∙ 7y agoOf course! Friction applies in gymnastics in TONS of ways.
friction in gymnastics is hanging on bars. they rub chalk so there hands are rough and they get good grip.
In many ways
This would be sliding friction and it could happen when:run on the floor
Gymnastics...your hands on the uneven bars Track- your feet against the ground
No... It depends on what you would use it for... TROLOLOLOLO friction is useful to almost anything we do. We could not run, walk, stay on a balance beam, hold on to rings or a horizontal bar. We couldn't do floor exercises without friction on the mat. If you swing on parallel bars you need friction to hold onto the bars.
bars do because if your doing turn overs your hands are rubbing against the bar and that's what gives you red or blistered hands
It can be bad when a gymnast is on bars because too much friction between the bars and the hands can cause calluses/skin to rip off and leave the skin raw and/or bleeding. This can make practicing on bars very painful for a gymnast.
