A ginástica, or gymnastics, is a sport that involves exercises and performances on various apparatuses. It focuses on strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination. Athletes, known as gymnasts, perform routines that can include tumbling, vaulting, and working on bars or beams. There are different types of ginástica, including artistic, rhythmic, and acrobatic. Artistic ginástica is often seen in competitions like the Olympics, where gymnasts showcase their skills on equipment such as the balance beam and floor exercise. Rhythmic ginástica combines elements of dance with apparatuses like ribbons and hoops, while acrobatic ginástica emphasizes teamwork and acrobatic skills.
