Abstract
Gymnastics coaches and administrators in the US are reluctant to include weight training with female gymnasts because they believe it produces detrimental increases in muscle mass. However, weight training based on highintensity lowrepetition sets is likely to improve the performance of most gymnasts by increasing strength with minimal muscle hypertrophy.
