Study OKs Contact For Women Athletes
Dr. Thomas E. Shaffer and Dr. H Spencer Turner report a nine month study at Ohio State University of 241 women athletes from 1973 to 1974. Gymnastics showed the highest injury rate, with sprains most common and fractures or concussions rare. The study suggests women can train vigorously and compete within their own groups, though gymnastics involves nontraditional contact with equipment.
