Ankle injuries of elite male Iranian gymnasts and anthropometric characteristics by Ali Tavanaı, Hadi Ghasempour, Mohammad Alızadeh, Reza Rajabı

“…Seventy-nine percent of gymnasts experienced ankle injuries over the past year, mostly on the floor (58%) and vault (29%), and joint and ligamentous injuries occurred most frequently. Body size had a positive relationship with the injuries (p lt; 0.05), and no meaningful correlation was identified between number of injuries and other anthropometric characteristics (p lt; 0.05).Gymnasts and coaches should pay special attention to body size as an intrinsic risk factor and take preventive measures to decrease ankle injuries…”
