Sport activity: gymnastics

What is taught in this programme

This programme is offered by Fergana State University and the Uzbekistan State University of Physical Culture and Sports. Students study the theoretical and practical foundations of gymnastics as a sport. The core subjects include gymnastics theory and methodology, anatomy, physiology, sports hygiene, sports psychology and pedagogy. Understanding how the human body works helps students organise training safely and effectively.

In practical classes, students master the techniques of floor exercises, acrobatic elements, jumps and apparatus exercises. They also develop skills in teaching exercises to children and adults and in assessing physical fitness. Students complete teaching practice, where they can observe and try out the educational process first-hand.

In Uzbekistan, graduates can usually find jobs in the following organisations: general secondary schools and preschool institutions, children's and youth sports schools, sports clubs and sports complexes, academic lyceums and vocational colleges, as well as health and recreation centres.

Other possible workplaces include sports federations, state bodies in the field of physical culture and sports, and private sports centres. The type and location of work depend on the chosen specialisation, personal preparation and available vacancies.

Who this suits

This programme suits active, disciplined young people who are interested in sport. Balance, flexibility, strength and coordination are important for gymnastics, but they can also be developed during training.

If you enjoy working with children, like teaching others and are interested in a healthy lifestyle, this programme may be a good fit for you. We recommend reviewing the admission requirements and exam conditions and choosing the university that best matches your goals.
