Gravity is not "used". In gymnastics, gymnasts almost defy-gravity by flipping in the air but have no control of what gravity does.

How is science useful in gymnastics?

Science is useful in gymnastics because it contributes to every trick that you may do. For example, the force of gravity affected your balance and performance on every element and equipment in the whole gym centre, AKA; the beam- your sense of balance, the bars and rings- gravity pulls you down, and on the trampoline and floor, you are able to fly through the air(but not for very long)!!!Science is useful in gymnastics because of gravity, surface tension, heat energy, static electricity and friction.


Does gymnastics deal with gravity?

Yes. Gymnasts learn gravity way before they learn it in school!! We have to learn that when doing a flip you have to set (shoot up in a strait body really fast) before flipping so the gravity doesn't pull you down before the flip is done!

In gymnastics they use uneven bars,the beam,floor exercise,and the vault
