    MAG Stretching routine and fear of going backward

    Hey, first of all thank you for your help and concern. I did a few steps before i started back handspring. Now i can almost do it, but i go from the side, which is the mistake i want to fix, and the fear is what prevents me from going straight backward all the way. I still dont have a good...

    MAG Why gymnastics is for youngsters?

    not only a cartwheel on my first try, but i did learn pretty fast back and front flips, back handspring, round-off and handstand. i do have potential, my coach said that, i just need to work a lot to get over my fears. i also learn techniques by wathching others, and then i perfect them as i try...

    You can say this, but i learned riding a bike when i was 8, and today im 22 and i have no idea how to ride a bike. And muscle memory is a different subject. As a kid i never did a cartwheel, and the first time i tried in adult gymnastics, i did it easily, and also did a round-off. Sure these are...

    No matter who does that, he should treat it like some sort of a research, with the question, how far can a gymnast advance although he started late. About this, that is my plan for a long time. Im curretly searching for a source of income that is the least time consuming, and i still can live...

    About experience we dont have, thats right. But we still very good adult gymnasts, that probably train even less than 20 hours. For sure there are even level 10 adult gymnast. Take them, and train them like an elite(of course assuming they dont need to worry about living), and i dont see a...

    Its kinda confusing, on one hand its a basic sports science stuff, but on the other hand, studies are against it. So what is correct, i think we can know only through experience.

    MAG Why gymnastics is for youngsters?

    I just read a study about that window for learning motor skills, and it actually shows that the age doesnt matter. I still need to read more about this, but one study is already against the golden age idea. Maybe cause of this we can stop restricting gymnastics for young people only, and start...

    Now thats interesting, i talked about it with a friend who's trying to learn English. He is 23, and he asked me how i know english so well, and i guessed that there was a window of learning in a young age, i just didnt think this was true. The question is if there is a scientific review about...
