    Locomotion in gymnastics can be categorized into three types: on feet, in support, and in hang. Locomotion on feet involves basic movements like running, skipping, and hopping that can be varied in direction, level, and rhythm. Locomotion in support develops upper body strength through movements done on the hands and feet like inch worms and animal walks on bars or benches. Locomotion in hang further develops upper body strength for movements that use hanging apparatus like ropes or monkey bars.
