Artistic

Artistic acrobatics is a discipline in which athletes perform short routines (typically between 30 seconds to two minutes) on different apparatus, including the floor, vault, uneven bars, and balance beam. These routines are judged based on factors such as difficulty, execution, and artistry. Competitive artistic acrobatics is included in the Olympic Games and other major international events.

Aerial

Rhythmic acrobatics is a discipline of gymnastics in which athletes perform choreographed routines that combine elements of ballet, gymnastics, and apparatus manipulation (such as ropes, hoops, balls, clubs, and ribbons). These routines are performed to music and are judged based on factors such as difficulty, execution, artistry, and overall impression. The students showcase their skills and elegance through a choreographed routine set to music, which is judged based on factors such as difficulty, execution, artistry, and overall impression.

Vault

Trampoline acrobatics is a discipline in which athletes perform acrobatic maneuvers on a trampoline. These maneuvers can include flips, twists, and somersaults, and are performed both individually and in synchronised pairs or groups.

Trampoline acrobatics is divided into two categories:

  • Synchronised Trampoline: where two students perform the same routine on two adjacent trampolines and are judged based on their timing, coordination, and synchronisation.
  • Individual Trampoline: where students perform a routine individually and are judged based on their difficulty, execution, and overall impression.

The trampoline provides a springboard for the students to perform their acrobatic maneuvers, with help of the trampoline’s bouncy surface, it allows them to reach a great height and perform more complex maneuvers.
