What is Gymnastics?

Gymnastics is a sport involving the performance of exercises requiring balance, strength, flexibility, agility, coordination, and endurance. The movements involved in gymnastics contribute to the development of the arms, legs, shoulders, back, chest, and abdominal muscle groups. Attention to detail and continuous practice are critical to success in gymnastics.

Do I Need Travel Insurance for Gymnastics?

Yes. Gymnastics can result in injuries due to falls, equipment malfunctions, or during complex maneuvers. If you’re traveling abroad for competitions or training camps, travel insurance helps protect you against medical expenses, lost equipment, and trip cancellations.
