This study assesses the understanding and awareness of injury prevention programmes in minimising wrist injuries in gymnastics. The study uses a mixed-method approach, collecting extensive data via an anonymous online survey for gymnasts and their parents or guardians, and interviews with coaches. The research aims to understand program awareness, implementation, barriers, and outcomes from various perspectives. The findings from the study contribute to the existing body of knowledge on wrist injury prevention in gymnastics and provide valuable insights for improving training practices and program design to create safer gymnast-centric training programs. The study shows that flexibility and strength training alone do not significantly reduce wrist injuries in gymnastics, suggesting the need for a more comprehensive injury prevention approach. Findings also highlight the importance of balancing training frequency with adequate rest days to minimise injury risk. The lack of awareness and inconsistent implementation of injury prevention programs indicates a need for better communication and education among gymnasts, coaches and their parents/guardians. Interviews with coaches emphasise gradual training progression, strength building, and holistic well-being, underscoring the importance of a multifaceted approach to injury prevention. The study concludes that injury prevention programs must be prioritised and implemented effectively to further reduce the risk of wrist injuries, highlighting the importance of a multifaceted individualised approach to wrist injury prevention in gymnastics.
