Gymnastics is basically a competitive sport that competes for skillful handling of equipment. Just as other sports compete to see how well a player can score a goal with a ball, it is a contest to see how well various tools are used to fit the body. (See Episode 851 of this corner, ‘Why do we say ‘gymnastics’?) 헤라카지노도메인

To compete in gymnastics, you need a lot of equipment. This equipment is collectively referred to as ‘gymnastics apparatus’. In gymnastics, the word ‘apparatus’ refers to the equipment used in competitions, such as chopping boards and balance beams. Utensils, a combination of ‘ware’ and ‘equipment’, refer to household items, vessels, and tools. It is a Chinese character word that has been used for a long time in the Chinese character culture such as Korea, China, and Japan. The English word for equipment in gymnastics is ‘Apparatus’, which is derived from the Latin word ‘Apparātus’. This word is a combination of the prefix ‘ad’ meaning direction and ‘parare’ meaning preparation, and means a device or item. It is presumed to have been used in its current meaning in English since the beginning of the 17th century.

In gymnastics, ‘Apparatus’ has the meaning of ‘event’ along with the word apparatus. It is used as the name of an individual event together with the name of an individual organization. Gymnastics consists of 6 events including men’s floor, pommel horse, ring, vault, parallel bars and horizontal bar, women’s uneven bars, balance beam There are 4 events including balance beam, floor, and jumping box. All of them use the same name as the instrument name.

Gymnastics originally originated in ancient Greece as a sport in which young men underwent intensive physical and mental training for war. The English word ‘gymnastics’ is derived from the Greek word ‘gymnos’ which means naked. It was an appropriate sport for young people to train naked, do floor gymnastics, and compete against each other with equipment. Modern gymnastics originated in Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. As in ancient Greece, it was born when physical fitness was considered an integral part of citizenship and patriotism. Friedrich Jan (1778-1852), a former Prussian soldier known as the ‘Father of Gymnastics’, created gymnastics by embracing the national pride and educational concepts of the Age of Enlightenment. After Prussia was invaded by France, Jan regarded the defeat of the German army as a national humiliation and created gymnastics to strengthen the people’s stamina in order to uplift his countrymen and unite young people. Jan created a gymnastics system called ‘Turnen’ and invented new equipment for students, including parallel bars, high bars, balance beams, and massage lights. Each apparatus served as a medium for the gymnast to demonstrate her strength and agility.

The early German gymnastics pioneers, who fled to the United States in opposition to the German monarchy and longing for freedom, led the spread of gymnastics in the United States. After the founding of the International Gymnastics Federation in 1881 and adoption as an official event by Couberdin at the 1st Olympic Games in Athens in 1896, gymnastics established a standardized scoring and event system. Artistic gymnastics has established itself as a universal event by deciding the names of various apparatuses as events.
