"Gymnastics" is a general term for all gymnastic events, not the name of any specific event. Based on the purpose and tasks, gymnastics can be divided into two categories: basic gymnastics and competitive gymnastics. Basic gymnastics refers to a type of gymnastics with relatively simple movements and techniques. Its main purpose and task is to strengthen the body and cultivate good body posture. Its main target audience is the general public. The most common ones include radio gymnastics and fitness gymnastics for preventing and treating various occupational diseases.

As the name suggests, competitive gymnastics refers to a type of gymnastics whose main purpose is to win, achieve excellent results, and compete for medals in competitions. This type of gymnastics movements are difficult, technically complex, and somewhat thrilling. Those who engage in this type of gymnastics training are mainly athletes. At present, competitive gymnastics includes five sports: artistic gymnastics, artistic gymnastics, aerobics, skills and trampoline. Among them, the men's competitive gymnastics events include floor exercise, pommel horse, rings, vaulting horse, parallel bars and horizontal bar, while the women's events include vaulting horse, uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise. Since competitive gymnastics has the longest history and can be said to be the "big brother" of competitive gymnastics, people nowadays are still accustomed to using "gymnastics" to refer to "competitive gymnastics."
