The World Games: Gymnastics - Aerobic & Rhythmic

Gymnastics is a sport that requires balance, strength, flexibility, agility, coordination and endurance. There are six disciplines of Gymnastics offered in The World Games: Acrobatic, Aerobic, Parkour, Rhythmic, Trampoline and Tumbling.

Aerobic is the ability to perform continuous complex and high intensity movement patterns to music. This sport originated from traditional aerobic exercises, as the routine must demonstrate continuous movement, flexibility, strength and the utilization of the seven basic steps. The winning routine must show clean and balanced movements with perfect technique.

Rhythmic Gymnastics is practiced exclusively by women. This discipline includes five apparatus: Rope, Hoop, Ball, Clubs, and Ribbon. However, only four of these are used in a competition cycle. In competition, individual gymnasts present four exercises corresponding to the four authorized apparatus.
