Gymnastics requires an adequate level of cardiorespiratory fitness, corpse muscle strength, and also full body flexibility. More than any sport, it encompasses technical movements that need to be perfected exclusively step by step.

What should gymnasts practice?

Generally running, swimming and interval training are examples of cardiorespiratory activities. They will help you build the stamina necessary to master a particular discipline. Otherwise, the training should be aimed at maintaining a high level of flexibility, as well as complex and multi-targeted mobility of the joints. Spinal stability is of crucial importance. Therefore, for this sport, a combination of bending and twisting exercises with isometric exercises is recommended. Isometric strength is especially important for maintaining the demanding position of the parterre, the rings, and the pommel horse.

Preparation

Warming up

Isometry

An example of an isometric exercise is an uphill stair walk. These exercises help build core strength and activate upper and lower body muscles. By doing so, you will improve your body’s ability to stabilize and maintain the load on the limbs.

Extension

An example of an extension exercise is corpse bending. It helps you stabilize and strengthen the muscles of the spine and control movement. At the same time, it improves strength and mobility in the hips and legs.

Flexion

Flexion exercises such as hanging leg raise help to develop strength and power in the abdominal and hip muscles. Especially in the situation of lifting and maintaining the load on the lower part of the body.
