Abstract des Autors

This chapter focuses on psychological aspects of high-performance gymnastics. It is stated that the diverse observable behaviors in gymnastics result from the interplay of a person acting in a particular environment with regard to specific task demands. From this point of view, the general intention of gymnastics psychology is to optimize individual gymnasts' person-task-environment fit for the attainment of peak performance. In light of this intention, psychological influences and performance-related demands as well as coaching and intervention strategies are discussed and subjected to applicable procedures for coaches, gymnasts, and scientists.
