Summary/Abstract: Artistic gymnastics is a complex coordination- and technique-based sport that requires a high level of physical and technical preparation, as well as mental resilience. Gymnastic exercises are characterized by complex acrobatic elements, high dynamics, and frequent execution of movements with large amplitude. All of these features place significant stress on the musculoskeletal system of practitioners. For this reason, the risk of injuries in artistic gymnastics is relatively high. Injuries can occur both during training and in competition. Improper technique, insufficient physical preparation, excessive workload, and lack of adequate prevention are among the main factors leading to injuries. In modern sports science, increasing attention is being paid to injury prevention. It represents a комплекс от measures aimed at reducing the risk of injuries and creating optimal conditions for the development of athletes’ abilities. One of the most effective methods for preventing injuries is properly organized specific physical preparation. It includes exercises and training means that are directly related to the specifics of the sport and support the development of the physical qualities necessary for the safe execution of gymnastic elements. The present report is a continuation of our previous work addressing the factors influencing injury occurrence in gymnastics. The aim of this report is to analyze the role of specific physical preparation in the prevention of injuries in artistic gymnastics. Specific physical preparation represents a system of exercises aimed at developing qualities and skills required for a particular sport.
