The word gymnastics originally came from the Greek word for naked, gymnos, because people usually competed naked. The ancient Greeks believed gymnastics was a perfect balance between mind and body. Gymnasts, as well as taking part in physical gymnastics, also received training in philosophy, music and literature at the gymnasiums. Roman soldiers also trained in gymnastic type training for battle.
