Artistic gymnastics is the most famous and widespread gymnastics sport discipline, and rings are one of the six apparatus of men's gymnastics all-around. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of the upper extremities` strength on success in performing exercises on rings of young gymnasts. The sample consisted of 13 male gymnasts, aged 14 to 16, who practice gymnastics from 8 to 13 years. The Japanese digital dynamometer IMADAZ2H-1100 with WinWedge 3.4 software was used to estimate the absolute strength of the upper extremities muscles. The values displayed on the digital meter represent the absolute value of the maximum strength. When the absolute value of the strength was divided by the body mass of the participant, relative values were obtained. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that absolute and relative strength of the upper extremities do not have a decisive statistically significant influence on success in performing exercises on rings of young gymnasts. The obtained results represents a good starting point for further research in which the influence of other muscle regions that are responsible for the successful performing of exercises on other gymnastic apparatus in all-around, on a larger sample and different ages, could be examined.
