WHAT I HAVE LEARNED IN THIS SESSION

Gymnastic is a type of exercise in which there is physical coordination of different body parts. This
is mostly done on floors, bars, rings, pommel and vaulting horse. This can be also referred as
acrobatics. They are very much similar. The gymnasts do this sport on various props.

They leap, turn, stand, handstand and flip on the various props. There are different forms of
gymnastics. These may be artistic, rhythmic, trampoline, tumbling, acrobatics and even group ones.
In artistic gymnastics the participants perform gymnastics and compete on rings and parallel or
uneven bars.

While in rhythmic gymnastics perform on the floor but they use hoops, ropes, ribbons and many
other properties. In the trampoline gymnastics, participants flip whenever they bounce on the
trampoline.

If a person is asked anything about gymnastics, they will answer usually the artistic and rhythmic
gymnastics. There are separate gymnastics for both men and women. One can see variety of
gymnastic events during Olympics which is organized once in every four years. Except Olympics
there are other various Championships of gymnastics as well.

Gymnastics has gained a lot of popularity today. Except the adults we can see even children doing
gymnastics these days. Gymnastics was first seen among the Greeks. After the Greeks this was seen
among the Romans as well. Centuries when Olympics was prohibited and the Roman army was
destroyed, gymnastics did not exist anymore. The Greeks introduced this sport in 5th century B.C.

Gymnastics improved their muscles and hands coordination. Slowly with the passing of time
gymnastics became compulsory for the students in Greece. Gymnastics was into the light again in
the sixteenth century. Gymnastics looks very easy and eye appealing to watch. But it is very difficult
and challenging. It requires a lot of hard work, practice and dedication for the sport. When children
start watching gymnastics, some of them wish they would also become some famous gymnastics in
the future.
