| Abstract | Povijest gimnastike je iznimno duga jer su gimnastiku, u nekom obliku, prakticirali čak
i Grci u starom vijeku. Kroz povijest, uloga gimnastike se mijenjala, ali je gimnastika opstala i
dan danas te se smatra jednim od najpopularnijih sportova današnjice te je izrazito uvažena u
cijelom svijetu. Danas gimnastiku dijelimo na: gimnastiku za sve, sportsku gimnastiku,
ritmičku gimnastiku, trampolin, akrobatiku, aerobiku i parkour. Svaka grana gimnastike ima
svoja pravila i norme, svoje posebitosti, prednosti i nedostatke koje ju čine posebnom,
odvojenom disciplinom gimnastike. Najpopularnije i najrasprostranjenije grane gimnastike su
sportska i ritmička gimnastika. Gimnastiku smatramo baznim sportom, ona utječe na razvoj
svih antropoloških obilježja koje su potrebne za savladavanje svakodnevnih životnih prepreka.
Postoje istraživanja koja pokazuju pozitivan utjecaj gimnastike na većinu antropoloških
obilježja, a posebno na motoričke karakteristike učenika. Pri razvoju motoričkih karakteristika,
vrlo je važan primjereni izbor tjelesnih vježbi, a za taj izbor zadužen je učitelj. Nije novost kako
je uloga učitelja u odgoju i obrazovanju velika. Isto tako, učitelj može puno utjecati na
učenikovu percepciju sporta, sportskog načina života, svakodnevne tjelesne aktivnosti, ali i na
sami odabir sporta koji bi bio najprikladniji za učenika. Samim time, stavlja se i velika
odgovornost na učitelje. Gimnastika ima puno pozitivnih strana i utjecaja, te vjerujem da
učenicima može biti vrlo zanimljiva, a na učitelju je da pronađe način kako bi taj, na prvi pogled
vrlo komplicirani i teški sport, približio učenicima i motivirao ih na daljnje bavljenje
gimnastikom. |
| Abstract (english) | The history of gymnastics is extremely long because gymnastics was practiced by Greek
people back in the old age. Throughout the history, the role of gymnastics changed but
gymnastics maintained as a sport until today and it is considered one of the most popular and
most appreciated sports in the world nowadays. Gymnastics is divided into: gymnastics for all,
artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, trampoline gymnastics, acrobatic gymnastics, aerobic
gymnastics and parkour. Each discipline of gymnastics has its own rules, specialties, good and
bad sides that makes it special, divided discipline of gymnastics. The most popular disciplines
are artistic and rhythmic gymnastics. Gymnastics, in general, is considered a type of sports that
affects all anthropological characteristics that are crucial for everyday living. There are
numerous researches showing how gymnastics has a positive impact to most of anthropological
characteristics, especially on the development of motor skills. While developing motor skills,
it is very important to pick the right physical activities for pupils, and that is of course, up to a
teacher, to make the right choice. It is no news that the teachers have a very big and important
role in student’s life. That’s why the teacher can also affect a lot on student’s perception of
sport, athlete’s way of life, everyday physical activity but also on the decision of picking the
right sport for themselves. With all that said, there’s a great responsibility for teachers to do
that right. Gymnastics has many positive sides and affects, and I believe it can be very
interesting for pupils. It is up to teachers to find a way how to bring gymnastics closer to pupils
and to motivate them to choose gymnastics as everyday physical activity. |
