Answer:

Types of gymnastics:

• Artistic Gymnastics
• Rhythmic Gymnastics
• Trampoline Gymnastics
• Power Tumbling
• Acrobatic Gymnastics

Explanation:

• Artistic Gymnastics:  The traditional form of gymnastics. Artistic gymnastics is a category for both men and women. There are three major types of creative gymnastics competitions, namely individual, team, and individual all-around. Floor exercise, balance beam, uneven bar, and vault are the four events in which female artistic gymnasts compete while the men have six events: floor exercise, vault, pommel horse, high bar, parallel bar and still ring.
• Rhythmic Gymnastics: This only women's event was first introduced at the 1984 Summer Olympics. Rhythmic gymnastics is like a combination of ballet dance and gymnastics. The focus is on the aesthetics of the music and moves, rather than acrobatics. Participants can use any of the five tools provided: ribbons, hoops, ropes, clubs, and balls. In the group category, up to six members can perform with more than two instruments of their choice.
• Trampoline Gymnastics: As you might have predicted, this is gymnastics with the help of a trampoline. Athletes jump on the trampoline and use the airtime to perform flips and turns. It is an individual program performed by athletes of all genders. It entered the Olympics in 2000.
• Power Tumbling:  This is a gymnastics discipline in which each player needs to perform a series of acrobatic skills down a 25 meters long sprung track.
• Acrobatic Gymnastics: Acrobatic gymnastics has existed in various forms and in different cultures for thousands of years. Acrobatic artifacts have been mentioned in the Bronze Age, with the epics of Homer and their involvement in the Ancient Greek Symposia and the Han Dynastic Harvest Festivals of China. In addition, it served as entertainment for European courts during the Middle Ages.
