This article examines the main factors that cause injuries during gymnastics training and analyzes their pedagogical, methodological, organizational, and physiological aspects. Gymnastics is a technically complex sport that requires high levels of flexibility, strength, coordination, balance, spatial orientation, and precise motor control. Because of this complexity, the risk of injury increases when training is organized without proper methodological consistency, safety rules, adequate physical preparation, and individual consideration of athletes’ abilities. The article highlights such injury-related factors as insufficient warm-up, incorrect technique, excessive training load, poor physical conditioning, lack of supervision, inappropriate equipment, psychological tension, fatigue, and violation of safety requirements. Special attention is given to the role of the coach or teacher in preventing injuries through gradual skill development, systematic monitoring, correct demonstration of exercises, and timely correction of technical errors. The study also emphasizes that injury prevention in gymnastics is not limited to medical control but should be regarded as an integral part of the educational and training process. A scientifically based approach to training organization helps improve athletes’ performance, maintain their health, and create a safe learning environment in university-level physical education and sports practice.
