Gymnastics is a type of sport that includes physical exercises requiring
balance, strength, flexibility, agility, coordination, artistry and
endurance.[1] The movements involved in gymnastics contribute to the
development of the arms, legs, shoulders, back, chest, and abdominal
muscle groups. Gymnastics evolved from exercises used by the ancient
Greeks that included skills for mounting and dismounting a horse, and
from circus performance skills.
The most common form of competitive gymnastics is artistic gymnastics
(AG), which consists of, for women (WAG), the events floor, vault,
uneven bars, and beam; and for men (MAG), the events floor, vault,
rings, pommel horse, parallel bars, and horizontal bar.
