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 …

To participate in the sport, there are various pieces of gymnastics equipment that are used. Many of the skills that the ancient Greeks pioneered are still in use today. The sport has come a long way from horse mounting and dismounting; gymnastics equipment has taken the place of the horse. The types of gymnastics equipment that you will find today include the pommel horse, the spring floor, parallel bars, vault, rings, and high bar. Each piece of gymnastics equipment is utilized in a different competitive event. One will also find other pieces of gymnastics equipment such as trampolines, balance beams, uneven bars, and maximizers.
