The word "gymnastics" comes from the Greek gymnazo - "exercise, train." Gymnastics not only strengthens health and promotes harmonious physical development, but also develops coordination, strength, flexibility and endurance. There are several types of gymnastics.
Instructions
Step 1
General developmental gymnastics, as a rule, is used to form a person's new skills and includes walking, running, working with weights (dumbbells, barbells, etc.), climbing and much more. This type of gymnastics stimulates the work of internal organs, accelerates metabolic processes, and strengthens the neuromuscular apparatus. In domestic sports medicine, general developmental gymnastics is considered an excellent means of rest after intellectual exertion, as well as a way to improve performance.
Step 2
Hygienic gymnastics is known to many for its elementary morning exercises. The exercises are aimed at improving blood and lymph circulation, eliminating stagnant processes, and forming correct posture. Hygienic gymnastics is the prevention of a number of diseases. In addition to general strengthening exercises in this type of gymnastics, elements of stretching (stretching) and hardening are used.
Step 3
Athletic gymnastics is aimed at building muscle mass, losing weight, developing endurance and strength. The main principle of this type of gymnastics is the repeated repetition of exercises with a systematic increase in the load. Usually people are engaged in athletic gymnastics in gyms and fitness clubs. For exercise to be more effective, it should be combined with reasonable cardio loads.
Step 4
Rhythmic gymnastics has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system (running and jumping), the locomotor system (bends and squats), the nervous system (stretching), increases joint mobility, develops muscle strength and plasticity. All exercises of this type of gymnastics are performed with special music. Depending on the tasks, rhythmic gymnastics can be dance, athletic, health-improving, psycho-regulatory.
Step 5
Therapeutic gymnastics is one of the main forms of prevention and treatment of various diseases. A set of exercises is developed by a specialist taking into account the specific physical capabilities and diagnosis of the patient. This type of gymnastics does not provide for a large load on an organ or organ system, but it helps restore their functionality. Moreover, remedial gymnastics has a positive effect on the body as a whole.
Step 6
Rhythmic gymnastics belongs to the category of sports disciplines. It includes exercises with non-support jumps, with objects (ribbon, ball, hoop, etc.) and without them. In this type of gymnastics, physical exercises, dance elements and musical accompaniment are closely related. Rhythmic gymnastics develops all muscle groups, coordination, helps to form correct posture, and increases flexibility. Professional athletes who have been involved in artistic gymnastics for many years master dozens of acrobatic exercises.
Step 7
Artistic gymnastics involves the performance of exercises on various gymnastic apparatus (rings, horse, parallel bars, beam and others). In addition, floor exercises on a flat surface are an obligatory element.
