It is important to evaluate an athlete’s performance baseline as we can then address obvious mismatch between physical status and physical requirements of sports. We can use gym specific fitness testing and injury screenings to do this. An injury screening is a tool used by physiotherapists to evaluate current status of athletes and identify those at injury risk before injury. ​ Injury screenings include health and functional evaluation of the athlete. We look for deficiencies in functional mechanics and impairment measures necessary for gymnastics. Examples include altered mechanics, muscle imbalance, asymmetries or reduced flexibility, hypermobility and dysfunctional load transmission. Results of injury screenings are reviewed and key risk factors outlined in an athlete prehab exercise program.  We ultimately want our athletes to train smarter not harder, so the idea of the screening / prehab program is to capture high risk athletes, address risk factors for injury and make programs as specific as possible both to the athlete and the sport. Programs ideally mitigate injury risk and also improve performance.
