Gymnastic Classes

In fact the first modern trampoline only actually came into existence in the 20th century in America. George Nissan and Larry Griswold a gymnast and assistant coach used their experiences of training with and mending the safety nets used by trapeze artists to inspire their first portable trampoline in 1936. Trampolining as a sport was born and from there was taken into gymnastic competitions from 1947, but took until 1967 for the sport to be recognized in its own right. Trampolining has been recognized as an Olympic event since 2000, where it was introduced at the Sydney Olympics and since then has spread across the globe. For the last twenty years or so, Garden Trampolines have become popular, and have provided a huge boost to the sport. The success at the top of any sport is governed by the width of potential talent coming in at the bottom, and the boom in residential trampolines has greatly increased the number of potential high end athletes. Today, trampolining is popular the worl …

The exposure to a international audience would be huge, billions of people now watch the Olympics. News reports would spread throughout the world and it would greatly increase the ‘brand recognition’ of the sport throughout the world. But the Olympic Committee have been resisting. They have now reached, I believe, a ‘one in, one out’ level. It has been decided that the Olympics now has the right number of sports taking part and so for one to enter another sport must be removed. But rugby sevens can really add something to the Olympics. The fifteen aside game is too intense to put a worthwhile tournament together. But the IRB World Sevens Series is now a big event, and each tournament only takes place over the course of a weekend, which would be easy to fit into any Olympic schedule. According to the IRB (International Rugby Board) statistics in the 06/07 season the sevens tournament reached 213 million homes. All games bring attendances of over 25,000 and in 06/07 a cumulative attenda …

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 …
