Newton's Laws of Motion have everything to do with gymnastics. AS far as I can recall the laws are: # A body at rest remains at rest until acted on by an outside or extermal force. An object in motion remains in motion until acted on by an outside or external force. # The force of an object is equal to it's mass times acceleration. # For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. A gymnasts' body is subject to the laws fo gravity and motion. A gymnast that is perfoming an aerial skill cannot remain in the air indefinitely because gravity prevents their body from remaining in the air for more than a few seconds. Gravity is the outside force acting on the gymnast's body (object in motion). Friction and other forms of resistence have to be taken into consideration when teaching and practicing gymnastics skills that involve flipping or swinging high off the ground. Gymnastics coaches need to understand how the laws of motion and physics affects a gymnastics performance so they can adapt their teaching to take advantage of these laws if possible.
