The Science of Gymnastics provides an accessible introduction to the physiological, biomechanical and psychological principles underpinning performance in gymnastics, examining every key aspect of gymnastic training and performance.

This edition introduces three new sections: applied coaching, motor learning and injury prevention and safety. It uses case studies and review questions, and features contributions from leading international sport scientists and gymnastics coaches and instructors.

This book is essential reading for any student, researcher or coach with an interest in gymnastics, and useful applied reading for any student of sport science or sports coaching.
