Gymnastics is a sport that requires balance, strength, flexibility, agility, coordination, and endurance. The movements involved in gymnastics contribute to the development of groups of arms, legs, shoulders, back, chest and abdominal muscles. Awareness, precision, courage, self-confidence and self-discipline are mental properties that can also be developed through gymnastics. Gymnastics evolved from exercises used by the ancient Greeks that included the skills to mount and lower horses, and from the circus performing skills.
Most of the forms of competitive gymnastics events are regulated by FÃÆ' Â © dation Internationale de Gymnastique (Figure). Each country has its own national government agency (BIW) affiliated with FIG. The competitive artistic gym is the best known of the gymnastics event. This usually involves women's events from safes, uneven bars, balance beams and floor exercises as well as men's events from floor exercises, horse pounding, silent rings, safes, parallel bars and horizontal bars.
Other FIGs include rhythmic exercise, trampoline and tumbling exercises, acrobatic gymnastics, aerobics and parkour exercises. Disciplines currently not recognized by FIG include wheel gymnastics, aesthetic group gymnastics, male rhythmic gymnastics, TeamGym and mallakhamba. Participants can include young children as young as 20 months doing cheering and gymnastics, leisure gymnasts aged 3 and above, competitive gymnasts with varying skill levels, and world-class athletes.

Etimologi
Gymnastics The word comes from the common Greek adjective ( gymnos ), by means of the corresponding verbs ?? ????? ( gymnazo ), whose meaning is "bare buggy", "train in gymnastics", generally "to train, to practice". Verbs have this meaning, because athletes in ancient times performed and competed without clothing. It began to be used in the 1570s, from gymnasticus Latin, from Greek gymnastikos "like or skilled in physical exercises," from gymnazein "to practice or train" (see gymnasium).

History
Gymnastics developed in ancient Greece, in Sparta and Athens, and used as a method to prepare men for battle. In Sparta, among the activities introduced into the training program is Agoge gymnastics or an exhibition consisting of elements of gymnastics in the form of Pyrrhic-a dance in military style performed for state officials in the final year of a student's training. The maneuver is done naked except for war tools. Athena combines this physical exercise with the education of the mind. In Palestine, a physical education training center, the discipline of body rearing and mind counseling enable a more aesthetic and individualized form of exercise and leave a form that focuses on tightness, discipline, emphasis on beating records, and focus on strength.
At the end of the eighteenth and early 19th century Germany, two pioneering physical educators - Johann Friedrich GutsMuths (1759-1839) and Friedrich Ludwig Jahn (1778-1852) - created exercises for boys and young men on equipment that had they design that ultimately lead to what is considered modern gymnastics. Don Francisco Amora y Ondeano, born on February 19, 1770 in Valencia and died on August 8, 1848 in Paris. He is a Spanish colonel, and the first person to introduce educational gymnastics in France. Jahn promotes the use of bars, rings and parallel high bars in international competitions.
The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) was founded in Liege in 1881. By the end of the nineteenth century, male gymnastics competitions were popular enough to be included in the first "modern" Olympic Games in 1896. From that time until the early 1950s. , both national and international competitions involve various exercises gathered under rubric, gymnastics, including for example, teams harmonized on the gym floor, climbing ropes, high jumping, running, and horizontal staircases. During the 1920s, women organized and participated in gymnastics events. The first female Olympic competition is primitive, involving only calisthenics and synchronized track and field. These games were held in 1928, in Amsterdam.
In 1954, the Olympic apparatus and events for both men and women were standardized in a modern format, and a uniform assessment structure (including a point system from 1 to 15) was approved. At this time, Soviet gymnasts shock the world with a very disciplined and difficult show, setting a precedent that continues. Television has helped publish and launch modern-day gymnastics. Both male and female gymnastics are now attracting international attention, and excellent gymnasts can be found on every continent.
