description Music plays an important role for sports events such as rhythmic gymnastics, synchronized swimming, skating and so forth. From a musical perspective, it is found that the lack of congruence between music and movement is observed through videos such as the Olympics and the Commonwealth Games.

Since the correlation between movement and music is important, this paper suggests that fundamental music learning should be implemented in the training of gymnasts.
