What does strength have to do with gymnastics?

In: Gymnastics [Edit categories]

Answer:

In gymnastics, you must have a lot of strength in order to tumble and do skills. Conditioning is one of the most important things to do, in a gymnastics practice. You cannot do a back flip if you have no muscles. Gymnastics takes lots of upper body strength. You need strength to support your own body weight.
