All-Star Elite Tumbling Survey

[imrichhowboutu]

I have created a survey for Elite Tumblers only to get an idea of the injuries among these tumblers and also to get their opinions on a few topics.

Please only complete this survey if you are an elite tumbler. This means you either have or are working on skills like Standing Fulls, Standing Doubles, Standing Handsprings to Doubles, Whip Doubles, Full - Doubles, Double Double, etc.

If you just want to click the link to look at the survey that is fine, BUT PLEASE DON'T CLICK SUBMIT ON THE FINAL PAGE, unless you fall into the Elite Tumbler category.

Kind of upset that my fierce cartwheel forward roll round off rebound jump to split doesn't qualify to take the survey... But I am interested to see the results you receive!

My cp is an elite tumbler. She filled out the survey through my account because she is not in the fierce board. Thanks for doing this!

Excellent survey!

Any ideas of how to find out how many elite tumblers there are doing all star cheer?

I would have said the same thing. Thatdm would be the only good way to get a semi accurate count.

Seriously, though, I don't think the poll is a bad idea, but injury polls are working off the assumption that all (elite) tumblers suffer an injury. I know plenty that haven't. I would hate to see anyone do research that didn't take into account a total number of tumblers, then a percentage of those tumblers who have been injured.

I keep wanting a middle ground on some of these answers. Sometimes I don't know how I feel about stuff, and having a 'Maybe' answer is usually excluded from these surveys.

I agree, but any research that might help I'm all for it! I still believe (until proven otherwise) that the #1 & #2 TUMBLING MAJOR injuries come from LEARNING straight fulls and straight doubles. However I am very interested to see the results. I'm glad to see that this recent situation, for better or worse has heightened peoples WANT for information!

17% of people who took the survey said they didn't have an injury related to elite tumbling.
8% needed surgery because of their injury.

I have had 170 people respond so far. I am probably gonna leave it open for another 2 weeks or so.

17% Didn't have an injury? So, 83% of the elite tumblers so far have been injured?

Yes. But it includes minor injuries that didn't need medical attention like sprained ankles.

54% said they had an injury with no medical attention. The issue here is that i allowed people to select more than one option realizing there could have been multiple injuries of varying severity. So it won't total 100% if you add it up.
