Aerobics
Aerobic Gymnastics is perhaps the most dynamic and energetic of all the gymnastic disciplines. It is the ability to perform high intensity complex aerobic movement patterns to music. The movements should originate from traditional aerobic exercises. Routines should demonstrate strength, flexibility and dance using the seven basic aerobic steps.
Both male and female gymnasts compete as individuals; in pairs; trios and 6 teams. Gymnasts compete from the age of 9 years and many far beyond the age of 18. Unlike any other discipline, the gymnasts wear aerobic trainers and perform upon a sprung wooden floor.
In competition, judges look for complex, high intensive choreographed routines, with perfectly executed elements. Routines are performed to up-tempo music and gymnasts utilise dynamic jumps and leaps - to feet, splits or in push up; static supports; a variety of push up moves and technical skills, demonstrating excellent flexibility. Routines therefore evidence speed, power and strength as well as flexibility, whilst the gymnast continuously moves around the floor, interpreting the rhythm, tempo and accents of the music.
Aerobic Gymnastics is great fun to train and compete but also to watch. The upbeat music constantly keeps the audience alert and involved with the gymnast, whose aim is to captivate, with enthusiasm and dynamism. Audiences are always intrigued by the speed and cardio-vascular nature of an individual performance but it is the pairs, trios and groups with their excellent synchronisation, interactions, lifts and ever changing aerobic movement patterns that continue to enthral spectators world wide.
