In educational structure of gymnasia, 
on the other hand, all activities and training 
program were conducted under the observation 
of administrators titled Gymnasiarkhos. These 
administrators were responsible for public 
access shows and sport activities and they were 
public agents who managed schools and 
controlled 
competitors. 
The 
roles 
of 
Gymnasiarkhos were generally to ensure and 
program training order, assign trainers, to 
maintain buildings and equipment as well as all 
responsibilities of the facility and to distribute 
the 
awards 
of the 
competitions.

administrator usually spared his own resources

part of paideia which encompasses all effective 
factors for physical, mental and psychological 
health. Physical training, heavy physical 
training, education aid general games were 
performed by people from every age and cast 
in these gymnasia [5,20]. In general, these 
gymnasia built by city (polis) administrations 
were a broad sport facility. Considering the age 
when they were built, it can be seen that 
harmony between physical, mental and 
psychological' 
education 
was 
deemed 
important, albeit prioritization of military 
education. Gymnasia, facilities particularly 
used in Hellenistic Age in multi-dimensional 
way, were the places for body training of 
young people (gymnos). Courses given in 
gymnasia were mostly physical activities such 
as wrestling, boxing, paricras, throwing discus, 
long jumping and running until noon and more 
basic sciences, language and grammar, 
rhetoric, geography, mathematics and music in 
the 
afternoon.
