Gymnastics Training Book: Gymnastics Conditioning for the Legs and AnklesBy Karen M. Goeller ISBN: 978-1-4116-2033-9 (Old ISBN: 1-4116-2033-X)
Published 2004 / 61 pages / 6" x 9" / Soft Cover
/ E-book available too!
Enjoyed the books!! They were awesome!!!" John Deere
“Super fast shipment, excellent books, thank you very much!” D Reeves, FL
“Thanks. Definitely worth it. Good books. Professional service.” A Glenbovitch, CT
Leg Conditioning:
Some exercises specifically concentrate on the gymnastic landing technique
while others help develop strength. In addition to improved landings, your
gymnast may utilize this new strength for the take off of many gymnastic
skills. The lunge prior to the round-off, the front handspring, back
handsprings and any other
gymnastic skill that
requires a quick straightening of the knee joint may become more dynamic.
The force a gymnast must endure upon landings can be as much as 10-13
times the gymnast's body weight. Imagine how strong her lower body must be
in order to endure such impact! Yet, look at how many gymnasts performing
high levels skills have trouble landing on their feet because it appears
their legs collapse or they do not use the correct technique for landing
because it is never practiced as a separate gymnastic skill. These
exercises help to strengthen the gymnasts legs so that she can land with
control and decrease the chance of injury to the lower body upon these
landings.
These gymnastic drills should be incorporated into a balanced training
program, to include general and sport-specific conditioning, speed,
endurance, flexibility, and of course, skills, combinations, and routines.
Ankle Conditioning:
This gymnastic book should be very useful for those
gymnastics coaches
and athletes who need more ideas on how to stretch and strengthen the ankle
and foot areas. The exercises have been used to help keep the gymnast’s
ankles and feet in good condition. Many of these exercises have helped
prevent injury and chronic pain by keeping the gymnast's ankles strong and
flexible. This is crucial for daily gymnastic training as well as skill
landings.
A gymnast's ankles must be both strong and flexible. She must endure several
landings, sometimes from heights as much as eight to ten feet in the air!
These landings, especially from gymnastic skills such as the double back, sometimes
have the force of 10-13 times the gymnast's body weight. Imagine how
strong
her lower body must be to endure such impact! At times, the gymnast may over
or under rotate during skills. When the gymnast lands from a gymnastic skill
that was not performed with the correct technique she may land "short,"
often hyper extending her ankle. The more flexible her ankle is during these
landings, the less chance she will suffer a severe injury.
The gymnast must also remain high on her toes for extended periods of time, often during balance beam or floor exercise routines. She must be accustomed to working high on her toes with stability. These gymnastic drills help with ankle stability.

"Thank
YOU! I meant to write and tell you, this will be my 2nd order and I REALLY appreciate your innovative ideas and excellent
information! As a gymnast basically since I was a toddler, and a coach now, it's
great to still be involved and learn new training methods! Can't wait to see
more-thank you!" Y. Volkert
