They serve to improve the flexibility of the foot arches and strengthen the feet. Stretching bands help gymnasts strengthen specific muscle groups. They gently strengthen and relax muscles without causing injuries.
Yoga blocks
Gymnasts use yoga blocks during the preparatory, main, and concluding parts of each training session. They help with the correct execution of some exercises from GPP (General Physical Preparation), for stretching, as well as for relaxation exercises at the end of the training process.
Important Gymnastics Apparatus
Gymnastics apparatus are an important part of training. Initially, they are used to develop flexibility, coordination, and balance, and over time, more complex exercises are incorporated. The apparatus support the development of various physical qualities – the ball for balance and weight, the rope for explosive power, and the clubs, hoop, and ribbon for coordination.
