Abstract

Group gymnastics, as a grand artistic sports performance, serves not only as a vital component in building a sports powerhouse but also as a crucial pathway to achieve this national goal. By promoting and developing group gymnastics, we can enhance public sports participation, boost the nation's cultural soft power, and ultimately advance the construction of a sports powerhouse. This practice holds significant importance in demonstrating comprehensive national strength, boosting morale, and facilitating cultural dissemination. Through literature review, video analysis, and logical examination, this study delves into the profound significance behind group gymnastics. It summarizes its forms of expression and functional characteristics based on its origins, while offering practical suggestions for better promoting its development in light of current circumstances.
