Handbook of School-Gymnastics of the Swedish System: With One Hundred Consecutive Tables of Exercises and an Appendix of Classified Lists of Movements (1892)

The Handbook of School-Gymnastics of the Swedish System is a comprehensive guide to gymnastics for schools, written by Nils Posse and originally published in 1892. The book includes one hundred consecutive tables of exercises, each with detailed instructions and illustrations, as well as an appendix of classified lists of movements. The Swedish System of gymnastics, also known as the Ling System, was developed by Per Henrik Ling in the early 19th century and emphasized the use of natural movements and exercises to improve physical fitness and health. Posse, a Swedish-American gymnastics instructor, was a proponent of the Swedish System and sought to promote its use in American schools. The Handbook of School-Gymnastics of the Swedish System is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of physical education and the development of gymnastics as a discipline.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
