Learn The Basics Of Ozark Gymnastics

By Andrea Davidson


In Ozark gymnastics is a form of sport which entails execution of exercises that require balance, agility, physical strength, flexibility, coordination, and power. At the international scale, the sport is controlled by (FIG), an international federation. This federation ensures that required standards in the game are observed at all global competitions. All nations on the globe have national authorities that have some association with the FIG in one way or another.

The sport is divided into many disciplines including team gym, tumbling, aerobic, acrobatic, trampolining, rhythmic, and artistic gymnastics. Participants can be of any age, starting with kids of less than two years to adults of both genders. People who endeavor to be international gymnasts start practicing at a very tender age and specialize in one or more disciplines. This sport can also be exercised for recreational purposes besides being a 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.

Connection bonuses are the most known sources of gain in difficulty scores. Connection of components are the awarding aspects here as it is considered tactful to connect several flight elements. Moreover, it is difficult to connect two skills if the first one is not done well to start with. Difficulty scores allow gymnasts to gain much more scores based on the level of sophistication of the event they perform and how perfectly they are performed. Here, there is no border to how much points one may gain.

Many events are done singly by an individual while others involve groups or pairs. Group and pair events need a lot of synchronism and concentration among all gymnasts involved because the failure of one participant affects the whole team. There is also several pieces of equipment used in various skills of every event.

Ozark gymnastics is all about perfecting skills. Gymnasts undergo training for several years before they can appear on the international platform to perform. Most gymnasts are also seen warming up before they participate in an event so as to prepare physically and emotionally.
