Abstract

The incidence of injuries reported in artistic gymnastics varies greatly. This is partly due to inconsistencies in defining and reporting injuries in artistic gymnastics. The objective was to develop consistent definitions and methodology for reporting injuries in artistic gymnastics. A group of medical practitioners working with international-level artistic gymnasts from America, Asia, Australia and Europe came to a consensus on recommendations for defining and reporting injuries in artistic gymnastics. Development of the consensus statement was achieved through in-person and online discussions, online surveys and post meeting electronic discussions. This consensus statement is meant to serve as an extension to the recommendations made by the IOC on injury surveillance. The statement includes specific recommendations of injury definitions, characterising activity at the time of injury, and describing injury burden in artistic gymnastics. The following consensus statement has been developed to encourage consistency of injury surveillance in artistic gymnastics. Reporting injury in a consistent manner will help understand the true burden of injury in artistic gymnastics and help guide future work in injury prevention.
