Injury Risks Among Acrobatic Gymnastics in Relation to Balance Training (ACRO-GYM)
Evaluation of the Injury Risks Among Acrobatic Gymnastics in Relation to Dynamic and Static Balance Training
The goal of this observational study is to understand how injury risk is related to dynamic and static balance, foot posture, training characteristics, and sleep quality in competitive acrobatic gymnasts of different ages, sexes, categories, and positions (base, middle, top). The main questions it aims to answer are:
Do acute and overuse injury occurrence and severity differ by age, sex, acrobatic category, and position in the pyramid?
Are injury risks associated with balance performance, foot posture index, overuse injury questionnaire scores, and sleep quality scores?
Participants will:
Complete online questionnaires including a sports injury/overuse questionnaire (OSTRC-O) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
Provide information on age, sex, training history, acrobatic category and position, and previous injuries.
Undergo balance and foot posture assessments according to the study protocol.

Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center Overuse Injury Questionnaire (OSTRC-O)
Tidsramme: Baseline
|
Injury presence and severity over the last 12 months assessed by the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center Overuse Injury Questionnaire (OSTRC-O); total score categorized as injury vs. no-injury (score >0 vs. 0). Used to evaluate Injury occurrence and severity in acrobatic gymnasts. |
Baseline
|
|
Sociodemographic Assessment
Tidsramme: Baseline
|
The athletes' age, sex, weight, height, sports history, daily and weekly training hours, number of years participating in this sport, history of physical/recreational activities, and social participation habits will be investigated using a specially designed questionnaire. |
Baseline
|
|
Body Mass Index (BMI)
Tidsramme: Baseline
|
Body mass index (BMI) will be calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by the square of height in meters (kg/m²). |
Baseline
|
|
6-item Foot Posture Index (FPI)
Tidsramme: Baseline
|
Foot posture will be assessed using the 6-item Foot Posture Index (FPI), which scores each foot from -2 to +2 per item and yields a total score indicating supinated (negative values), neutral (0 to +5), or pronated (>+5) foot posture based on standardized photographs taken in relaxed standing. |
Baseline
|
|
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
Tidsramme: Baseline
|
Sleep quality will be assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), a 19-item self-report questionnaire that yields a total score from 0 to 21, where higher scores indicate worse sleep quality and scores above 5 reflect poor clinical sleep quality. |
