Gymnastics

Yes, adults can perform gymnastics. However, the adult body tends to have less flexibility and agility than an adolescent body, particularly if the adult was not flexible or agile as a youth. You can still perform gymnastics and learn the movements, but you probably won't qualify for the Olympics.

The actual action of doing a back handspring only takes about 4 seconds. But, if you mean learning to do a back handspring, that time can vary depending on the person and the time spent practicing. It can take months to years.

traveling is like when you do a back flip you travel if u don't land in the same place that you started

Yes, you probably should. If you are trying out for something you might want to try to keep your feet close. If you aren't doing something 'special' you probally don't have to worry about it. :)

There is no height limit for gymnastics. And I am not sure about the age. I am 14 and I do gymnastics and I think that like 16-19 is too old. But there is no age limit

Take it one foot at a time, place your best foot in front of the other, lean back, and push off!Thats a back walkover and a front walkover is simply just a handstand taken one foot at a time and pushed over to land. These moves do require practice so dont just go out and try it right away. Get help from a coach or gymnastics spotter. Hope my answer helped a little!

there is always a answer to these type of ques. and it is google.com

The United States did not participate in the 1980 Summer Olympics.

No unless you think that working out for 3 and a half hours each day. Also, doing skills that can kill you

When choosing a gymnastics leotard, one should consider whether it will be a practise leotard or a performance leotard. Consideration should also be given to things like how many seams there are in the garment, and whether or not there is enough elasticity to support the many different moves a gymnast does.

Fist person to do the back flip was Mike Course in 1957 in the show Paris sur la glace in Paris, France

One reason the ISU (governing body of figure skating) banned the backflip was that it did not believe it could be landed on one foot, as all other jumps have to be. Surya Bonaly and other skaters have landed backflips on one foot, but the move remains illegal in amateur competition. It is allowed in exhibition and professional skating.

Gymnastics acually means "exercising naked" I know it sounds crazy but it's true. Back then gymnasts performed naked. And girls did not do gymnastics. In fact they weren't allowed in the arena. Eventually gymnastics changed and girls were allowed to do gymnastics in 1928. Now men did not want them to perform naked so they used leotards. Then they made things for boys to wear.

Go to an gymnastics or cheer class or if your school has cheerleading any form ask the coach to help you with yours cause if you ask your cheercoach it will be free your parents will enjoy that!! :)

You should start competing at the age of 8,9,10 or 11 because when you are a child you are more flexible.

You can start in level 1 doing local competitions, when you get to higher levels you can do bigger competitions around the country and internationally.

Chasse is the correct spelling for the movement in Gymnastics and Dancing. Think 'chase' as in one foot chases the other. It is often mistakenly pronounced sashay / sachet (by coaches and gymnasts) which are both different words with different meanings.

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.
