Annotation

The fundamental pillars of the subject revolve around competence in leadership and organization in the application of various gymnastic exercises with diverse focuses. These exercises encompass a wide range of fundamental gymnastic skills and methodological principles for developing motor abilities in gymnastics.

Everything culminates in connecting the development of motor skills and the learning of skills in gymnastic motor- functional preparation. This enables students to apply strengthening, supporting, hanging, rotating, jumping, and landing sub-preparation from gymnastic motor-functional preparation to physical education in schools.

Basic gymnastics also offers a rich repository of exercises present in all gymnastic activities, which can be applied to other physical interventions unrelated to gymnastic activities. Lastly, the subject includes fundamental theoretical knowledge regarding body posture and the biomechanics of physical exercises applied in practice, particularly in gymnastic activities.
