Gymnastics Springboard

Shasta Trampoline Club is renowned as being one of the most successful trampoline programs in Canada, but as the sport progresses, the club needs to advance the development of its athletes and increase the depth of the club to maintain the club's reputation for excellence. In the past fifteen years, there has been an influx in the number of trampoline clubs throughout the country. As these clubs gain traction, Shasta Trampoline club has maintained fairly stagnant and as a result, fewer members of Shasta Trampoline Club are qualifying for International competitions than ever before. With your permission, I propose to investigate new club developments that will improve competitive results. Having been an athlete at Shasta Trampoline Club for over ten years and recently transitioning to Shasta Trampoline Coach, I have an intimate knowledge of the club and its members, giving me the experience and expertise needed to conduct this research.

The trampoline he called a "bouncing ring" actually consists of a metal frame with canvas stretched over it which can be highly unsafe for people who aren't trained properly. George Nissen intended this invention for trapeze

Imagine being able to jump up to nine feet in the air, run up to 25 miles per hour, and be the talk of the whole town. When I first saw these jumping stilts in the Beijing Olympic opening and closing ceremonies I just had to get some to try out. The very next day I began researching about the stilts. I found out that the inventor was a German engineer named Alexander Boeck, the average cost of a pair is around five or six-hundred dollars, and the majority of “Bockers” in the united states are in the Southwest region. I was so amazed by what would be possible to do in them so I found a dealer in Phoenix, Arizona and bought my Air-Trekkers.

Most of know this to be a very specialized and technical sport. Well, it is, and if you don't know what you are doing you can certainly hurt yourself. Maybe this is one reason so many of us have sore backs due to improper body mechanics. Olympic weight lifters are some of the most athletic and powerful athletes around. This is just in the nature of the sport. To explain it simply the object of the sport is to pick an object up off the floor to your shoulders (the clean) or overhead position as efficiently as possible (clean and jerk or snatch). I will not bore you with the details of Olympic Weight Lifting at this time. If you think about it, you probably execute these types of motions throughout the day in life. Weather you are lifting a child, a bag of groceries, or any object for that manner. Olympic lifting doesn't have to involve a bar with weights on it, any object can be used including dumbbells, medicine balls, stones, sandbags, and Russian Kettlebells (this in an article in

Gymnast typically use a pull-up bar to make sure they work the entire upper body. Not only does gymnast need to have strength, but they also need to be flexible. Gaining the flexibility of a gymnast requires daily practice. The first step is to warm up with cardio, as in walking, jogging, or running. The next step is to stand with the feet apart and lowering the chest to the knees.

The Olympics are an international sporting event that is held every four years where people from around the world send their best athletes to compete and see who the best of the best is when it comes to sports. The Olympics date back to Ancient Greece where their basic events included track and field, which are like men’s high jump which is the topic of this report. In this problem we are looking at the data collected from the gold medalists in the men’s high jump in from the years 1932-1980, excluding the years 1940 and 1944 where the Olympics were not held due to World War II.

In gymnastics they practice a good amount of time to maybe make it into the Olympics one day. Gymnastics can help you to learn to do flips, turns, and spins.Gymnastics can help you do better in school and make you more active.Gymnastics can help your brain concentrate on school.Flips can help you feel happy about yourself and a lot of people like to see your cool

For my report I decided to do it on gymnastics. My report will include the history about gymnastics. I will talk about how to do gymnastics and the benefits for doing gymnastics. I will also explain how I am involved in gymnastics. In the late eighteenth-and the early nineteenth-century gymnastics began. It started in Germany. Johann Friedrich Gutsmuths and Friedrich Ludwig Jahn created gymnastics. It is different now because back then they did not have all of the things that we have now. To do gymnastics, you need lots strength and flexibility. Some of The rules for gymnastics are that on floor you have to stay inside the line so if you are doing flips on the floor when you land you must be inside the line Gymnastics is good for you because

Gymnastics is a very difficult sport that takes a lot of commitment. Many children take on gymnastics at a young age and strive to become Olympic gymnasts by competing their whole lives, but not a lot of people are able to pursue that dream due to the challenges that come with being a gymnast. Coaches are currently conditioning and training their gymnasts at very demanding and advanced levels. Although the sport has several positive health benefits on the body, it also puts gymnasts at a very high risk of injury. It is not very common for these injuries to be severe, however, if they are not treated properly it is likely for them to lead to chronic pain and even bone fractures.

On March 3rd I went to my sister's gymnastics meet where they stretched, warmed up, and, practiced. first when they stretched they did simple things like Heel to butt, toe touch, and lots of other stretches. when they started to warm up they got on the balance beams and walked back and forth to get ready to practice. some of the other kids Suede back and forth on their hands. finally, when they started practicing they started doing some of the things they learned throughout the season. this the season was balanced beans they had to know how to walk backward on the balance beam and how to stand on one foot on the beam. the component of fitness in gymnastics Is flexibility, muscular endurance, And muscular strength. I was at this event for

Gymnastics uses every muscle in a child’s body. In fact, most gymnasts have incredible upper and lower body strength. Unlike other sports that require kids to do additional strengthening and conditioning

Deep breaths… Okay- you got this. It’s just you and the vault. Nothing else matters. You have done this a million times before. Nick always here to catch me if I fall. Muscle memory takes over. When I am in the right mental state, anything seems possible. Any athlete would agree with me. All sports are half mental. AS I run down the runway, I know why I am a gymnast. Every bounding step I take I run farther and farther from everything happening in my life. Farther and farther from all the distractions. I can only hear my feet pounding into the springboard. Flying off the vault with a power I don’t even know I contain, everything zapped into slow motion. This is what it all comes down to. Every minute of training in the gym. Every wrist and

“It is a wonderful way to develop coordination, balance, strength and creativity while working in harmony with the horse.” (AVA) Vaulting is not like trick riding, the horses are much more calmer. Some 4-H clubs have certain things to involve vaulting.

The sport really isn’t. They get tackled at most by jumping 3 inches off of the floor. As gymnasts we could fall from 6 feet up in the air. You fall off of the bars in a handstand and then you pretty much have no possible way of keeping your self not injured. No matter what you do you get injured. I have a bruise the size of a baseball on my arm from not even falling. I got in by swinging on the strap bar. That is bar that you are strapped in by wristbands and straps. Also we can fall literally walking on a balance during warmups. THat doesn’t happen a lot but, that still can

motions, and our facials are working overtime, motions sharp as boards. First sequence of jumps, everyone gets off the ground and everyone lands.