In 2006, a new point system for artistic gymnastics was played. With A Score (or D score) is a difficulty score, which in 2009 is based on the top 8 scoring elements in the routine (excluding Vault). Score B (or E Score), is a score for execution, and is given for how well the skills are performed.
FIG-recognized discipline
The following discipline is governed by Fig.
Artistic Gymnastics
Artistic Gymnastics is usually divided into Male and Female Gymnastics. The men compete on six occasions: Floor Training, Pommel Horse, Still Rings, Vault, Parallel Bar, and Horizontal Bar, while women compete in four: Vault, Bar Uneven, Balancing Balance, and Floor Exercises. In some countries, women at one time competed on rings, tall bars, and parallel bars (for example, in the 1950s in the Soviet Union).
In 2006, FIG introduced a new point system for Artistic gymnastics in which the score is no longer limited to 10 points. This system is used in the US for elite level competitions. Unlike old point codes, there are two separate values, execution scores and difficulty scores. In the previous system, "execution score" was the only value. That and still out of 10.00, except for a short exercise. During the gymnast's performance, the judges reduced this score alone. Falling, or turning off the show, is a 1.00 cut, at the gymnastics elite level. The introduction of difficulty scores is a significant change. The gymnast's difficulty score is based on what elements they do and can change if they do not perform or complete all skills, or they do not link skills that are meant to connect with others. The connection bonus is where the irregularities occur most commonly between the intended and actual difficulty score, as it can be difficult to connect multiple flight elements. It is very difficult to connect skills if the first skill is not done properly. New points codes allow gymnasts to score higher based on their skill difficulties as well as their execution. There is no maximum score for difficulty, as it can continue to increase as skills difficulties increase.
Artistic events for women
Vault
In dome events, the gymnasts run on a 25-meter (82-foot) runway, jump into stepping stones (or take a leap or squat into a jump), landing briefly in hand on a domed horse or vault table (before the flight segment) then push yourself forward or back from the platform to a two foot landing (post-flight segment). Each gymnast starts at a different point on the runway depending on their height and strength. The post-flight segment may include one or more salto movements, somersaults, or plays. A round entry inlet, called Yurchenko, is the most common safes at higher levels in gymnastics. When performing Yurchenko, gymnasts "rounded up their hands" so that their hands were on the runway while their feet landed on a stepping stone. From the roundoff position, the gymnast moves backward and backhandpring so that the hand lands on the dome table. The gymnast then closes the dome platform to various combinations of twisting and/or somersaults. The post-flight segment brought the gymnast to his feet. At a lower gymnastics level, the gymnasts do not perform this movement. The gymnast will jump on a stepping stone with both legs at the same time and do the front handspring to the vault or round to the vault.
In 2001, traditional horse domes were replaced with new equipment, sometimes known as tongues, horses, or dome tables. The new apparatus is more stable, wider, and longer than the older riding horses, about 1 m long and 1 m wide, giving the gym a much larger blocking surface. This equipment is considered safer than the dome horse used in the past. With the addition of a new secure dome table, the gymnasts are trying a more difficult and dangerous safe.
Uneven bars
In an uneven bar, the gymnast performs a timed routine on two parallel horizontal bars set at different heights. This bar is made of fiberglass laminated with wood, to prevent it from breaking. In the past, bars were made of wood, but the bars were easily broken, providing an incentive to move on to newer technologies. The width and height of the bar can be adjusted to the size required by individual gymnasts. In the past, parallel rods were not parallel to each other. The trunks have been moved farther apart, allowing gymnasts to do swinging, spinning, transitioning, and releasing moves that may pass through, below, and between the two bars. At the Elite level, the movement must pass through the handstand. Gymnasts often install uneven bars using springboard or small mats. Lime (MgCO 3 ) and grips (leather strips with finger holes to protect hands and improve performance) can be used by gymnasts who perform this event. Lime helps take moisture from the hands of a gymnast to reduce friction and prevent tears (tears to the skin of the hand); Dowel's grip helps the gymnast grasp the bar.
