Gymnastic Classes

If an athlete is good enough to qualify for the Olympics — then they should be allowed to compete — regardless of age. And it seems silly to me that there is minimum age requirements for some events in the Olympics and not others. One of the female US swimmers, for instance, is only 15 years-old and and there is a 14 year-old British diver — both of whom are both legally competing. In addition, it also seems silly to allow a gymnast to practice over 50 hours a week and compete in all other competitions, but not in the Olympics. It also seems silly that the International Gymnastic Federation (IGF) should dictate the rules for the Olympics instead of the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Plus, a significant reason the US women gymnastics team did not take home the team gold is because they made numerous mistakes. However, that all being said, a rule is a rule and the lack of follow-up by the IOC and the IGF over the Chinese gymnasts’ ages is, well, silly. The rule, implemented b …

So, what is the definition of planes in gymnastics? A place, in terms of movement, is described as an area of space around the body through which we can swing the apparatus, or indeed move the body. It is a directional term used in relation to the body itself, and helps to identify the various pathways of movement (there are three) of both the body and the apparatus. It is important that these planes are understood and used, so that the movement of the apparatus is clear and precise, and definite changes from one place to another are apparent. The three are: 1. The sagittal or wheel place. The vertical area at the side of the body through which the forward and backward swing is performed. 2. The frontal or door place. The vertical area in front of the body through which the side to side swing is performed. 3. The transverse or table place. The horizontal flat area around the body through which the turning swing is performed. Much work can be had in a class or club where there are a nu …
