Gymnastics for Women. Fourth Edition.

The purpose of this book is to bring together in one volume the information necessary for a complete gymnastics program for women. It is divided into four major sections. Part one deals with conditioning the body, the importance of dance, and a short history of women's gymnastics. Part two covers the techniques and equipment for modern rhythmic gymnastics. In part three the methods of teaching artistic gymnastics, tumbling, and trampoline are outlined. The final section discusses gymnastics curriculum, demonstrations, meets, and judging. The book is illustrated with line drawings of the movements under discussion. (JD)
