Syftet med studien var att undersöka och fastställa de vanligaste skadorna samt riskfaktorer för skador inom ett lokalt gym i Sverige. Enkäten distribuerades direkt till deltagarna på två olika gymverksamheter inom samma organisation. Av de 98 deltagarna rapporterade 19 (18,63%) att de hade skadat sig under gymträning de senaste 12 månaderna. Skadefrekvensen räknades ut till 1,12 skador/1000 tränade timmar. Resultatet visade en signifikant skillnad (p=0,023) mellan den skadade och icke skadade gruppen gällande tidigare skador. Inga andra signifikanta skillnader hittades mellan grupperna. De vanligaste skadade kroppsdelarna var axel (20%), ländrygg (20%) och knä (13,3%). Skadorna framkom främst från överbelastning eller bristfällig teknik. Skadefrekvensen var lik den rapporterade skadefrekvensen inom styrkelyft och bodybuilding.

The aim of the study was to investigate and determine the most common injuries and risk factors for injuries within a local gym in Sweden. A survey was distributed at two different facilities within the same gym-organization, directly to the participants. Of the 98 participants, 19 (18,63%) reported having suffered an injury while exercising at the gym during the recent 12 months. The injury rate was determined to 1,12 injuries per 1000 hours of training. Results show a significant difference (p=0,023) between the injured group and the un-injured group related to injuries in the past training background. No further significant differences were found between the groups. However the most commonly injured bodyparts was the shoulder (20%), lower back (20%)  and knee (13,3%). Most injuries were due to overload or poor technique. The incidence of injuries is quite similar to the incidence of injuries in powerlifting and bodybuilding.
