  Blending cutting-edge science with gripping storytelling, award-winning data journalist and competitive amateur athlete Henry Abbott reveals that we are on the cusp of a new era in sports medicine, built around the science of ballistic movements—leaping and landing—and the unique fingerprint of your body's physics. 
   
   
   
  Abbott's inspiring narrative tells the story of sports scientist Dr. Marcus Elliott and the Peak Performance Project (P3), who use technology to study how athletes move and why they get hurt. Applying machine learning and lessons from biomechanics, medicine, and physiology, doctors at P3 can now detect elevated risk of an ACL tear or a pulled hamstring like an echocardiogram can see warning signs of a heart attack. 
   
   
   
  Through riveting stories of elite athletes overcoming injuries and pushing themselves to the limit, Abbott presents an evidence-based case for intervening early to protect our bodies. And he suggests that we can all harness the science of ballistic movement not just to run fast or jump high but to move with joy and lead fulfilling athletic lives.

  Gymnastics is a sport that combines strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination. It has been a part of human culture for centuries, evolving from ancient Greek practices to the dynamic, highly specialized sport we know today. This chapter serves as an introduction to gymnastics, exploring its history, the different types of gymnastics, and the benefits it offers both physically and mentally. 
  The origins of gymnastics date back to ancient Greece, where it was practiced as a form of physical education and training for soldiers. It later evolved into a competitive sport with the introduction of modern gymnastics in the late 19th century. The sport gained widespread popularity, especially with the inclusion of gymnastics in the Olympic Games. Today, gymnastics includes disciplines such as artistic, rhythmic, and trampoline gymnastics, each with its own unique set of skills and techniques. Artistic gymnastics is the most well-known, featuring apparatus such as the floor, vault, uneven bars, and balance beam. Rhythmic gymnastics involves performing routines with props like ribbons and hoops, while trampoline gymnastics focuses on acrobatics performed on a trampoline. 
  Gymnastics is not only a sport of athleticism but also one that nurtures mental strength and discipline. It requires a high level of concentration, focus, and determination, which are essential in both training and competition. The process of learning gymnastics helps build resilience, as athletes often face challenges and setbacks before mastering a skill. The sport teaches the value of hard work, dedication, and perseverance, all while providing a platform for self-expression through movement.
