In gymnastics, you must have a lot of strength in order to tumble and do skills. Conditioning is one of the most important things to do, in a gymnastics practice. You cannot do a back flip if you have no muscles. Gymnastics takes lots of upper body strength. You need strength to support your own body weight.

∙ 13y agoStrength and flexibility are two of the key things a person needs in gymnastics. Strength for mostly bars and vault and flexibility for beam. For Floor you really need both. So to answer your question it is very important. I would know beause I am a level 8 gymnast and 12 and I am not that flexible so it is hard for me to stay tight with straight legs. You really need it!! I can't stress that enough.
