Rhythmic gymnastics, a interweaving between body and technical

Abstract

The Rhythmic Gymnastics (RG) appears to be a highly technical activity. This evidence, the indisputable principle, is due to the fact that it is a sport where the technique is the most visible foundation, when viewed superficially. Therefore this study aims to reflect on the links between body and technique in RG, in addition to expand the discussion about sports considered artistic in the universe of Physical Education. Therefore, we conducted a qualitative study of phenomenological approach that used description, interpretation/ understanding of a Russian video set in the Olympics games in London-2012. This team was selected to be the main reference of the sport in the last Olympic cycle. This broad understanding, we believe that the body in GR is not subjected to the technique simply, but to enter it reflexively, creates and recreates unusual movements that subvert the impositions of high performance sport.
