Introduction and history of gymnastics.
All ancient societies have been documented as having various aspects of gymnastics in their overall pattern of health and conditioning. In 700 BC the Athenians added gymnastics to Olympic competition; television coverage of gymnastics in the modern Olympics, combined with a heightened interest in physical fitness in general, has led to a resurgence of interest in this sport.
