A Review of Swedish Gymnastics

Originally published in 1891, this pioneering study of Swedish gymnastics provides a detailed history and analysis of a revolutionary approach to physical education. Written by Theodore Hough, a leading figure in the development of gymnastics in the United States, this book offers practical guidance for teachers and coaches seeking to implement this system in their own schools and communities. With illustrations and descriptions of dozens of exercises, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in physical fitness or the history of sports.
