Book excerpt: Excerpt from Athletic Gymnastic Exercises Gums of every description formed a most important part of the national events of the ancient Greeks and Romans. The principal of the four games publicly solemnised in Greece were the Olympic; but games of different kinds were exercised by the early Romans, which consisted of chariot and horse-racin g, combats, and theatrical sports. They likewise exercised them selves before bathing in leaping, running, throwing the javelin, quoit, &c. The athletic exercises practised among these nations consisted of wrestling, boxing, and other such exercises, requiring great strength. Prizes were given to those who came of victors, likewise many privileges were granted to them. The Olympic games, the chief of the festivals of the Greeks, were celebrated every fifth year, and consisted of religious ceremonies, athletic contests, and races.

Download or read book The Theory of Gymnastics written by J. Lindhard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-14 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1939, this volume translated into English the Danish work ‘Den Specielle Gymnastrikteon’. Its author, Professor Lindhard, noted the still-young field of theoretical gymnastics in comparison to its physical counterpart, with the only prior major work being that of Ling from 1800. Lindhard developed upon that work to revolutionise the 1930s interpretation of Ling’s views. The author of several physiological books, Lindhard sought to explain how gymnastics was a means of developing both physical form and moral qualities. He emphasised the importance of guidance towards ethical and aesthetical gymnastics and explored the differences between men, women and children with regards to each form of exercise. This was achieved through the classification, description and contemplation of exercises such as corrective, balance and athletic exercises along with demonstrative illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dick's Art of Gymnastics: Containing Practical and Progressive Exercises Applicable to All the Principal Apparatus of a Well-Appointed Gymnasium Plainly Described The importance of physical training for the development of muscle and strengthening the human frame has always been freely admitted, and in modern times athletic exercises and field sports form a necessary adjunct to a thorough or collegiate education. In the early and palmy days of Ancient Greece, periodical exhibitions of individual prowess in feats combining strength, agility and skill were deemed of national importance, and the celebrated Games at Olympia and other prominent places always attracted crowds of visitors, and were highly appreciated by all who assisted at them. In all these games the contestants for supremacy and fame were stripped almost nude, and hence the term Gymnast is applied to the votaries of Athletic skill, being derived from a Greek word signifying naked. Those ancient Games included Racing, Wrestling, and various field Sports, which in modern times are classed under Athletics, the term Gymnastics being specially given to the exercises performed by the aid of those appliances which constitute the modern Gymnasium.