Balancing balance
The gymnast performs a routine choreography of up to 90 seconds in length consisting of jumps, acrobatic skill, cartwheels, bends and dance elements on a padded beam. The file is 125 cm (4 ft 1 inch) from the ground, length of 500 cm (16 feet 5 inches), and a width of 10 centimeters (3.9 inches). This stationary object can also be adjusted, to be raised higher or lower. This event requires balance, flexibility, elegance, serenity, and strength.
Floor
Events in gymnastics performed on the floor are called floor exercises. The English abbreviation for the event in gymnastics scores is FX. In the past, floor exercises were held on the floor or mats like wrestling mats. Floor events now occur on carpet 12m ÃÆ' 12m square, usually consisting of hard foam over layers of plywood, supported by springs commonly called "spring" floors. It provides a strong surface that gives extra reflections or springs when compressed, enabling the gymnast to reach higher heights and a softer landing after the skill is made. The gymnast performs choreographing routines up to 90 seconds on a floor exercise event; Depending on the level, they can choose their own, or, if known as "obligatory gymnast", the default music must be played. The 3-6 level of music is the same for each level along with the skills in the routine. However, recently, the levels have switched. Now, the 7-11 level is an optional level and they get custom routines made. At the optional level (level six to ten) there is a skill requirement for the routine but the athlete can choose his own music without words. The routine should consist of a tumbling pass, a series of jumps, jumps, dance elements, acrobatic skill, and spin, or pivot, with one leg. A gymnast can perform up to four jumps that normally include at least one flight element without hand support. Each level of gymnastics requires the athlete to perform a number of different running moves. At level 7 in the United States, a gymnast should do 2-3, and at level 8-10, at least 3-4 ups are required.
Artistic events for men
Floor
Male gymnasts also perform on the spring floor 12meter x 12meter. A series of tumbling passes are performed to show flexibility, strength, and balance. Power skills include circle, scale, and handstand press. The men's floor routine usually has many tracks that should total between 60-70 seconds and be done without music, unlike women's shows. The rules require male gymnasts to touch every corner of the floor at least once during their routine.
Pommel horse
A typical hitting hitting exercise involves both single legs and double footwork. Single foot skill is commonly found in the form of scissors, an element often performed on pellels. The work of double feet, however, is the main point of this event. The gymnast swings both legs in a circular motion (clockwise or counterclockwise depending on preference) and performs these skills in all parts of the equipment. To make the exercise more challenging, gymnastics will often include variations on typical circular skills by turning (moores and spindles) or by straddling their feet (Flare). The routine ends when the gymnast does the decline, either by swinging his body on a horse, or landing after handstand variations.
Still rings
The ring is suspended on the wire from 5.75 meters from the floor. The gymnast must perform a routine that shows balance, strength, strength, and dynamic movement while preventing the ring from swinging. At least one static force movement is required, but some gymnasts may include two or three. A routine ends down.
Vault
The gymnasts run on the runway, which is a maximum of 25 meters long, before running to the springboard. Gymnasts are allowed to choose where they start on the runway. The position of the body is maintained when "punching" (blocking only using the shoulder movement) platform is curved. The gymnast then spun to a standing position. In advanced gymnastics, a few twists and turns can be added before landing. Successful domes depend on running speed, obstacle length, the power the gymnasts generate from the feet and shoulders of the bodice, the kinesthetic awareness in the air, how well they plug the landing and rotation speed in more complex and complicated cases.
Parallel bars
Men performing in two bars execute a series of swings, balances, and releases that require tremendous strength and coordination. The width between the adjustable bars depends on the actual needs of the gymnast and is usually 2m high.
Horizontal bar
A 2.8 cm thick steel or fiberglass bar lifting 2.5 m above the landing area is all gymnasts should hold while he is doing a giant swing or giant (revolution forward or backward around the bar in the position handstand) , releasing skills, twists, and changes in direction. Using all the momentum from the giant and then releasing at the right point, high enough can be achieved for spectacular results, such as triple-back salto. The grip of the skin is usually used to help maintain the handle in the bar.
