The research problem lies in studying the relationship between some biomechanical variables and the degree of pain in the leg area, specifically at the moment the foot hits the ground on the floor movement mat in gymnastics, due to its significant impact on the player's performance and achieving a high level. This type of injury occurs frequently due to the body's forces not being proportional to the reaction of the tool or the ground. The main objective of this research is to study the relationship between some biomechanical variables and the degree of pain in the leg area among gymnastics players from university students. The research sample included the university gymnastics team, which included (8) players who suffer from leg pain at the moment of hitting the ground, especially in the final stage of performance and achieving balance. After conducting the tests and measurements, the data were collected and processed statistically to reach the most important conclusions:
1. The results showed that increasing the rotation angle and angular velocity increases the likelihood of injury.
2. The results showed that there is a strong correlation between the rotation angle and angular velocity with the degree of pain.
