/kloc-In the middle of the 0/8th century, wars were frequent. For military purposes, some capitalist countries combined gymnastics with military training to make gymnastics gradually active. In Germany, after studying Greek gymnastics and all kinds of gymnastics advocated by people at that time, some people thought: "Instrument practice is the best way to develop strength and enhance the quality of will." This idea objectively meets the needs of militarism and has received some support. Therefore, a gymnastics school of "thick-stick exercise" was soon formed. Some gymnastics equipment, such as horizontal bar, parallel bars, vault, etc. , also appeared.

With the development of German gymnastics, Swedish gymnastics schools with military, educational and medical purposes began to take shape. The characteristic of this school is that it pays special attention to the whole body exercise to develop muscle strength. In training, it uses brisk and sincere exercises, and the training procedures are strict but rigid. Because of its great health value and systematic teaching methods, it is very popular among educators and doctors, which has influenced some Germans to develop the "thick stick movement" in this direction.

The same origin as Swedish gymnastics is Danish gymnastics. Danish gymnastics is the most systematic and earliest school gymnastics education system in Europe. It is also the most popular country in western Europe in the19th century.

Great changes have taken place in gymnastics in the 1960s. The birth of "Eagle" gymnastics in Czechoslovakia made competitive gymnastics an independent branch. Developed. Gymnastics "Eagle" school believes that the most important thing in gymnastics practice is to remain beautiful and attractive without denying health and military purposes. Therefore, it requires not only beautiful appearance, but also special gymnastics clothes. In the whole set of movements of floor exercise and apparatus gymnastics, the movement arrangement is diverse and chaotic ..... This series of evolution has won the love of young people. At that time, according to the needs of the development of gymnastics, concise and vivid terms were formulated. For example, the vault's "horizontal jump" is called "swallow style" and has been used ever since.

With the extensive development of general competitive gymnastics in Europe, there is a competition demand. The first international gymnastics competition was held in the first Olympic Games held in Greece from 65438 to 0896. At that time, only men participated in six events, including parallel bars, horizontal bar, vault, rings and rope climbing.

Since 1900 the second Olympic Games, great changes have taken place in the contents of the games. In addition to instrumental gymnastics, track and field contents such as high jump, long jump and pole vault have been added. There will be some changes in the events of each competition in the future.

1903 the international gymnastics Federation held the first world gymnastics competition in Antwerp, Belgium. In fact, only France, Belgium, Luxembourg and other western European countries participated. This project is similar to the Olympic Games. In addition to four kinds of apparatus gymnastics, there are150m running (required to finish in 16 seconds) and high jump (over1.65m), and weightlifting (lifting 40kg with both hands for 20 times).

Gymnast 1928 The 9th Olympic Games participated in the Olympic Games for the first time. 1934 women's gymnastics in the 10th World Gymnastics Championships just came into the market.

The World Gymnastics Competition is held every two years from 1903 to the sixth 19 13. Later, due to World War I, it was interrupted for eight years, and it was not until 1922 that the seventh competition was held in Yugoslavia. It will be held every four years in the future, intersecting with the Olympic Games every two years. The period of the second world heel was interrupted until 1978, and * * * held the19th world gymnastics championship.

From the end of 19 to the 1950s, it was the process of the occurrence and development of competitive gymnastics. At the beginning, the events were complex, including track and field, weightlifting and even swimming, which required high physical quality of athletes. At that time, the sport was also played in a relatively narrow area, except for a few cases, which were basically limited to competitions between some European countries.

There is a gap of nearly twenty years in the "stereotype" period of male and female competitive gymnastics. The competition methods of men's six events (floor exercise, pommel horse, horizontal bar, parallel bars, rings and vault) were finalized at the 11th Olympic Games. The competition, scoring and scoring methods of women's four events (floor exercise, balance beam, uneven bars and vault) were not decided until about 1952. Since then, the method of competitive gymnastics competition has been relatively stable. Although it has been revised, it has not changed much and has been used until today.
