The Importance of Strength & Conditioning for Gymnasts
While nothing can replace the role of technical training in the sport of gymnastics, this training alone will not lead to adequate strength and power for healthy high-level gymnastics, optimal health, wellbeing, and performance. A periodized strength and conditioning program used to complement gymnastics training can have an incredible impact on improving performance and decreasing injury rates for gymnastics clubs.
