Resistance training involves any exercise that causes the major muscle groups to contract. Whilst many gymnasts use their own body weight as a form of resistance, there are a number useful products, such as the Gymnastics Kinetic Bands, that provide the external resistance need to increase strength, tone and endurance.

Resistance training plays an essential role in gymnastics. Not only does resistance training enhance performance, it also works to unlock a plethora of benefits for both amateur and elite gymnasts.

The benefits of resistance training

There are a number of techniques that are deemed useful and effective for creating resistance, improving muscle strength and enhancing elasticity. Just one of the benefits of resistance training for gymnasts is the improvement of balance, one factor that is integral to success when using the balance beam. In addition to enhancing beam balance and perfecting performance from the grassroots up, resistance training, particularly with the use of Gymnastics Kinetic Bands, allows the gymnast to improve muscle and wider body control to unlock full motion.

Resistance training has also been proven to enhance performance whilst carrying out floor exercises. Thanks to an improved level of flexibility, gymnasts can boost jumping height, enhance speed and complete a greater number of rotations.

Techniques can also be improved when working on the vault, uneven bars, rings and high bar, with gymnasts able to strengthen the muscles to increase skill level on these vital pieces of apparatus.

The role of Gymnastics Bands in training

Whilst working with your own body weight enables you to achieve a certain level of resistance, using Gymnastics Kinetic Bands on the lower part of your body can improve strength further without putting additional and unnecessary stress and strain on the joints.

The use of Kinetic Bands also makes resistance training much safer, decreasing the chances of you sustaining one of the many injuries that commonly occur in gymnastics. It’s important to remember that no one is immune to injury, and with the correct level of resistance training and a personalised routine that complements your goals and current fitness level you can improve strength, increase confidence and make your body much more limber.

Again the use of Gymnastics Kinetic Bands when training on the balance beam, floor, uneven bars, rings, high bar or vault can improve performance further, whether you are a beginner or an elite performer.
