What is the bounciest trampoline?

Today, both children and adults lead an increasingly less active lifestyle, but they are very active online. This has a very bad effect on muscle tone, the functioning of various organs and systems of the body, as well as on the state of health in general.

An effective solution to this problem is to buy a trampoline. This versatile sports equipment is intended for fun and training for both children and adults. You just need to choose the right model from all the variety offered by modern manufacturers: from gaming to sports, from home to professional.

All trampolines are divided into large groups depending on their design, size and purpose:

  • amateur and professional,

  • games and sports,

  • children and adults,

  • inflatable and frame,

  • indoor and outdoor,

  • large and small,

  • with and without mesh.

For more information, I found a cool rating of trampolines by Nolan Harris on a trampolines.guide.

What is a sequence in gymnastics?

Well, each sequence is different (and should be). It could be a back tumbling sequence for example. Let's say the gymnast just finished her dance sequence in her beam routine. In a beam routine each sequence usually travels the full length of the beam (unless it is a stationary sequence such as a jump sequence). Now the gymnast will stand tall, take a deep breath and raise her arms tall to gain good center-balance then do a back-hand spring, back hand spring, back layout (that should take up the entire length of the beam) and place her arms in a "finish" position signifying she has completed that sequence.

Why does a gymnast rub powder on his hand before exercising on a set of parallel bars?

Their feet become slippery when they sweat so the powder also know as chalk makes their feet less swlippery.

How are gymnastics scored?

i believe that you would judge it with fairness of course, but also with kindness. don't ever laugh at the person you're judging.

To add to that point and get into the specifics of judging cheerleading there are multiple categories. A routine can earn up to 15 points in the areas of jumps, stunts, tumbling, and overall. A team earns these points based on the execution and degree of difficulty. The categories continue and teams earn up to 5 points in other categories such as difficulty, choroeography and transitions. It is a complicated system but as time goes by and you compete or judge you become aware of the difference between exceptional routines and spectacular ones.

What age is too old to start learning gymnastics?

There is no age requirement, but children younger than 4 or 5 generally do not have enough control over their body to do gymnastics and teenagers older than 14 or 15 generally do not start gymnastics because a gymnasts body at that age is very well adjusted to gymnastics with flexibility and muscle. Most gymnasts "retire" at about 16 or 17 anyway, because their body is too "old" or is starting to wear out because of the harsh abuse from years of gymnastics. But, I know several people who have started gymnastics at 14 and are doing very well.

How does muscular strength help you in gymnastics?

Agility helps in gymnastics because if you get good at it you need the speed and power to do things like ... back flips, backsaults, front saults and layout also many more. If you don't have the agility you will probably hurt or injure youself.

Do you have to be a gymnast to be a gymnastics coach?

No. If your talking about talent, then no. Of course a little bit is needed but the most important thing in gymnastics is passion and persistance, you also need to believe in yourself. Gymnastics isn't an easy sport, not at all, but if you love it and know what you want to get out of it then you can get there. Remember that everyone has bad patches were nothing works but they come and go. Good luck!

The word derives from the Greek (gymnastike), fem. of (gymnastikos), "fond of athletic exercises"[1], from (gymnasia), "exercise"[2] and that from (gymnos), "naked"[3], because athletes exercised and competed in the nude.

So, it means "Naked Exercises".

Is it unhealthy if your index finger can bend all the way back and touch the back of ones hand?

As long as your not forcing your finger back and it is causing no pain then it's absolutley normal for your hand. Some people have hyperextended or doublejointed joints. This basically means that joint can extend the extent of it's bending ability or can twist and turn in weird yet wonderful ways. There's nothing to worry about. However, if it is causing you pain then i suggest go to the doctors to get it checked out but i shouldn't worry if i was you, it's a talent, not many people you know will be able to do that. SURPRISE THEM WITH IT!
