Making of a gymnast
• Many will start working on gymnastic related skill elements by the age of 6
• Naturally self selecting based on skill confidence and courage
• Women peak in the mid to late teens

The influence of the growing skeleton
• Growth plate injury
– Compression – load bearing in support– Shear – rotational stress – Traction – take off landing and swing.
• Trauma– Ligamentous – Bony
