compreendidas entre nove e 17 anos. O procedimento de coleta de informacoes foi atraves de um questionario de morbidade. A variavel dependente foram as lesoes durante a temporada 2009-2010 e as variaveis independentes principais foram a carga de treinamento, o material de protecao, superficie de treinamento, gesto tecnico e tipo de lesao e zona corporal lesionada. RESULTADOS: As lesoes mais reincidentes foram as relacionadas a ligamentos, afetando por igual os membros superior e inferior. A metade das lesoes ocorreu apos a realizacao dos saltos, apesar do uso de algum material de protecao, alem de terem ocorrido no inicio da temporada. Relacoes significativas entre o numero de lesoes e a experiencia, os dias de treinamento e o numero de competicoes (p < 0,05) foram encontradas. CONCLUSOES: O numero de lesoes diminuiu enquanto o uso de medidas de protecao, com destaque para as munhequeiras, aumentou. Metade das lesoes produziu-se durante o periodo de aprendizagem tecnica de dificuldades.

Anthropometric Profile in Different Event Categories of Acrobatic Gymnastics

Abstract There is a specific anthropometric profile for each sport, which may be differentiated even in relation to the position, role or event category within each sport discipline. However, there are few studies on acrobatic gymnastics, and the goal of this work was to determine the anthropometric profile depending on the event category, as well as factors that predisposed to performance in these categories. The sample consisted of 150 gymnasts from Spain, divided into 8 groups according to the event category and the role played. The kinanthropometric measurements were taken through the procedures established by the International Society for the Advancement of Kineantropometry. The anthropometric characteristics, including body mass index, somatotype, body composition and proportionality using the Phantom stratagem were analyzed, and the results obtained from the different groups were compared. A regression analysis was performed with particular groups of gymnasts. No significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed between groups of female tops or male bases, although differences were found between female group bases and female pair bases. It could be suggested that higher values of body height, sitting height, the minimum abdominal circumference, percentage of fat and low biliocristal breadth predispose female bases to work in pairs rather than in groups. The conclusion is that the anthropometric measurements are not decisive when guiding a gymnast toward choosing one event category or another, except for female bases.
