Gymnastics - Pre 1850
| Special
forms of gymnastics have always been employed in military training.
Very early in its modern history, especially in Germany, gymnastics was
seen not only as a discipline that lay at the heart of physical
education for children, but one that strengthened military
abilities as well as national pride. |
