BRITISH OCTOBER 2011 GYMNASTICS OFFICIAL MAGAZINE Mimi Frankie Cesar Jones Keziah RG World Gore Championships Warm-Up ...with the President OCTOBER 2011 he trilogy of World Gymnastics Championships leading to Olympic Qualifications is now under way. The first of these was the World Rhythmic Championships held recently in TFrance and we now know that GBR will be represented at the Olympic Games. Currently, our two artistic teams are seeking qualification in Tokyo with the final event being the Trampoline World Championships in Birmingham with Kat Driscoll being an outstanding prospect for qualification. You now have the opportunity of feeling part of ‘our’ team as we launch “I am BG” - which I am sure will bring together our gymnastics community. This will lead, in the coming months, to London 2012 Club Starter packs, which will enable your club to embrace the atmosphere of the Olympic Games. The British Olympic Association have asked for five representatives in different categories to participate in the London 2012 Torch Relay. We have put names forward for this - look out for an update soon! I had the opportunity of visiting the magnificent Basildon Sports Village the new home of South Essex Gymnastics Club. Not only is this an outstanding facility for gymnastics, but also for swimming and athletics. Basildon Council are to be congratulated on their enterprise and vision in providing these world class facilities. With new centres at Europa and Brentwood now on the horizon, the stage is set to embrace one of the key Olympic aims to increase participation. This is reflected once again as our membership increases year on year with 71 clubs registered with British Gymnastics during the 2010/11 membership period and nearly 14,000 new club members. British Gymnastics and its clubs should be proud of their achievements and contribution to the health and welfare of the community. I am sure that is why organisations such as Sport England remain committed to working with, and supporting, British Gymnastics, as do UK PAUL GARBER Sport through their International programme PRESIDENT and our sponsors. It is quite simple we BRITISH Gymnastics deliver what we promise.

In any physical activity there is always an element of risk and the potential for injuries to occur. As with the teaching of all aspects of physical education there are certain common sense procedures which staff can follow to minimize the risk of injury to a student: A) Ensure that a safe environment is provided at all times. i)Ensure that the equipment is correctly assembled and suitably padded with landing mats appropriate for the apparatus and type of activity. ii) Ensure that there is sufficient space to move between apparatus. iii) Adjust the height/width of the apparatus to suit the ability of the gymnast. B) Supervision i) Gymnastic activities should only be performed under the supervision of a qualified person ii) When additional supporters – assistants – are used, ensure that they are physically strong enough and competent to assist. C) Personal Care i) Do not wear jewellery in the gymnasium ii) Do not wear loose baggy clothing or clothing which will restrict movement iii) Always warm up before performing gymnastics exercises iv) Do not permit the gymnast to attempt exercises or skills for which they have not been prepared v) Do not attempt to perform gymnastics’ skills when the body is fatigued vi) Ensure that the gymnast has the required fitness to perform the task in hand vii) The ability to land or fall safely will greatly reduce the anxiety and will reduce the risk of injury Accidents in the gymnasium may be caused through ignorance, stupidity and horseplay.

Flexibility is important in injury prevention and helping prevent the every day aches and pains. In contrast, prescriptions for maximizing strength and minimizing hypertrophy usually involve heavier loads, smaller numbers of repetitions, and longer periods of rest. Kyla Ross performs a jaegar on the uneven bars. Gymnasts are graded on the skill level of the routine as well as how well the movements flow. Have you ever heard of the sport called power tumbling?

Research was conducted on a sample of 32 jumps. Sixteen jumps at apparatus (vault) finals competition were performed at the Olympic Games 2000. in Sydney, Australia. Other sixteen jumps were performed also in the vault finals, but at the Olympic Games 2016. in Rio, Brazil. Analyses of the vaults were done by video. Variables which are used was divid- ed in two parts: type of the jumps (2, 3, 4, 5) and rotation (180°, 360°, 540°, 720°, 900°). Type of jumps was: 2=Handsprings, 3=Tsukahara, 4=Yurchenko, 5= Half-turn entry. Differences between the Olympic Games in type of jumps and rotations were calculated by T-test for in- dependent samples and Mann-Whitney U Test for independent sample. Results of Mann- Whitney U Test have shown that at the level of statistical significance of p<,05 that there were differences between the Olympic Games in variable rotation. It seems that today´s vault is performed with much more rotation around longitudinal (LA) axis of the body, and around transversal it seems that they are the same despite the new vault table.

    Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND July 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 English Gymnastic Terminology: Semantic and Structural Features Natalia Nikolaevna Bobyreva Associate Professor Institute of International Relations, History and Oriental Studies Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, Kazan, Russia E-Mail: [email protected] Contact: +79033882044 Abstract The importance of researching the material is determined by the fact that the sports terminology consists of many subsystems corresponding to particular kinds of sport. Each of them is characterized by specific features of form, meaning and functioning, as well as unique history and etymology of language items. This paper is aimed at covering the structural and semantic characteristics of English gymnastic terms. The leading methods applied within the research are description, component, structural and contextual analyses, alongside studying print and electronic dictionaries and glossaries of sports vocabulary, special literature of different styles and genres, interviews with people professionally involved in this sphere. The set of gymnastic terms is not homogeneous, and comprises one-word and multi-word items, eponymous terms, borrowings, etc. The research of gymnastic terms is of interest for terminological studies and sociolinguistics from the point of view of terminological systems development, role of gymnastic terms in the system of sports terminology, models of word and phrase formation and translation of special texts. Keywords: gymnastic terminology, term, sports terminology, Language for Specific Purposes, sublanguage of sport, special discourse. http://www.ijhcs.com/index.php/ijhcs/index Page 118 Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND July 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 1.