Like women, male gymnasts are also rated on all of their events including their execution, difficulty levels, and overall presentation skills.
Scoring (point code)
A gymnast's score comes from a piece taken from their starting point. The initial value of a routine is based on the difficulty of the elements performed by the gymnast and whether the gymnast meets the composition requirements or not. Different composition requirements for each equipment; This score is called the D score. The reduction in execution and art is taken from a maximum of 10.0. This score is called the E score. The final score is calculated by taking a snippet from the E score, and adding the result to a D score. Since 2007, the scoring system has changed by adding bonus plus execution and then adding both together to get the final score.
Landing
In falling, down or dome, landing is the last phase, after takeoff and flying This is an important skill in terms of execution in competition scores, general performance, and injury incidence. Without the amount of energy dissipation required during a collision, the risk of a persistent injury during an upside-down increase. These injuries usually occur in the lower extremities such as: cartilage lesions, ligament tears, and bruises/bone fractures. To avoid such injuries, and to receive high performance scores, the proper technique should be used by gymnasts. "Subsequent ground contact or impact landing phases should be achieved using safe, aesthetic, and well-executed double-foot landing." Successful landing in gymnastics is classified as soft, which means the knee and hip joints are at a flexion level over 63 degrees.
The higher flight phase produces a higher vertical soil reaction force. The vertical soil reaction force represents the external forces that gymnasts must overcome by their muscle strength and affect the linear momentum and the angle of the gymnasts'. Another important variable that affects linear momentum and angle is the time required by the landing. The gymnast can reduce the strength of the impact by increasing the time it takes to land. The gymnast can achieve this by increasing the pelvis, knee and amplitude ankle.
Rhythmic gymnastics
According to FIG rules, only women compete in rhythmic gymnastics. This is a sport that combines elements of ballet, gymnastics, dance, and the manipulation of the apparatus. This sport involves the performance of five separate routines with the use of five tools; balls, ribbons, circles, clubs, ropes - on the floor area, with a much greater emphasis on aesthetics than acrobatics. There is also a group routine consisting of 5 gymnasts and 5 apparatus of their choice. The routine rhythm is scored from a possible 30 points; scores for art (choreography and music) are averaged with scores for difficulty moving and then added to scores for execution.
The international competition is divided between Juniors, under the age of sixteen from the year of their birth; and Elderly, for women sixteen and over the year of their birth. Gymnasts in Russia and Europe usually begin training at a very young age and those who are at their peak are usually late in adolescence (15-19) or early twenties. The biggest events in the sport are the Olympics, World Championships, European Championships, World Cups and Grand Prix Series. The first World Championships were held in 1963 with his first appearance at the Olympics in 1984.
Rhythmic gymnastics
- Ball
- This is made of rubber or synthetic material (plastic bending) provided it has the same elasticity as rubber. It is 18 to 20 cm in diameter and must have a minimum weight of 400g. The ball can be any color and should be placed in the hands of gymnasts, not on the wrist. The basic elements of a ball include throwing, bouncing, and rolling. The gymnast should use both hands and work across the floor while showing continuous flow. The ball is to emphasize the lines that the gymnasts are flowing and the difficulty of the body.
- Hoop
- The circle is a tool in rhythmic gymnastics and can be made of plastic or wood, provided it retains its shape during routine. The interior diameter is 51-90 cm, and the circle must weigh at least 300g. The circle may have a natural or partial color completely enclosed by one or several colors, and may be covered with adhesive tape of either the same or different colors as circles. The fundamental requirements of a hoop routine include rotation around the hand or body and rolling, as well as swings, circles, throws, and passes and passes circles. Circumcision routines involve mastery in handling equipment and body difficulties such as jumps, jumps and pivots.
