ABSTRACT
In gymnastics, injury is one of the causes of not achieving training goals. This is likely to happen to athletes, instructors, and participants in general. The severity type of the injury is determined by the type of gymnastic activity performed. This study aimed to examine the potential for injury or pain that can occur in the upper body and lower body, before and after exercise. This research was conducted using a descriptive research design, which involved a population sample of 108 Indonesian female gymnastics athletes. Data were obtained through observation and questionnaires regarding the condition of the athletes before and after participating in the exercise. The results showed that the most pain occurred in the upper body area (shoulder, back and waist), while the lower body parts where the injury commonly emerged were the hips, hamstrings, and the hollow of the legs. It is also possible that the injury came up long after the exercise. From the observation data, the highest incidence of pain in the upper body is in the waist (34 people) and the least is in the shoulders. While in the lower body, the most pain complaints occurred in the pelvis (30 people) and the least occurred in the thighs (5 people). Thus, it can be concluded that the potential for injury due to movement activities in gymnastics has different proportions for each location. Based on these findings, to avoid the negative impact of these injuries, it is necessary to carry out strengthening exercises in areas that are prone to experiencing pain or injury.
