Abstract

High performance in gymnastics requires influencing factors to optimize it. This study aims to reveal the secret of high performance in gymnastics through anthropometric and memory assessments. The method used in this research is correlational with sampling using a purposive sampling technique with a total of 30 athletes (17 female athletes and 13 male athletes- 19.61 ± 3.43 years) who are members of the Bandung city gymnastics club. The instruments used in this study were anthropometric measurement tests (height, weight, body mass index, upper arm circumference, and abdominal circumference) and memory measurement tests (Digit Span Test) as well as the jury^s assessment of gymnastic performance. The results of this study found a significant relationship between anthropometry and memory with gymnastic performance. This research provides valuable insights for trainers, athletes and gymnastics practitioners and has the potential to make a significant contribution to the development of gymnastics.
