This study aimed to investigate the study of vertebra transforms of professional gymnasts by Formetric Ⅲ. Thirty gymnasts(male=20, female=10) volunteered to participated in this study as subjects. The vertebra transforms by Formetric Ⅲ were measured in Trunk imbalance, Pelvic tilt, Pelvic torsion, Surface rotation, Lateral deviation, Kyphotic angle and Lordotic angle. Main results of the study were as follow: Trunk Imbalance in male and female were shown to -7.50±3.14mm and -6.00±2.07mm respectively compared to base line. Pelvic Tilt in male and female were shown to 4.35±2.93mm, 6.70±2.17mm. Pelvic Torsion in male and female were shown to 2.05±1.19°, 3.50±1.59°. Surface Rotation in male and female were shown to4.10±1.81°, 3.50±1.65°. Lateral Deviation in male and female were shown to 8.36±3.64mm, 7.60±3.20mm. Kyphotic Angle in male and female were shown to 37.80±8.50°, 38.10±4.53°. Lordotic Angle in male and female were shown to 23.15±7.79°, 27.90±7.67° respectively. These results show that wrong or improper position and repetitive one-sided gymnasts practice lead a significant transforms in the vertebra. Therefore, the program for correct position and education for professional gymnasts should be needed and applied.
