Gymnastics

You learn how to do cartwheels and handstands properly on floor, handstands and jumps on beam, pullovers and back hip circles on bars, and dive rolls on vault off of a spring board. Basically that's it.

Newton's 2nd law has to do an enormous amount with gymnastics. The force needed to do certain things has to do a lot with your movements. Tumbling in gymnastics uses a lot of force. But the height of your tumbling has to do with the amount of force you use.

Example: If I'm doing a round-off back handspring back-tuck and i want it to be really high. Then i am going to need to put alot of force into the ground after my back-handspring so that i can get the height that i want.

it depends on where you are. where i live (northbrook, Illinois) our YMCA did have a cheer team (i was on it.) as one of their directors.

Yes, they can. I am big and I am a level 9. It is a sport that you have to be strong and flexible in, but it is very fun. You just have to work hard and stretch and do things to make you stronger. If people make fun you because they think that because your fat, you can't do something, prove them wrong. Bigger people are fully capable of doing gymnastics.

Mary Lou Retton was the first female gymnast from outside Eastern Europe to win the Olympic all-around title. Another gymnastic contributor is Bart Wayne Conner who won gold at every level of competition including collegiate, national, and international.

A trampoline is a gymnastic and recreational device consisting of a piece of taut, strong fabric stretched over a steel frame using many coiled springs to provide a rebounding force which propels the jumper high into the air.

pommel horse and rings and high bar so there's three there bar is just a skinny rail and it's alot skinnier than the womens' uneven parralel bars are.

If your not putting all of your effort into it, it can be quite difficult. After you've got the hang of it though, it's incredibly easy.

It is also a lot easier to do a back handspring after a round off. Standing back handsprings require a lot of leg power.

She was a gymnast, but was only good at floor.

You cant swim before a Gymnastics Meet because you get water in your ears and the water makes you unbalanced. Thats what my coach told me.

She won 5 Olympic medals in gymnastics ... a gold in individual all-around, silver in team all-around and horse vault, and bronze in floor exercise and uneven bars, all at the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles.

a very big room

There will be 8.8 million tickets sold for the 650 sessions of sport. Spread out over 30 plus venues the tickets will range from 20£ to 2,012£, with the most expensive seats being for the opening ceremony (2,012£ / 3,118US$) and closing ceremony (1,500£ / 2,325US$).

All sports will have at least one session with seats starting from 20£ / 31US$, but sessions that are usually oversubscribed have the higher price tags. Athletics (725£ / 1,124US$), Swimming (450£ / 700US$), and Cycling (325£ / 500US$) are among the most popular and good final tickets for Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Boxing, and Diving won't be cheap.

The opening and closing ceremony will be at the new constructed Olympic Stadium which has a capacity of 80,000 seats. With organisers expecting 250,000 people to flow into Olympic Park each day of the games, this is likely to be the biggest Olympic Games yet.

Power is a combination of speed and strength.

Power= Speed+ Strength

Your just using speed and strength at the same time :P

It wasn't a routine, it was her second vault that won the gold medal for the U. S. A. women's gymnastics team, in the 1984 LA olympics!

In the USA gymnastics program the phases are usually represented by a pyramid. The bottom is compulsory and optional levels 1-10. The middle is elite gymnastics. the top is Olympic and World championships.

some dudes were doing backflips and the lead dude was like"man this is awesome" and the other dude was like, " yeah man it is awesome what should we call it," and the lead dude was like," i don't know," then the lead dude sneezed and it sounded like he said gymnastics so they decided to call it that.

There is a *lot* of terminology in gymnastics. I couldn't possibly list it all. I suggest Googling a gymnastics dictionary.

What do you mean by basic skills? Basic skill for pre-competitive? Level 4? Level 8? Level 10?

Both sports are typically considered "girlie" even through both have many male participants. It depends on what type of dance you are talking about. Ballet is maybe less girlie than cheerleading, but cheering and hip hop have many similarities

It depends on the teacher and how competitive they are.

the dictionary definition for these words are: stunts-- a performance displaying a person's skill or dexterity, as in athletics; feat: an acrobatic stunt.tumbling-- the act, practice, or art of performing acrobatic tumbles, usually on a mat or the ground. stunts are like in Cheerleading when you see a girl getting thrown up in the air or people holding a girl in the air, that's a stunt. tumbling is considered things like cartwheel, front roll, round-off, back-handspring, back tuck, full, x-out, front tuck, front-handspring, etc.

The ancient Egyptians invented the back handspring. Later on, the Greeks adopted it.

It depends. You first have to be on a level. There are levels 4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Most level 4's are in first grade. So you can compete when you are pretty young.. but you have to be good. I am a level 9. =]

You get a ruler and measure it in inches from the bottom of your hand to the bottom of you fingers.The finger holes will be tiny at first so it might be hard to get your fingers in and out unless you get grips with dalls. If you have dalls you just put them at the tips of your fingers.