- Ribbon
- It is made of satin or other fabric material that is similar to any color and may be colorful and has a design on it. The band itself shall be at least 35g (1oz), 4-6cm (1.6-2.4 ") in width and for the senior category a minimum length of 6m (20 ') (5m (16.25') for junior). must be intact.The tip attached to the stick is doubled for a maximum length of 1m (3 ').This is sewn on both sides.At the top, a very thin amplifier or machine stitch line for a maximum length of 5 cm is allowed, this extremity may end in a rope, or has a hole (small hole, edged with buttonhole or metal circle), to allow attach the ribbon The ribbon is mounted on the stick by using a flexible attachment such as yarn, nylon rope, or an articulated ring ring, which has a maximum length of 7 cm (2, 8 inches), excluding metal ropes or rings at ends of rods to be tied Compulsory elements for tapes including films, circles, snakes and spirals, and throws High coordination is required to form spirals and circles as every possible node accidentally formed in the punished band. During the ribbon routine, large, smooth, and flowing movements are sought.
- Club
- Multi-piece club is the most popular club. The club is built along an internal rod, providing the base on which the handle is made of polyolefin plastic wrapped, providing an air space between it and the internal trunk. This air space provides a flexible cushioning effect, making the club softer in hand. Foam ends and buttons further protect the club. Multi-piece clubs are made in thinner European style or larger American style and in various sizes, generally ranging from 19 to 21 inches (480 to 530 mm). The grip and the body are usually wrapped with plastic and decorative ribbons. The skills involved are the mastery of the apparatus and body elements, the Club is thrown from the alternative hands; each passing under other clubs and caught in the hands opposite to the one from which he was thrown. At its simplest, every club rotates once per throw, its grip moves down and away from the throw of the hand at first. However, double and triple spins are often done, allowing the club to be thrown higher for more advanced patterns and to allow tricks like 360 ​​undertaken underneath.
Trampolining and tumbling
Trampolining
Trampolining and tumbling consists of four events, individual and synchronized trampolines, dual mini trampolines, and tumbling (also known as electric winds or stem floors). Since 2000, individual trampolines have been included in the Olympics. The first World Championships were held in 1964.
Individual trampoline
The individual routine in trampolining involves a build-up phase in which the gymnast jumps repeatedly to reach the altitude, followed by a sequence of ten reflections without pause during which the gymnast performs a sequence of aerial skills. The routine is marked out of a maximum score of 10 points. Additional points (without maximum at the highest level of competition) can be obtained depending on the difficulty of movement and the length of time required to complete ten skills which is indicative of the average height of the jump. In high-level competition, there are two preliminary routines, one that has only two moves printed for trouble and one where the athlete is free to perform any routine. This is followed by an optional final routine. Some competitions resume scores from scratch for the final, others add a final score to the initial result.
Synced trampolines
The synchronization of the trampoline is similar except that both competitors must perform a joint routine and a mark is given for synchronization as well as the shape and difficulty of moving.
Mini-double trampoline
Double mini trampoline involves smaller trampoline with run-up, two scoring motions are performed per routine. Moves can not be repeated in the same order on the double-mini during the competition. Skills can be repeated if a skill competes as a climber in one routine and down on another. Scores are marked in a manner similar to an individual trampoline.
Tumbling
In the struggle, athletes perform a series of explosive flips and twist down the popping tracks popping up. Scoring is similar to trampolining. Tumbling was initially contested as one of the shows at Men's Artistic Gymnastics at the 1932 Summer Olympics, and in 1955 and 1959 at the Pan American Games. From 1974 to 1998 it was included as an event for both sexes at the World Gymnastics Acrobatic Championships. The event has also been contested since 1976 in the Trampoline World Championships. Since the recognition of Trampoline and Gymnastics Acrobatics as FIG discipline in 1999, the official Tumbling competition is only allowed as an event in Trampoline gymnastics meetings.
