Gymnastics is a competitive sport that tests strength, rhythm, balance, flexibility and agility. There are three major forms: rhythmic gymnastics, artistic gymnastics, and trampoline. Rhythmic gymnastics is only for females while artistic and trampoline are for both males and females. Gymnastics originated from ancient civilizations and has evolved over time with contributions from many individuals around the world, including the development of apparatuses and the introduction of gymnastics into school curriculums and competitions.
Gymnastics is a sport that requires flexibility, balance, and control. It involves performing exercises on equipment like the vault, uneven bars, balance beam, floor, pommel horse, rings and parallel bars for men and rhythmic gymnastics apparatuses for women. Gymnastics has evolved from ancient Greek exercises and circus skills and includes competitive gymnastics at all levels as well as recreational and performance gymnastics. The modern sport has standardized apparatus and scoring systems.
There are three main types of gymnastics: women's artistic gymnastics, men's artistic gymnastics, and rhythmic gymnastics. Women's artistic gymnastics has the most participants and is featured in the Olympics, with athletes competing on vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise. Men's artistic gymnastics is the second most popular in the US and oldest form, with athletes competing on floor, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars, and high bar. Rhythmic gymnastics involves performances with different apparatus like rope, hoop, ball, clubs, and ribbon.
Gymnastics has its origins in early civilizations as a system of exercises, stunts, and skills involving swinging, balancing, climbing and turning. The Germans were major contributors to developing the modern gymnastics program. Gymnastics became an Olympic sport in 1896 for men and 1928 for women. In the Philippines, gymnastics was introduced through conditioning exercises and dancing, later becoming a competitive sport. The first Philippine gymnastics team competed in the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo. The objectives of gymnastics include developing coordination, correcting posture, maintaining health, and learning life-long conditioning exercises.
The document outlines 5 types of gymnastics: general gymnastics, artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, aerobic gymnastics, acrobatic gymnastics, and trampoline gymnastics. General gymnastics involves groups performing synchronized choreography. Artistic gymnastics involves high-speed body movements and can include male and female gymnasts. Rhythmic gymnastics combines dance, gymnastics, and the use of equipment like balls and ropes performed to music individually or in groups.
Gymnastics stunts can be individual, dual, or group activities. Individual stunts like the turk stand, rocking chair, and prone rocking test flexibility, balance, and strength. Dual stunts such as the wheelbarrow and knee stand involve two people. Group stunts include pyramids with multiple flyers and bases. Common individual stunts are described in detail, along with dual stunts like the handstand and group stunts including the full elevator and liberties. Stunts build skills and can be used for conditioning exercises or gymnastic introductions.
Gymnastics is a sport that was invented in the 1700s by Friedrich Jahn and involves performing stunts, tricks and routines on large equipment like bars, beams, vaults and floors in gymnasiums around the world. To be a gymnast requires being very flexible and gymnastics involves skills performed on bars, beams, vaults and floors using equipment like pits, harnesses and mats for protection.
