Hi there!
I'm doing a school project on common gymnastics injuries. I was wondering if you could give me some ideas on what I could do.

Thanks!

You could do an overuse injury, as those are very common. The injurys that are most interesting to me are injurys to the knee, such as a torn ACL. I also think back injurys are cool. I know I am weird that I think injurys are cool...I want to be a Sports Medicane physical when i am older!
 
You should contact a local gym and ask them what the most common injuries they have. It might be interesting to see if girls who are competing have different injuries than girls that do it for recreational purposes.

I know my dd says that an ambulance shows up often at the gym, but it is usually for the recreational gymnasts.

My dd broke her tibia at her knee last summer.

Good luck with your project.
 
At one time, my whole team wore at least 1 kneebrace so i think all kinds of knee injuries. And also we have alot of our optional team has been put in a boot or and ankle cast at some point.
