Exercises (3201)
Roll forwards and backwards
Floor and apparatus gymnastics
The two rolls are performed one after the other:
Roll fw:
From an upright standing position, perform a forward roll and land back on your feet without using your hands to stand up.
Roll rw:
From a standing position, roll backwards and place your feet on the floor as quickly and as close as possible behind your hands to return to a standing position. Curve the upper body from the top of the head to the tailbone like a tortoise shell during the entire rolling movement. Roll over the upper back and shoulders and not over the head.
The participants practise the form of movement independently using series of pictures or based on the instructor's demonstration of the exercise. The instructor (or a partner) gives feedback, provides support and checks that the exercise is being performed correctly.

Roll with raised arms and legs in lateral position left/right
Power
Individual work
Lay on your side, stretch your legs and arms and lift them slightly off the floor. Pull your navel towards your spine and consciously tense your abdomen and then change your side position without changing your body position (roll alternately to the right or left side).
Attention:
Stretched arms and legs practically form a line.
Lighten:
Just hold the position with your arms and legs raised and switch sides from time to time.
Harden:
Add weight to your arms and/or legs.

Group work
2 teams
Two teams face each other behind two defined lines. In the centre of the two lines are 2-3 gym balls/kin balls/volleyballs, which are to be rolled behind the opponent's baseline or a defined line with targeted shots/throws by the participants (by hand, with the foot or with the playing equipment). Balls may only be shot at the target ball from behind one's own baseline. The throwing line, but not the centre line, may be crossed to retrieve the throwing balls. There are numerous balls in both throwing zones at the start of the game (e.g. handball, football, basketball, volleyball, floorball, etc.).
Caution:
It is forbidden to shoot/throw directly at the opposing team's players and care must be taken not to be hit by approaching balls when retrieving them.

Rotation of the upper body in frontal stance to the wall (left) ► standing upper body rotation
Power
Individual work
Stand upright in front of a wall, shoulder-width apart (facing the wall), with arms bent (approximately 90 degrees at the elbow joint), holding a medicine ball in front of the body with both hands slightly below chest height. The upper body is turned/rotated as far as possible to the left side (gaze follows the movement), while the legs and arms remain stable (lift the heel on the opposite side - right - as far as possible). Then swing the upper body back to the starting position and at the same time throw the ball (sideways) against the wall. Catch the ball and return to the starting position to restart the exercise.
Attention:
Tighten your stomach, keep your back straight, your pelvis remains in place and only your upper body moves.
Lighten:
Smaller movements (less rotation); lighter ball.
Harden:
Additional weight (on the arms); heavier ball; unstable base.

Power
Individual work
Stand upright, shoulder-width apart, in front of a wall (facing the wall), with arms bent (approximately 90 degrees at the elbow joint), holding a medicine ball in front of the body with both hands slightly below chest height.

Power
Individual work
Stand upright in front of a wall (facing the wall horizontally, left shoulder closer to the wall), with arms bent (approximately 90 degrees at the elbow joint), hold a medicine ball in front of the body with both hands slightly below chest height.
