What component of fitness is the most important for success in artistic gymnastics?
There are a range of fitness components that contribute to successful gymnastics performance. More than one is usually important, though in this poll we ask you only to nominate what you consider the most important of all the fitness components. You should also compare this to the previous fitness poll for gymnastics which only had a few options to choose from. The latest gymnastics poll takes this a step further, and requires you to rate which factors make successful gymnasts.

I think strength is good for bars and standing back-handsprings. Balance and coordination for beam... all of these things are good (from a gymnast and volleyball player, Oct 2011)

I think that flexibility is important in gymnastics but coordination and balance is too. These three link together as a gymnast is doing this throught her performance. (Oct 2011)

Yes. flexibility is the main component, this is because the gymnast needs to be able to perform a range of movement! (from keller_moo, Jan 2011).

Flexibility is one of the main components because if you are not flexible then you are not going to get anywhere. (Nov 2010).

Do you really think flexibility is the main fitness component? I'm just studying GCSE, and I am not sure, but I don't think it's the main one. (Nov 2010).
