Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The Gymnastics Functional Measurement Tool (GFMT) is a series of 10 sport-specific tests that evaluates the physical fitness of female gymnasts. The standardized scoring system has been validated in a wide range of competitive level. To date, there is no screening tool to identify risk factors for injury in female gymnasts.

OBJECTIVE: To determine if the total score on the GFMT or the individual test components can identify female collegiate gymnasts who are at risk of developing an injury.

DESIGN: Prospective cohort study SETTING: Collegiate gymnastics training and competition facilities.
