  • Athletes and Coaches' Gender Inequality: the Case of The
    Silva M-R.G., Barata P.: ATHLETES AND COACHES' GENDER INEQUALITY: THE CASE OF… Vol. 8 Issue 2: 187 - 196 ATHLETES AND COACHES’ GENDER INEQUALITY: THE CASE OF THE GYMNASTICS FEDERATION OF PORTUGAL Maria-Raquel G. Silva1-3, Paulo Barata4 1Scientific Commission of the Gymnastics Federation of Portugal, Lisbon, Portugal 2Faculty of Health Sciences, University Fernando Pessoa, Oporto, Portugal 3Research Centre for Anthropology and Health, University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal 4National School of Gymnastics, Gymnastics Federation of Portugal, Lisbon, Portugal Original article Abstract The aim of this study was to analyze the gender-participation among Portuguese gymnasts and Portuguese coaches, according to gymnastics’ disciplines and geographical areas of Portugal. An individual-authorized data base of all national gymnasts involved in the National School of Gymnastics of the Gymnastics Federation of Portugal (Federação de Ginástica de Portugal) during three athletic seasons, namely 2012/2013, 2013/2014 and 2014/2015. Data from coaches was only available for the season of 2012/2013. In the athletic season of 2012/2013, from a sample of 14742 gymnasts, 81.2% were female and only 18.7% were male (P< 0.01). Similar results were found in the next two seasons as follows: 83.2% were female and 16.7% were male in 2013/2014 and 84.9% were female and 15.1% were male in 2014/2015. Significantly gymnasts-gender differences (P<0.01) were observed for all disciplines. In RG, WAG and MAG no differences between genders were observed due to the exclusive sport participation of female or male gymnasts, respectively. The same tendency of gymnasts’ genderparticipation was observed for coaches; thus, the majority of Portuguese coaches (57.7%) was female and 42.3% were male.

  • Swedish Teamgym – Injury Incidence, Mechanism, Diagnosis and Postural Control
    From the department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, Stockholm Sports Trauma Research Center, Karolinska Institutet, and the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences, Stockholm, Sweden Swedish TeamGym – Injury incidence, mechanism, diagnosis and postural control Marita L Harringe Stockholm 2007 All previously published papers were reproduced with permission from the publisher. Published by Karolinska Institutet. Printed by Reproprint © M arita L H arrin g e, 2007 ISBN 978-91-7357- -4 15-0 Omslagsbild © S usanne Linde r Printed by 2007 Gårdsvägen 4, 169 70 Solna ABSTRACT Teamgym is a fairly new and popular form of gymnastics originating in Scandinavia. Among the gymnastics disciplines teamgym attracts the highest number of gymnasts in Sweden. The discipline differs in several ways from the most known form of gymnastics, artistic gymnastics. It is therefore important to study injury incidence, mechanism and diagnosis in teamgym to be able to develop relevant injury prevention programs. Aim: The main aim of the present thesis was to study injury incidence, injury mechanism, injury site and diagnosis in Swedish teamgym. A second aim was to evaluate if specific exercises for segmental muscle control of the lumbar spine can prevent or reduce low back pain in young female gymnasts. A third aim was to study if, and in that case how, low back pain or lower extremity injuries influence postural control, and also to evaluate the reliability of postural control measurements. Material and method: This thesis included gymnasts during practice and competition. One hundred and eighty-eight gymnasts answered a questionnaire during a National Championship for male and female juniors as well as seniors (study I).

  • General Faults & Penalties
    General Faults & Penalties COMPULSORY Uneven Bars, Balance Beam and Floor Exercise It is intended that all elements and connections be performed with maximum amplitude and execution and in the order as written in the text. Any departures from the correct technique or performance are to be penalized according to the following Table for General Faults and Penalties. Also, refer to each event for Specifc Penalties for each Level. Always apply these General Penalties whenever a Specifc Penalty is not indicated. Deduct all execution and/or amplitude errors leading to a fall. Do NOT deduct for BALANCE errors leading to a fall. The total execution and/or amplitude deductions taken on a major element MAY NOT exceed the value of the element plus 0.50. Deductions for FALLS, EXTRA SWINGS, and lack of continuity in required series due to a fall are taken in addition to the execution and/or amplitude deductions. General deductions apply in addition to or in the absence of specifc deductions. Points of Emphasis Explanation: For judging purposes, “Points of Emphasis” notes throughout the text refer to the general penalties listed. This is an important aspect in the judgment of the routine. For example, if the “Points of Emphasis” stresses “straight arms and legs” this refers to the “up to 0.30” each deduction for bent arms or bent legs. Similarly, if the “Points of Emphasis” includes a straight hollow-body position, this would refer to the “up to 0.20” deduction for incorrect body alignment, position or posture on major elements. ALL ROUTINES MAY BE REVERSED IN THEIR ENTIRETY; HOWEVER, NO SINGLE ELEMENT MAY BE REVERSED UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED.

Methods: A total of 91 Swedish elite gymnasts (junior female, n = 26, age = 15.4 y; senior female, n = 23, age = 20.0 y; junior male, n = 19, age = 15.6 y; senior male, n = 23, age = 20.6 y) participated in three testing sessions on three separate days. These Edited by: Oliver Faude, were: (1) a series of flexibility tests for the lower- and upper-body; (2) strength tests for University of Basel, Switzerland the lower- and upper-body; and (3) various types of jumps, a 20-m sprint-run, and a Reviewed by: 3,000-m run test. Olaf Prieske, University of Applied Sciences for Results: Males were 24% stronger in the back squat one-repetition maximum (relative Sports and Management to body mass) compared to females (P < 0.001, Hg = 1.35). In the pull-ups and dips, 2.4 Potsdam, Germany Jason Lake, and 2.3 times more repetitions were completed by the males compared to the females University of Chichester, (both P < 0.001, 0.70 ≤ R ≤ 0.77).
