Gymnastics began in ancient Greece. The ancient Greeks considered physical fitness to be a very important part of their life and they built gymnasia and courtyards in every city of ancient Greece for the purpose of jumping, running and wrestling.
Meanwhile, the Roman Empire began to ascend and Greek gymnastics began to give way to military training. The wooden horse which is used in modern-day gymnastics was introduced by the ancient Romans. In the year 393 A.D., the Olympic Games were abolished by Emperor Theodosius and gymnastics was, therefore, abolished.
Gymnastics was revived in the period between the latter half of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth century. The credit for the revival of gymnastics goes to two physical instructors, namely Johann Friedrich GutsMuth, who was born in the year 1759 and died at the age of 80 in the year 1839, and Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, who was born in the year 1778 and died at the age of 74 in the year 1852.
