Description
Gymnastics is a captivating sport that involves the performance of sequences of movements requiring physical strength, flexibility, balance, endurance, gracefulness, and kinesthetic awareness. Gymnasts execute a wide range of acrobatic skills, including handsprings, handstands, split leaps, aerials, and cartwheels. The discipline contributes to the development of various muscle groups, such as the arms, legs, shoulders, back, chest, and abdominal muscles. Whether it's the graceful routines of women's artistic gymnastics (WAG) on events like the floor, vault, uneven bars, and beam, or the powerful displays of men's artistic gymnastics (MAG) on the floor, vault, rings, pommel horse, parallel bars, and horizontal bar, gymnastics showcases a unique blend of athleticism, artistry, and precision. The governing body for gymnastics worldwide is the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG), which oversees various disciplines, including rhythmic gymnastics, trampolining, and more.