Acrobatic Gymnastics
Acrobatic gymnastics (formerly Sports Acrobat), often referred to as "Acro" if involved with sports, acrobatic or acro sports, is a group gymnastics discipline for men and women. Acrobats in groups of two, three, and four perform routines with the head, arms, and legs of their partners. They may, subject to rules (eg no lyrics), choose their own music.
There are four categories of international age: 11-16, 12-18, 13-19, and Senior (15), used in the World Championships and many other events around the world, including the European Championships and World Matches. All levels require balance and dynamic routines; 12-18, 13-19, and Seniors are also required to perform a final (combined) routine.
Currently, acrobatic gymnasts are marked from 30.00 (can be higher at Senior FIG level by difficulty):
- 10.00 for routine difficulty (appreciated from the difficulty list)
- 10.00 for technical performance (how well skills are run)
- 10.00 for art (the overall performance of the routine, which is choreography)
Events consist of:
- Female Couple
- Mixed Partners
- Male Partner
- Women's Group 3
- Male Group 4
Most of the competition requires balance and dynamic routines for each event, although some will do one mixed event.
World Championships have been held since 1974.
Aerobic gymnastics
Aerobic aerobics (formally Sport Aerobics) involves routine performance by individuals, couples, trio or groups of up to 6 people, emphasizing strength, flexibility, and aerobic fitness rather than acrobatic or balance skills. The routine is done for all individuals on the 7x7m floor and also for triads 12-14 and 15-17 and mixed couples. Beginning in 2009, all the senior trio and mixed couples must be on the bigger floor (10x10m), all the groups are also performing on this floor. Routines generally last 60-90 seconds depending on the age of the participants and the routine category. The World Championships have been held since 1995.
Events consist of:
- Individual Women
- Individual Men
- Mixed Partners
- Trio
- Groups
- Dancing
- Steps
Parkour
On January 28, 2018, Parkour was given the opportunity to begin development as a FIG sport. The FIG plans to run the World Cup competition from 2018 onwards and will hold the first Parkour World Championships in 2020.
Events consist of:
- Speedrun
- Freestyle
Other disciplines
The following discipline is not currently recognized by the FÃÆ' Â © dation Internationale de Gymnastique.
Gymnastics aesthetic group
Aesthetic Group Gymnastics (AGG) was developed from "naisvoimistelu" Finland. This is different from Rymphic Gymnastics in large and sustained body movements and larger teams. Athletes do not use equipment in the international AGG competition compared to Rhythmic Gymnastics where balls, ribbons, circles and sticks are used in the floor area. This sport requires physical qualities such as flexibility, balance, speed, strength, coordination and sense of rhythm in which body movements are emphasized through flow, expression and aesthetic appeal. Good performance is characterized by uniformity and uniformity. The competition program consists of versatile and varied body movements, such as body waves, swings, balance, pivot, leaps and jumps, dance steps, and lifts. The International Aesthetic Federation of Gymnastics Group (IFAGG) was founded in 2003. The first Aesthetic Group Gymnastics Championships were held in 2000.
Male rhythmic gymnastics
Men's rhythmic gymnastics is related to artistic men's gymnastics and wushu martial arts. It appeared in Japan from a stick gym. Sticker rifle has been taught and performed for years with the aim of improving physical strength and health. Male athletes are judged on several physical abilities and skills similar to their female counterparts, such as hand/eye-eye coordination, but rolling ability, strength, strength, and martial arts are the main focus, compared to flexibility and dance in rhythmic gymnastics woman. There are more and more participants, competing on their own and in one team; this is most popular in Asia, especially in Japan where high school teams and universities compete fiercely. In 2002, there were 1000 male rhythm gymnasts in Japan.
The technical rules for Japanese rhythmic gymnastics came around the 1970s. For individuals, only four types of tools are used: double rings, rods, ropes, and clubs. Group does not use any equipment. The Japanese version includes tumbling done on the spring floor. Points are awarded on a 10-point scale that measures the difficulty level of tumbling and apparatus handling. On November 27-29, 2003, Japan hosted the first edition of the Men's Rifle Gymnastics World Championships.
