Publisher's Synopsis
Here is an exciting new edition of this very practical text whose comprehensive coverage of skill presentation, safety, spotting, and teaching techniques gives students a solid foundation in the fundamentals of teaching gymnastics.
It's the text that emphasizes individual development—not a “perfect 10” ! The new Third Edition includes discussion of the new plyometric training concept in the conditioning chapter … places “skills sheets” in each chapter … offers a wealth of excellent new illustrations … and combines it all in a compact, workbook style presentation with perforated pages that are easy to use for both student and instructor.
Teaching Basic Gymnastics, Third Edition, offers future physical education teachers a virtual blueprint for developing students' skills in individual and dual activities, pyramids, and modern rhythmic gymnastics … as well as for guiding their performance on gymnastic apparatus.
In addition, it offers realistic “tear out” Worksheets for Grading that cover testing procedures for all gymnastics skills presented.
