Gymnastics

Angel stunts in gymnastics are stunts that are performed by a single person. They are sometimes referred to as individual stunts.

It depends on your height. Im not exactly sure on the settings though.

The high of the upper bar is 241cm, lower bar 161cm and the distance between is 130cm or 180cm.

Water trampolines do not offer as much bounce as normal land trampolines. A good comparison would be a bounce house. You can get a visual of how much bounce you get from a water trampoline here:

Keep in mind that each brand and model will be different. The one above has a more elaborate spring system.

By the way, water trampolines without springs are called water bouncers.

Well you will usually have six gymnasts that will make the qualifications to compete in the Olympics. Then during the qualifications to see who will compete on which event you can have as many as 5 gymnasts but only the top four scores are counted.

I think horseback riding is much more dangerous. Remember that the rider of a horse has to control a 1,600 pound animal with little more than a pair of reins. Horses, like all animals, can be unpredictable. They can buck, rear, etc at any moment. And, sometimes if you fall the horse might land on you. So I believe horseback riding is much more dangerous, even though soccer can be, too.

Target, WalMart, Kmart all sell them. Target has a nice kit including a mat.

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.

Some of the events include:
Vault, in which you would naturally use the vault and you might use mats or springboards for practicing. (Used in Girls and Boys gymnastics.)
Floor, in which you might use mats or springboards for practice. (Used in Girls and Boys gymnastics.)
Bars, in which you use the bars. You also might use grips for your hands, tape, or chalk. (Used in Girls and Boys gymnastics. Girls use uneven bars and boys use parallel bars as well as the high bar.)
Beam, in which you use the beam, and a mat for practice. (Used in Girls gymnastics.)
Rings, in which you used the rings and you might use mats, a foam pit, or chalk. (Used in Boys gymnastics.)
Pommel Horse, in which you use a pommel horse and maybe some chalk. (Used in Boys gymnastics.)

Gymnastics is wonderful! It builds up muscle tone, It keeps you fit and healthy, It's a wonderful sport to be involved in and to be proud of, you get to learn how to tumble (which is so much fun), your team and other athletes in your gym become some of your best friends :)

The best way to prepare for a meet is to ask a coach or check out some websites. Try punching "How to prepare for a gymnastics meet" into google, it worked for me and after that I won 2nd place on everything! It really works!

Hope this helps, do good and score well!

Nadia Comaneci, A Romanian Gymnast, winner of 3 olympic gold medals was the first ever to achieve a perfect 10 in Gymnastics.

You usually buy it from your gymnastics club. You get magnesium and carbon and combine it together and compress it in to a block and then wrap it up in some plastic.

Gymnastics is unique because it is one of those sports like basketball where it isn't called something different whether a boy or a girl plays it. It can be fun, challenging, scary, and one of the best times of your life. Also because it is scored unlike most sports, and the competitions consist of team work and yourself. Gymnastics is an amazing sport and don't judge it by its cover as a bunch of kids dancing around because it is alot harder then it seems.

Of course! If you really want to, you should do it and not worry about your age. Just have fun and work hard to improve. Many people have done this and they have turned out to be really successful!

It depends. If you are really strong, coordinated, and flexible then you can probably get away with little balance. If you have really good balance, you do not have to be as strong, coordinated, or flexible to do certain skills. It also depends on what type of gymnastics you are doing. A cartwheel of the beam takes more balance than a cartwheel on the floor.

Generally, there'd be very little advantage to doing so because most of a gymnast's speed, rotation, and power do not come from a lack of air friction, but rather from technique, fast-twitch muscle development, and repetition of skills in practice. But if it makes you more comfortable during the meet to be hair-free, then I'd say do whatever makes you perform better at competition (short of anything illegal).

Shawn Johnson was not inspired,her parents put her in gymnastics because she had to much energy.

Olympic Gold medalist Mary Lou Retton has four daughters. She and her husband Shannon Kelley live in the city of Houston, Texas.

Modern gymnastics was originally developed by the two main founding fathers Johann Guts Muth (Swedish, rythmic) and Friedrich Ludwig Jahn (German, apparatus), as an exercise regime for men and boys. It was fundamental in the preparation of combatants for the German Army of Liberation against the Napoleonic Army of Occupation. Jahn also created the horizontal bar, parallel bars and the vault, though they were much different than they are known for today. Modern Gymnastics appeared for the first time at the 1896 Olympics in Athens. Although women demonstrated the sport at the 1908 Olympics, women did not compete in the Olympics until 1928. Some of the first events seen in the Olympics from gymnastics included: running, synchronized team floor calisthenics, rope climbing, high jumping etc. Now female gymnasts compete on the floor exercise, vault, uneven bars, and balance beam. Male gymnasts compete on the floor exercise, vault, parallel bars, horizontal bar, pommel horse and rings. Nadia Comaneci was the first gymnast to receive a perfect score in the 1976 Olympics. In 2006, gymnastics saw it first change in the point system. Originally gymnasts were scored on a basis of 1 -10. 10 being the highest. But now gymnasts have a start value. This means that the gymnast performing the routines can choose the difficulty level of his/her skills. The higher the difficulty level of the skills in the routine, the higher the starting value will be.

I learned my splits in a week so i know it is possible!

First check how far you are SAFETLY! fallow these safety tips:

let your self down easy and keep your chest up and MOST IMPORTANTLY NEVER COME BACK UP FROM YOUR SPLITS FAST YOU CAN BREAK YOUR KNEE CAP!!!!!

So after you figure out how far you can go down go from there. for a day focus on getting down farther. you can push your self farther down on a wall.

then another thing you can do is get a gymnastics mat fold it up and put one foot on it and the other on the floor and try to do the splits on that.

or you can lay against a wall and put your legs out on the wall. then do pulsing crunches while holding on to your inner thighs your legs lower after a minute or 2 alot! all these things help esspecially streatching!

YOU ONLY WANT TO SPEND DEPEnDING oN THE DAYS OF YOUR WEEK IT IS 5 DAYS YOU ONLY WANNA SPEND ABOUT 3 DAYS ON DOING THESE. IF IT IS 7 DAYS THEN SPEND 4 DAYS ON THESE. AFTER THAT JUST PRACTICE ALOT AND AS WARM UPS YOU SHOULD STILL DO THOSE STREATCHES BUT YOUR MAIN FOCUS FOR THE LAST DAY SHOULD BE ON GETTING FARTHER DOWN AND PRACTICING.!

hope this helped and GOOD LUCK

love always

Gymnastics is done all over the world. Because of this, it is an Olympic sport.
