Stunts

Japanese: スタンツ(英語表記)stunts
Stunts
It is a slang term that began to be used in the late 19th century in American universities as a gymnastics term to refer to a form of exercise that tests one's physical abilities. Originally it meant a "feat" or "feat," and is understood to include all activities that cultivate one's ability to control one's body and courage. The term "stunts" and the form of exercise began to attract attention in the American physical education world after they were taken up in the physical education reform movement that began in the 1910s and made great strides in the 1920s.

Japanese:
19世紀末にアメリカの大学で自己の身体能力を試すような運動形式をさし示す体操用語として使われ始めた俗語。本来は〈妙技〉や〈離れわざ〉を意味しており,自己の身体支配の能力や勇気を養うような活動全体を含むものとして理解されている。 アメリカの体育界において〈スタンツ〉という用語や運動形式が注目されるようになるのは,1910年代に始まり20年代に大きく進展する体育の改革運動の中で取り上げられてからであった。
