  Gymnastics - MSN Encarta
Artistic gymnastics consists of prescribed sets of events, such as the vault, which are scored separately by judges to determine individual winners.
Rhythmic gymnastics consists of several events in which the gymnasts use objects such as balls and hoops while performing choreographed routines, which are scored separately and then added together to determine an overall winner.

 Split Leap Article
Once your gymnast is in a split ask her to bend her back leg so that her back foot is lifted from the floor and she reaches a 90 degree angle with that leg.
If you have discovered that your gymnast’s hips have not remained square while she performed this simple evaluation, you may be able to easily help her correct her hip placement by instructing her to pull the hip on the same side of the back leg forward.
Focus on your gymnast's hip position in relation to her shoulders in all stretches of this nature because once you allow a gymnast to turn at the hips rather than remaining square you will be allowing the muscles to move and gain flexibility in a different direction than intended.

 USA Gymnastics Online: Technique: Small Hand Apparatus For 3-5 Year Olds
For example, if the only time the gymnast tries to hold her stomach in and maintain a flat back is in a handstand on bars and a scale on beam, then there are going to be problems with other types of skills.
If a gymnast is standing in line waiting to do a floor pass with her belly out and back arched, she will be unable to do a tight body round-off, much less anything after that; so the whole pass will most likely be loose and sloppy.
If the gymnast is reminded to "make a calf muscle," it usually helps her with the tightening of the Achilles; however, the best way to achieve this correctly is by "hands on" work of the coach or dance teacher.

 Flat feet information from Wikipedia - WrongDiagnosis.com
Flat feet, also called pes planus or fallen arches, is the condition in humans in which arch of the foot collapses, with the entire sole of the foot coming into complete or near-complete contact with the ground.
Treatment may include using arch supports/orthotics, foot gymnastics or other exercises as recommended by a podiatrist or other physician.
Although frequently a cause of worry by anxious parents, who think the appearance of a flat foot is not "normal" in their developing child, a flat foot is well within the normal range of foot types.

Training of the feet, especially by foot gymnastics and going barefoot on varying terrain, can facilitate the formation of arches during childhood, with a developed arch occurring for most by the age of age four to six years of age.
Although frequently a cause of worry by anxious parents who think the cosmetic appearance of a flat foot is not "normal" in their developing child, it is important to repeat that a flat foot is well within the normal range of foot types.
Rigid flatfoot, a condition where the sole of the foot is rigidly flat even when a person is not standing, can be legitimate cause for concern, however.

 Flat feet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flat feet of a child are expected to develop proper arches, as shown by feet of the mother.
Training of the feet, especially by foot gymnastics and going barefoot on varying terrain, can facilitate the formation of arches during childhood, with a developed arch occurring for most by the age of four to six years.
Recent medical research indicates that arch support inserts and certain heel cups, inserted into a growing child's shoes, can facilitate the proper development of the longitudinal arch, by holding the foot in the correct neutral position while it is growing.

 More on Foot
The plural of foot is feet, and this pair is one of seven mutated English plurals.
The structures of the human foot and hand are variations on the same basic five-digit anatomy, in common with many other vertebrates.
The foot provides a convenient way to measure short distances on the ground, by placing one foot directly in front of the other; this led to the adoption of the foot as a unit of length.
