競技體操
競技體操是國際奧林匹克運動會重點比賽項目之一。體操運動歷史悠久，早在公元二千多年前，古埃及的古書註釋中，已有人做體操的翻騰動作。

現代體操則起源於十八世紀，第一屆奧運會在1896年開始了最早的體操比賽，直至1936年第十一屆奧運會才有男子六項比賽，而女子四項比賽則到1952年第十七屆奧運會才開始確定下來。
所謂男子六項是指：自由體操、跳馬（縱馬）、雙槓、單槓、吊環及鞍馬
女子四項是指：跳馬（橫馬）、高低槓、平衡木、自由體操

競技體操也是一種追求完美、向難度動作自我挑戰的運動，在各個項目中將個人的潛能發揮，邁向著個人憧憬的理想目標的運動。

由於競技體操本身有獨特性及優美性，兒童及青少年通過體操練習，可培養他們勇敢、果斷、堅毅、頑強、克服困難的意志品質。更能使他們身體得到全面均衡健康的發展。再者在觀看此種藝術與體育相結合的運動時，使人看得目瞪口呆，拍手叫絕，引人入勝。
