Abstract
Knowing the current status of
rhythmic gymnasts’ motor abilities allows a valid objective evaluation of their
competitive preparedness and facilitate planning of their further development.
The main objective was to determine possible differences in motor abilities of
rhythmic gymnasts regarding program level they were competing in, their age and
national ranking. Three groups of junior rhythmic gymnasts, competing in either
A, B, or C level programs, were investigated. Both the multivariate analysis of
variance and univariate analysis of variance showed statistically significant
differences in the selected motor abilities regarding the program level
(flexibility, strength and coordination). A-level rhythmic gymnasts scored best
in all the tests assessing flexibility, coordination and strength. The
differences in motor abilities between junior rhythmic gymnasts with regard to
their national ranking showed no statistical significance, whereas age was
statistically significant. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient revealed
significant relations between certain motor abilities among rhythmic gymnasts
in A, B and C level programs. The higher the level of a program, the higher the
correlatives, and vice versa. Two tests had the largest contribution to the
success achieved in the competition: the figure of eight with bending and forward
bent on the bench. The scientific value of the proposed research is aimed at
better planning, programming and control of training process in rhythmic
gymnastics.
期刊介绍:
Kinesiology – International Journal of Fundamental and Applied Kinesiology (print ISSN 1331- 1441, online ISSN 1848-638X) publishes twice a year scientific papers and other written material from kinesiology (a scientific discipline which investigates art and science of human movement; in the meaning and scope close to the idiom “sport sciences”) and other adjacent human sciences focused on sport and exercise, primarily from anthropology (biological and cultural alike), medicine, sociology, psychology, natural sciences and mathematics applied to sport in its broadest sense, history, and others. Contributions of high scientific interest, including also results of theoretical analyses and their practical application in physical education, sport, physical recreation and kinesitherapy, are accepted for publication. The following sections define the scope of the journal: Sport and sports activities, Physical education, Recreation/leisure, Kinesiological anthropology, Training methods, Biology of sport and exercise, Sports medicine and physiology of sport, Biomechanics, History of sport and Book reviews with news.
