5 What is Aerobic Gymnastics? Aerobic gymnastics is the ability to perform continuous, complex and high intensity movement patterns to music, which originate from Traditional aerobic exercise. The routine must demonstrate continuous movement, flexibility, strength and the utilization of the seven basic steps, with perfectly executed difficulty elements. Definition of Aerobic Movement Patterns It is a combination of the seven basic aerobic steps together with arm movements; all performed to music to create dynamic, rhythmic and continuous sequences of high and low impact movements. What are the 7 basic steps? March Jog Jack Knee Up Flick Kick (Skip) High leg Kick Lunge AEROSTAR 1 and AEROSTAR 2 These 2 levels were the introduction to Aerobic Gymnastics for the Schools Program. It has now been incorporated into The Aerobic Program as entry levels into Aerobic Gymnastics. The Level 1 Coaches Manual deals with Aerostar 1 & 2, Aerobic level 1 to 3 routines and Step Routine. All these routines have prescribed music and elements. 5

6 Aerostar 1 & 2 and Level 1 The Aerostar 1 & 2 and Level 1 routines are compulsory routines. The whole routine is prescribed with compulsory legs and arms choreography. As well as patterns for pairs, trios and groups. Lifts are compulsory in Aerostar 1 & 2 but Level 1 you do your own lift at the beginning of the routine.

34 Execution Every movement must be performed with perfect execution. That means that the correct posture must be maintained throughout the routine. Body alignment must be maintained while moving. Arm movements must show a clear starting and ending position for every movement. Feet and arms must be fully extended when required. Toes must be pointed to show full extension. In Pairs, Trio s and Groups gymnasts must move as a unit. Artistic Composition: To assist with the arms choreography for Level 2 and Level 3 there are some examples of arm positions with the 7 basic steps. Coaches may use any variety and variation of these positions. This is in no means all the possible arms positions that can be used. Arm movements must be combined and each leg movement must have a corresponding arm movement. Arm movements must be linked in a smooth and dynamic way. Arm movements must show a combination of short and long levers. The more complex the arm movements are performed with the correct legs choreography, the higher the artistic, composition score will be received. Below are some examples of some arm movements that can be used. These are just a few examples but by no means an exhaustive list. Space Gymnasts must follow the prescribed (set) floor pattern of the routines. For pairs, trio s and groups coaches must change the patterns and formation of the gymnasts but the overall floor pattern must stay the same. 34

35 Presentation Gymnasts must have an athletic impression with all movements being sharp and clear. They must also show self-confidence, physical energy and showmanship. Facial expressions must be natural. Eye contact must be made with the audience, judges and partners for pairs, trio and group. Timing and Synchronization Timing is the ability to work on the beat of the music. Gymnasts must perform all movements to the music. Synchronization is for pairs, trios and groups and is the ability for all the gymnasts to perform the moves at the same time. They must move as one. Lifts A lift is defined as: when one or more competitors are lifted off the ground by partner (s), showing a precise shape. A lift may involve any combination of competitors. A lift may demonstrate different shapes and different formations but these must be performed at the same time. A lift begins when a competitor is lifted off the floor and will finish when all the competitors are down on the floor. The lifted person touching the floor while lifted will be considered as a fall. A lift may NOT be higher than one gymnast on top of another. Step Technique When stepping onto the step ensure that your foot is flat and the whole foot is on the step (heel on step) When stepping off the step, toe ball heel (heel on the floor) Always stay close to the step Body position is upright. Do not lean forward or back When body is turned to the side always step with the leg closest to the step Step dimension s: 96cm x 38cm x 15cm high. 35
