Understanding The Fundamentals Of Ozark Gymnastics

By Andrea Davidson


In Ozark gymnastics is a kind of sport that involves performance of exercises that need physical strength, coordination, balance, agility, power, and flexibility. The sport is governed by an international federation, (FIG) on the international scale. The federation is responsible for ensuring that the standards of the sport are upheld at all international competitions. Each country in the world has a national body that has some affiliation with the FIG.

The sport is split into several disciplines including tumbling, aerobic, acrobatic, team gym, trampolining, artistic, and rhythmic gymnastics. Participants may be of any age, beginning with children of less than 2 years to grown-ups of both genders. Individuals who wish to be worldwide gymnasts start exercising at a very young age and take one or more disciplines as a specialty. This sport may also be exercised for purposes of recreation besides being an international competitive game.

Artistic gymnastic is the most known discipline of all the other disciplines in this field. It involves both men and women events and is incorporated in most Olympic events. Events in which women participate include vaults, floor exercises, balance beams, and uneven bars. Event for men include high bars, parallel bar, vaults, still rings, pommel horses, and floor exercises.

Points in this game are awarded according to how good an individual executes various events. The score used is called an execution score and is normally out of 10 points. The judge deducts points from the overall 10 points from the beginning to the end of a session. There is however, a new method of awarding marks currently in use in the US in elite level competition.

The new score is known as a difficulty score, which brings the total number of scores in use to 2. In a difficulty score, points are awarded as opposed to execution score where they are deducted. The difficulty score is based on the element gymnasts perform and can change relying on whether one finishes or fails to perform all skills entailed. It also relies on whether or not one links skills to each other as required.

The most known gains in difficulty scores are connection bonuses. Connection of aspects is the awarding factor here since it is considered skillful to connect 2 or more flight components. Moreover, it is very difficult to connect skills to each other if the initial skill is not done perfectly in the first place. Difficulty score allows gymnasts to gain more scores basing on how hard the events they perform are and how correctly they are executed. There is no boundary to the score one may gain here.

Most events are performed singly by an individual while others involve a pair or a group. Pair and group events need a lot of focus and synchronism among all participants because the failure of one person extends to the entire group. There are also many equipment used in most skills of each event.

Ozark gymnastics bases on perfecting skills learned. Gymnasts go through coaching for years before they perform on international platforms. Many gymnasts warm up before taking part in events so as to be prepared emotionally and physically.
