Gymnastics Performance

With such a physically demanding sport, requiring strength, power and flexibility, British Gymnastics use a range of services and employ a Head of Sport Science and Medicine through the UK Sports Institute.

Practitioners support athletes and coaches predominantly at Lilleshall National Sports Centre, as well as regionally in key clubs and across camps and competitions.

Whether it’s disciplines within artistic gymnastics, or trampolining, the UKSI tailors its support to help athletes’ train and compete, whilst being at their best physically, technically or psychologically. This ranges from services such as Performance Lifestyle for athletes balancing full time study and training, through to Biomechanics to optimise movement patterns, helping to improve performance and reduce injury.
