The most common anatomical location was the ankle (69 cases, 45.7%), followed by the knee (40 cases, 26.5%). The rate of mild injuries was 26.6% (25 cases), that of moderate injuries was 44% (41 cases), and that of major injuries was 29% (27 cases). The incidence of injury to the ankle and knee was significantly higher in the floor exercise, especially during the landing phase, than in the other events.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>By its nature, gymnastics predisposes to acute injuries, but up to 75% are mild or moderate.
