PREFACE TO TEACHERS
The p h y sical education movement of today has come a
long way towards f u lf illin g th e d e sire s and demands of th e
secondary stu d en t. More and more stu d en ts are spending
time in various phases of the sp o rts program . The secondary
schools are now o ffe rin g to the stu d en ts more a c tiv itie s
of an in d iv id u a l n atu re.
A lthough em phasis s t i l l tends to favor sp o rts of a
team n a tu re , more e ffo rt is being made today to recognize
the in te re s ts and needs of each in d iv id u a l.
This sy lla b u s, on the fundam entals of gym nastics,
which is p resen ted h ere, is designed to meet the needs of
the in d iv id u al stu d en t. Most group sp o rts and a c tiv itie s
m iss th e arm s, sh o u ld ers, c h e st, and back m uscles. No
s u b s titu te has been found fo r ap paratus and tum bling
a c tiv itie s to accom plish th is o b je c tiv e . P ic tu re s have
been included along w ith each tric k to give you an under­
standing of the a c tu a l tric k and to c la r if y the d ire c tio n s
given on how the tric k is perform ed.
The in te n t of th is sy llab u s is to supply those
teach ers and stu d en ts who are in te re s te d in gym nastics
a s ta rtin g p o in t from which to work. The tric k s are lis te d
in order of d if f ic u lty , but teach in g methods and procedures
have been le f t o u t. I t Is not a course of study but should
vii
be used to a id the learn in g and understanding of the u s e r.
The gym nastic c la ss of H untington Park High School in
Los A ngeles, were asked to l i s t the b a sic problem s in
perform ing tric k s re la te d to beginning gym nastics. These
problem s were c la s s ifie d by the au thor and arranged in to a
ta b le of contents* The same stu d en ts were then asked to
answer th ese problem s and the answ ers appear in the d ire c tio n
se c tio n of the sy lla b u s. The perform ance and ev alu atio n
sectio n s were suggested by the same source.
