Carbohydrates are essential for a gymnast's energy level. This macronutrient is stored in the muscles as glycogen, which is used to power through workouts and meets. Gymnastics coach Don Peters says complex carbohydrates should make up 60 percent of a gymnast's diet. According to USA Gymnastics, fat also needs to be part of a healthy diet. However, limit saturated fat to less than 7 percent of your daily calories, and total fat to 20 percent or less. Your final 20 percent should be protein, as it repairs tissue and muscle damage caused by workouts.

1.) The increase of technology in the sport of gymnastics has changed the way many people can view the sport. The change and development with technology has forced the scoring and judging system in gymnastics to change, the new system is confusing for spectators and for non-regualr viewers of the sport to understand. Instead of a simple score out of 10, the new scoring system goes much higher and is much harder to understand.
2.) Technology has made the sport of gymnastics impossible to reach a perfect or near perfect score in competition. In gymnastics, a judges first opinion on what should be deducted or what shouldn't be deducted can easily be changed once they have re-watched the skills/routines over and over again on special devices that allow them to view footage from different angles and speed. An example of this kind of negative impact can be seen in the video below.
3.) Another negative impact from technology being used in the sport of gymnastics is that the sport has become more expensive to participate in. The technology that is used within the sport of gymnastics has forced gymnastics into being much more expensive then what it use to be. The constant development of technology in the equipment, uniforms and accessories used by gymnast has made the sport more expensive for the gymnast and their families. The cost to go watch a gymnastics competition live is also now more expensive due to the coasting and running of technology at these events.
