Abstract

Performance-oriented trampoline gymnastics in clubs, like almost every sport, carries a certain risk of injuries and overexertion symptoms. This article addresses the stresses, possible injuries, and symptoms of overuse. Based on a simple movement analysis and research findings from trampoline gymnastics and other sports, possible causes were identified. The aim of this article is to shed light on the topic and highlight potential problems for coaches and athletes. In addition, movement analysis in training and competition, as well as further research, should be encouraged. This also applies to the implementation of preventive measures in training, which will be discussed in the second part.
