What are the mechanics of calisthenics for competition?

Calisthenics competitions typically involve athletes performing a series of bodyweight exercises that showcase strength, flexibility, and control. Competitors are judged on elements such as form, difficulty, creativity, and execution across various skills like muscle-ups, planches, and handstands. Routines are often choreographed to include transitions and combinations that demonstrate both technical proficiency and aesthetic appeal. Scoring may vary by competition, but generally includes both qualitative and quantitative assessments to determine the winners.