Events consist of:
- Stick
- Clubs
- Strap
- Double Ring
- Groups
TeamGym
TeamGym is a form of competition created by EU Gymnastics, named initially EuroTeam . The first official competition was held in Finland in 1996. The TeamGym event consists of three parts: women, men and mixed teams. Athletes compete in three different disciplines: floor, fall and trampet. In general for performance is an effective teamwork, good technique in spectacular acrobatic elements and skills. There is no World Championship but there has been a European Championship held since 2010.
Wheelplay
The wheel enthusiasts do the exercises in big wheels known as RhÃÆ'¶nrad , wheel gymnastic , sports wheel , or German wheel , initially also known as ayro wheel , aero wheel , and Rhon rod .
There are four core categories of practice: straight line, spiral, dome, and cyr wheel. The first World Championships were held in 1995.
Mallakhamba
Mallakhamba (Marathi: ????????) is a traditional Indian sport where a gymnast performs a feat and pose in concert with a vertical mast or rope. The word also refers to the pole used in sports.
Mallakhamba is derived from the term malla which shows wrestlers and khamba which means pole. Therefore Mallakhamba can be translated into English as "gym pole". On April 9, 2013, the state of Madhya Pradesh in India declared mallakhamba a state sport.
Non-competitive Gymnastic
General gymnastics allows people of all ages and the ability to participate in a performance group of 6 to more than 150 athletes. They synchronize, choreographic routines. Troupes can consist of both sexes and are not separated into the age division. The largest public gymnastics exhibition was the first Quadrennial World Gymnaestrada to be held in 1939. In 1984, Gymnastics for All was officially recognized first as the Sports Program by FIG (International Gymnastic Federation), and later by national gymnastics federations around the world with current participants number 30 million.
Former apparatus and events
Rope (rhythmic gymnastics)
This equipment can be made of hemp or synthetic material that retains lightweight quality and elasticity. The length is proportional to the size of the gymnast. The strap should, when pressed by the foot, reach both gymnasts' armpits. One or two knots at each end is to hold the rope while performing the routine. At its end (to the exclusion of all other parts of the rope) the anti-slip material, whether colored or neutral can cover a maximum of 10 cm (3.94 inches). The rope should be colored, either wholly or partially and may be uniform or thicker in diameter as long as this thickening is of the same material as the rope. The basic requirements of a rope routine include jumps and skipping. Other elements include swings, throws, circles, rotations and numbers eight. In 2011, FIG decided to cancel the use of ropes in rhythmic gymnastics competitions.
Climb the rope
Generally, competitors ride either 6m (6.1m = 20Ã, ft in the US) or 8m (7.6m = 25Ã, ft in the US), 38 mm mm in diameter (1.5-inch) natural fiber ropes for speed, ranging from sitting positions on the floor and use only hands and arms. Kicking a leg with some sort of "step" is usually allowed. Many gymnasts can do this in straddle or pike positions, which eliminates the help generated from the foot though it can be done with the feet as well.
Fly ring
The flying ring is an event similar to a silent ring, but with a player performing a series of actions while swinging. It was a gymnastic event approved by the NCAA and AAU until the early 1960s.
Club spinging
Club Swinging a.k.a. The Indian Club is an event in Men's Artistic Gymnastics which is sometimes until the 1950s. It's similar to clubs in both Gymnastics and Women's Rhythm but it's much simpler with a few throws allowed. That's an exercise. It competed in the Summer Olympics of 1904 and 1932.

Health and safety
Gymnastics is one of the most dangerous sports, with very high injury rates seen in girls aged 11 to 18 years. Compared to athletes who play other sports, gymnasts have a higher risk of injury and injuries than the average caused by early sports specializations among children. and teenagers. The gymnast is at risk for certain leg and wrist injuries.
Gymnasts tend to have short stature, but it is unlikely that sport affects their growth. The gymnast's parents tend to be also shorter than average.
