Abstract
Today, long-term athlete development programs are used as an alternative to traditional athlete training programs. They aim to make sport as a lifestyle, rather than compressing athlete development into a short period of time. In long-term athlete development programs, all processes are planned on the basis of the biological development periods of the athletes and their development characteristics in these periods, rather than their chronological age, which is taken as the basis in traditional athlete development methods. Sports branches are divided into two as early specialization and late specialization sports. Gymnastics requires skill, coordination, and a developed central nervous system; thus, it is categorized among the early specialization sports.
