ENHANCING SAFETY STANDARDS IN TRAMPOLINE GYMNASTICS: REDUCING INJURY RISK THROUGH BIOMECHANICAL MONITORING
Abstract
Trampoline gymnastics is a discipline characterized by complex acrobatic elements performed under high dynamic loads, which significantly increase the risk of musculoskeletal injuries. The purpose of this study is to develop an evidence-based framework for improving safety standards in trampoline gymnastics through biomechanical monitoring and analysis. Using high-speed motion capture systems, force plates, and wearable inertial sensors, kinematic and kinetic parameters of athletes’ performance were evaluated during various jump phases. The results revealed that real-time biomechanical feedback allows coaches to identify asymmetries, improper landing angles, and excessive joint loads, which are key predictors of injury. Implementing individualized biomechanical control protocols reduced the incidence of acute and overuse injuries by up to 27% across the experimental group. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating biomechanical data into daily training processes to optimize movement efficiency, enhance neuromuscular control, and ensure long-term athlete safety. This research provides practical recommendations for sports scientists, coaches, and governing bodies aimed at establishing advanced safety standards in trampoline gymnastics.
