Degymming

Degymming is a process of removing or reducing the level of gymnastic skills from a piece of gymnastics apparatus or a routine. This can be done for various reasons, such as safety, injury prevention, or to make the apparatus or routine more accessible to a wider range of participants. Degymming can involve simplifying the apparatus, such as removing or lowering bars, or altering the routine to reduce the level of difficulty. For example, a routine that requires a double backflip might be degymmed to a single backflip or even a simple cartwheel. Degymming is often used in recreational gymnastics, competitive gymnastics, and in the design of apparatus for children or beginners. It is important to note that degymming should be done carefully to ensure that the safety and integrity of the apparatus are maintained.
