Plural of handstand; acrobatic positions where the body is held vertically with only the hands touching the ground.
Compound of 'hand' and 'stand' plus plural '-s'. The term literally describes standing on your hands rather than your feet.
A handstand is harder than it looks because your hands aren't designed to sense balance the way your feet are—gymnasts train their hands to develop incredible proprioception (body awareness) to stay upright in this unnatural position.
