Body awareness gymnastics is a practice that aims at understanding the body and developing its motor and expressive capacity. Through conscious and precise movements, practitioners of this modality can improve their posture, balance, strength, and coordination. Considering the words of the teacher and researcher João Batista Freire ('Gymnastics is the art of wisely directing the harmonious development of the human body, both in terms of its static and dynamic structure...'), it can be affirmed that, for Freire, gymnastics goes beyond the physical aspect, also involving the cognitive and emotional dimension of the individual. Based on this perspective and knowledge about body awareness gymnastics, analyze the following excerpt from a choreography used in gymnastics classes: 'Standing, in a neutral position, inhale raising your arms above your head, joining the palms of your hands. As you exhale, bend your torso forward, keeping your spine elongated and your abdomen contracted, and slide your hands down your legs towards your feet. Inhale again and, as you exhale, extend your back and raise your torso, returning to the initial position.' Based on the execution of the described movements and the objective of body awareness gymnastics, what is the main function of the stage where the trunk flexion and sliding of the hands down the legs are performed?
