Static Stretching for Flexibility:

Static flexibility stretching is when a gymnast holds a stretchingposition for a certain period of time. An example of a staticstretch is sitting in the splits. There are three types of splitsthat a gymnast must be able to perform. They are the right legforward splits, left leg forward splits, and middle, also known asstraddle splits. As a gymnast advances from level to level,gymnasts can extend their splits past a flat level, which requireseven greater flexibility.


Dynamic Stretching for Flexibility:

Dynamic flexibility stretching is when a gymnast utilizes swingingmovements of the arms and legs to increase flexibility and improvetheir range of motion. Examples of dynamic flexibility stretchingare split kicks, leading splits, and scales. When a gymnast puts onthe Myosource Lower Body Kinetic Bands, they allow dynamicflexibility moves and skills to be performed by adding resistanceto build strength while increasing flexibility. The bands do notrestrict movements and are hands free for performing gymnasticstumbling skills and flexibility moves.

Acrobat and tumbling skills in gymnastics require shoulder and armflexibility. If a gymnast’s shoulders are not flexible enough torotate and roll it will be impossible to tumble with anyexplosiveness or proper technique to score high. Gymnasts must alsoremember that flexibility on both sides of the body must be trainedto become equally flexible to perform gymnastic event routinesexplosively.
