    Gymnastics originated in ancient Greece around 146 BC as a way to develop the body through exercises like running, jumping, and wrestling. Various forms of gymnastics were depicted in Egyptian hieroglyphs from 220 AD and Chinese stone carvings. In the 15th century, gymnastics spread to Europe and was practiced by performers to develop physical and cognitive skills. In the 18th-19th centuries, gymnastics grew as a way to improve health and was incorporated into school physical education. Major developments included the invention of gymnastic apparatus and the rise of national gymnastic organizations, which helped establish modern competitive gymnastics.
