The book ‘High Performance Gymnastics’ is a state-of-the-art documentation of sport science research in artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, coming from a collaboration between Brazil and Germany, and referring to the III. SIGARC congress, hosted 2012 in Sao Paulo (Brazil). International renowned authors provide in-detail discussions in the fields of artistic and rhythmic gymnastics. Psychological topics, such as the role of the coach in gymnastics or athletes’ perceptions towards gymnastics are discussed, as well as topics from biomechanics, training science, or history. The edited book ‘High Performance Gymnastics’ may be an important source for all people who are engaged in gymnastics (i.e., researchers, coaches, judges, gymnasts).
