Prevalence and physical features associated with tendon, bone, and joint pain in young artistic, acrobatic, and rhythmic female gymnasts
Objectives
To evaluate the prevalence of tendon, bone, and joint pain, and to examine the physical features associated with pain, in young artistic, acrobatic, and rhythmic female gymnasts.
Design
Cross-sectional.
Participants
274 gymnasts, aged 9–16 years.
Main outcome
All gymnasts were clinically assessed for joint, bone, and tendon pain and for training-impact, anthropometric-measures, bone-properties, muscle-strength, and joint range-of-motion (ROM).
Results
Pain was identified in 69.7 % of the participants. Artistic gymnasts suffered a higher prevalence of tendon and bone pain compared to rhythmic gymnasts (p = 0.011 and p = 0.005, respectively). Logistic-regression showed that greater BMI% and lower plantar-flexor strength were associated with tendon pain; greater BMI%, increased age, menarche, reduced tibial-strength, and reduced muscle strength with bone pain; and, increased age, reduced muscle strength and increased ROM with joint pain (p < 0.05). A reduced risk of tendon and joint pain was found in rhythmic and acrobatic gymnasts compared to artistic gymnasts, and reduced risk of bone pain when practicing rhythmic gymnastics compared to artistic gymnastics (p < 0.05).
Conclusions
Young female gymnasts are at a high risk of developing pain during training. Physical features are specific to pain categories and to gymnastics disciplines. Clinically, young gymnasts should be routinely screened for physical features and for injuries.
期刊介绍:
Physical Therapy in Sport is an international peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for the publication of research and clinical practice material relevant to the healthcare professions involved in sports and exercise medicine, and rehabilitation. The journal publishes material that is indispensable for day-to-day practice and continuing professional development. Physical Therapy in Sport covers topics dealing with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries, as well as more general areas of sports and exercise medicine and related sports science.
The journal publishes original research, case studies, reviews, masterclasses, papers on clinical approaches, and book reviews, as well as occasional reports from conferences. Papers are double-blind peer-reviewed by our international advisory board and other international experts, and submissions from a broad range of disciplines are actively encouraged.
