well many things if gymnastics is started by a child at a young age and is practiced till the late or early teens it can be very grueling on the body and cause many spinal problems because all that is happening is all the stress on the spine that gymnastics puts on the body is happening at the developing stage so really it is super hard on the body and has the 2nd highest total injuries in a sport. Physical therapists also say that a girl who starts gymnastics at 4 by the time she hits 14 or 15 she will have the bone structure and strength of a 70 year old.

you can brake your bones or sprain or strain them you have to be careful of how you do things so you don't get hurt so you don't have to go through major injuries

Well, the list almost seems endless! You can have:

  • broken bones
  • sprains
  • pulled muscles
  • torn muscles
  • fractures
  • rips (the callusses on your hands from the bars rips off)
  • in severe cases, head injuries due to hitting your head on the beam when tumbling or dismounting
  • Gymnastics is very hard on the back muscles and spine and shins as well.

You can definitely get hurt doing gymnastics. It is a very dangerous sport. But if you do things properly, go at your own pace, and listen to the coaches you should be safe and not get hurt. Gymnastics is a very fun sport and I recommend taking it. Getting hurt in it should be the least of your worries. Don't let that stop you because you can get hurt in any sport.
