Gymnastics

most gymnasts wear just a leotard and shorts, but in some gyms sweatshirts or tshirts are allowed, but jeans are never allowed because of the safety risk to the gymnast and the metal on any pants with buttons or zippers can damage the equipment, mostly the bars.

a locomotor motive is a movement that does"t stay on/in one stop

So far I have not discovered any method to completely stop a rip,and I get them about 2 times every week. The one thing I can tell you to do is put some Neosporin on a band-aid, preferably a special shaped fabric one, then put that on your rip. If you are planning to continue bars with the rip or even if it just needs something more to keep the band-aid then I suggest having a tape grip. if you don't know what it is your coach will probably know, but it is basically athletic tape wrapped around your hand to keep the band-aid in place. Hope this helped!

In lamens terms, flexibility is key and it is much easier to train flexibility while the body is supple.

an axis is- An imaginary line around which the body rotates.

a flege is- On the parallel bar, the gymnast hangs upside down as he/she turns backward and lets go, re-grasping the parallel bar in the hang or front positions.

a arab spring is- a move in which the legs come together as the body makes a one-quarter turn (similar to a cartwheel)

group gymnastics is when you are on a team commpetting other teams

Great stretches to do are the runners stretch and straddle. In runners stretch work everyday until you can put your elbows on the ground and see a clean line down your body. In straddle stretch to both side but do not round your back. Keep it straight so eventually you can put your chest flat you your leg. Another great stretch to do it get in a split position (right or left leg in front) and bend your front leg so that your foot is under you. Try and Bend your back leg up and grab it with your opposite hand and stretch it.

Also, when practicing your split if you are not all of the way down keep your knees completely straight so you can stretch out the muscles and tendons around your groin.

Happy Stretching!

I am a level 6 gymnast, and I know that uneven bars are made out of wood and that the supports are made out of metal and metal wire. _____________________________________________________________________________________ I am a level 8 gymnast in Australia, and I know that all the new bars are fiberglass on the inside and wooden on the outside (this gives the bars bounce, rather than the solid oval wooden bars they used to use, and allows you to do release elements and circles/giants etc.). The supports are metal, to provide stability.

A pommel horse is an apparatus used in the sport of Gymnastics.

you can get a trampoline in any size, , , usually sizes start at 8 ft. and go up to 17-18 ft. (circle trampolines) rectangular trampolines do give u much more space, but cost much more. Remember that to keep your trampoline in the nice shape that it was when u bought it invest in a cover for it. Saves it from bird poop, easy removal of leave, and water making it rust. You can round Trampolines and Rectangular Trampolines. The Round ones start at 6ft, although more normally 8ft, and go up to 10ft, 12ft and 14ft. There are also 13ft and 15ft versions manufactured, but normally as a price confusion tactic by multiple retailers. the rectangular ones start at around 2m long and go up to around 5m long. The round ones are better for general family use.

There is not 4 kinds of gymnastics, just 4 events: vault, balance beam, floor, and uneven bars. However, there are 2 types of gymastics: Artistic (with the 4 events I just named) and Rythmic.

girl gymnasts work on each separate of four events, polishing old skills during the competition season, learning and braving new skills off-season. bars takes a lot of abs and pain tolerance sometimes (your hands get quite sore from all the rips), while beam takes a lot of nerve and balance. vault is all about power and timing, while floor works your stamina and speed. most gymnasts also have a conditioning time, when they push their muscles harder than ever to be able to do their moves easily. at my gym, we work on the events for two or three hours, and most conditioning usually takes up an hour.

Women's Gymnastics; * Uneven Parallel Bars * Vault * Floor Exercise * Balance Beam Men's Gymnastics; * High Bar * Vault * Parallel Bars * Floor Exercise * Pommelhorse * Rings By the way, it is spelled "apparatuses".

gymnastics is for girls and boys. you do difffernt events depending on if your a boy or a girl.

Nadia Comaneci retired because she was too old to compete, but now, she still coaches!!!

OK, these are the gymnastics levels... Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Optionals + Level 10 would fall into optionals plus. So to the time it would take to get to level 10 is really your choice depending on your dedectation. But for the average person about 5-8 yrs...

Gymnasts use chalk on their hands to help them grip the Uneven Bars.

Gymnastics requires extreme strength to weight ratios. Gymnasts are generaly short because of the physics governing fulcrums. The longer a boom or crain is the more weight has to be on the short side as a counter ballance. Hold a broom or pole out horizontally (parallel to the ground) is much harder when the pole is longer and eventually impossible if it were long enougn. somebody Archemedes (I think) once said "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world." In this case he would obviously be on the long end of the lever but it demonstrates the principal. I myself can probably curl maybe 150 pounds but if my forearm was say 4 inches long (a horrible thought) I could probably curl more like 600 pounds.

It can be bad when a gymnast is on bars because too much friction between the bars and the hands can cause calluses/skin to rip off and leave the skin raw and/or bleeding. This can make practicing on bars very painful for a gymnast.

the main trick to doing a full is being tight, having height, and pulling your legs to the ground. if you can do a layout then all you really need to do is get a certified superviser to spot you a couple of times. i'l take you through the steps: 1. rebound out of your backhandsring 2. pull your arms up straight and be hollow 3. pull both arms across your chest in an X motion to the perfered shoulder 4. look with you head 5. snap your legs down this should get you through the basics of pulling a full. even though i am a cheerleader, they are basicly the same in the two sports. MAKE SURE that you dont try this alone as an ameatur!!

There are way too many to list. It changed for each apparatus. The basics are.

No lyrics in floor music, no underwear showing under leotard, no shorts ontop of leotard, you must complete a skill, if you fail to complete it you lose points, you must not fall off the apparatus, music is only allowed for floor, you must compete in floor, bars, beam and vault. There just some of the basics, there a many more.

hot to go

and your chant can be

hot to go hot to go

h o t! t o! g o!

(spell it out)

hpe i could help?? :)

Gymnastics is a historically important sport, because of its universal appeal and the difficulty of its maneuvers. Countries can be united and develop friendly rivalries with such a sport.
