Wood, TD

...The reform movement aimed for what could be called "naturalized physical education," and unlike the formalism of old gymnastics, it sought new exercise content that would attract the interest of children and students, with the pillars of "naturalization of exercise" and "awareness of the purpose of exercise."

Cassidy (1895-1980), representative figures of this reform movement, who wrote a book called "The New Physical Education" in 1927, set out eight areas of new exercise content in the book, one of which was activities that cultivated one's own bodily control and courage, such as feats and stunts, and specifically included stunts and apparatus exercises. As the activities of this "new physical education" were promoted, stunts also began to attract attention and became more popular.
