First published in 1939, this volume translated into English the
Danish work 'Den Specielle Gymnastrikteon'. Its author, Professor
Lindhard, noted the still-young field of theoretical gymnastics in
comparison to its physical counterpart, with the only prior major
work being that of Ling from 1800. Lindhard developed upon that
work to revolutionise the 1930s interpretation of Ling's views. The
author of several physiological books, Lindhard sought to explain
how gymnastics was a means of developing both physical form and
moral qualities. He emphasised the importance of guidance towards
ethical and aesthetical gymnastics and explored the differences
between men, women and children with regards to each form of
exercise. This was achieved through the classification, description
and contemplation of exercises such as corrective, balance and
athletic exercises along with demonstrative illustrations.
