History of Yasmin Lima - Ceara, Brasil
Maces are one of the devices used in rhythmic gymnastics. They are usually made of wood or plastic and are between 40 and 50 cm long, weighing at least 150 g each. Maces consist of three parts: the body, the neck and the head. During the routine, the gymnast manipulates the clubs to perform a variety of movements, such as rolls, circles, curves and asymmetrical shapes. The delicacy of the hands is essential to work well with this device, and the gymnast must combine club movements with body movements to create a fluid and harmonious presentation. Mace exercises require rhythm, coordination and precision to ensure high-quality performance.
