Learn Basics About 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 categorized into numerous disciplines including aerobic, acrobatic, tumbling, team gym, artistic, rhythmic, and trampolining gymnastics. Participants might be of any age, ranging from children of under two years to grownups from both genders. Hopefuls who want to become worldwide gymnasts begin exercising at a young age and take specialty in one or several disciplines. This sport might also be performed for recreational reasons besides being a global competitive game.

Of all the other branches in this sport, the most recognized of all is artistic gymnastic. It entail both, ale and female events and is included in most Olympic games. Events in which females participate include balance beams, uneven bars, vaults, and floor exercises. Event for males comprise of vaults, still ring, high bars, floor exercises, pommel horses, and parallel bars.

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 called a difficulty score, and it brings the number of scores used to two. On the difficulty score, points are not deducted like in the execution score, rather they are awarded. The difficulty score bases on the element a gymnast performs and can change depending on whether one does not perform of finish all the skills. It also depends on whether one connects a skill to the other as required or not.

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 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.
