| Summary: | At the beginning of the 19th century, a general gymnastics movement was created by the Philanthropists’ movement of the 18th century. Its main representatives were the great gymnastic systems (German, Swedish, English, and Slavic). In addition to the founders of the above gymnastic systems, there were also some other pioneer pedagogue – gymnasts. These people promoted physical education and more specifically gymnastics (Artistic Gymnastics: AG), and developed various gymnastic methods in several countries. The main components of these gymnastic methods were the various forms of AG, which spread and developed mainly through the gymnastic associations of the German gymnastic system. The aim of this study was to research and describe the gymnastic systems and the instructive and written works of the first pedagogue – gymnasts in the first half of the 19th century, who spread physical education and AG across Europe and America.
