Annotation
The core focus of this course lies in developing competencies related to the leadership and organization of various gymnastic exercises with a diverse range of orientations. These exercises encompass learning a broad spectrum of fundamental gymnastic skills and methodological principles for enhancing motor abilities in gymnastics. The course culminates in the integration of motor skill development and learning specific gymnastic skills, thus enabling students to apply strengthening, supporting, hanging, rotational, rebounding, and landing sub-preparations from gymnastic motor-functional preparation into their specialization in coaching.
Additionally, Basic Gymnastics offers a rich reservoir of exercises found in various gymnastic activities. These exercises can be applied to other physical interventions not directly related to gymnastic activities. Lastly, the course incorporates fundamental theoretical knowledge concerning body posture and the biomechanics of physical exercises, which are directly applicable in the practical context of gymnastic activities.
Overall, the course aims to equip students with a comprehensive skill set and knowledge base, enabling them to effectively lead and organize gymnastic exercises, understand gymnastic principles, and apply these competencies in various contexts, including coaching.
