As you have seen in the recent post 'Yoga V.S Contortion' you come to think of
the differences between Gymnastics and Contortion.😄
Are they even the same thing?
Before we answer that question, you need to know the definitio between Gymnastics and Contortion.
Happy reading!😃
Gymnastics
Gymnastics is a sport that includes physical exercises requiring balance, strength, flexibility, agility, coordination, and endurance.
Contortion
The skill of twisting and bending one's body into strange and unnatural positions,
as a form of entertainment.
Now for the differences!
1.Equipment varies
For gymnastics, the equipment starts with beams,
uneven bars and vault.
Of course these are only a few!
Contortion, on the other hand, consists
of hand balancing canes, aerial hoops and aerial silk, just to name a few.😄
2.Flexibility level
For the flexibility level, contortion takes on the lead.
Gymnastics also needs flexibility, But contortion needs a lot more!
Contortion needs spinal flexibility as you are twisting into different poses.
3.Strength level
Gymnastics needs more strength as the gymnast needs to do a lot of
tumbling,stretching etc.
Contortion needs strength as well but not as much as gymnastics😊
That's all we have for today!
Hope you enjoyed it!😄
