Abstract:

ABSTRACT Introduction: In modern gymnastics, there are high demands for the physical quality of Chinese athletes. Objectives: This paper mainly studies whether the workload of Chinese gymnasts can support the corresponding high-intensity training in the training process. Methods: Experimental scientific research methods and statistical analysis are used to conduct a long-term study on dozens of gymnasts in Chinese schools and draw the workload curves of these gymnasts during gymnastic exercises. We try to determine the effective correlation between the athlete's body load and physical training and body shape. Results: During the training of gymnasts, heart rates can briefly exceed 190 beats per minute. Conclusion: In the training process of different gymnasts, the gymnasts’ heart rates show obvious differences. Therefore, the use of scientific and reasonable training strategies can effectively improve the ability of athletes’ hearts to withstand high-intensity exercise loads and help improve the gymnast's performance. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.

Abstract:

Female artistic gymnasts, defined as gymnasts who compete in the vault, uneven parallel bars, balance beam, and floor events, may be affected by a wide variety of acute and overuse injuries throughout their athletic careers. Returning these athletes to their sport safely after an injury requires detailed knowledge of the various events in which they compete as well as a familiarity with what is expected of these gymnasts at the various levels of training and competition. Despite the complexity described above, there are few published resources to help providers guide the female artistic gymnast back to sport after injury. Therefore, we developed two purposes for this paper: (1) to review important concepts regarding return to play (RTP) in women’s artistic gymnastics and (2) to add to the existing literature on RTP in women’s gymnastics by providing RTP protocols that consider a gymnast’s training level as well as injured body area.

Abstract:

Gymnastics is a sport with a high risk of injury creating many opportunities for a gymnast to experience injury-related fear. Little is known about how gymnasts experience fear and how coaches perceive gymnasts' fear. The present study was aimed at exploring the experiences of post-injury fear in a gymnast-coach dyad. Two male participants (a gymnast and his coach) were involved in narrative-type interviews about their experiences of the same incident of the gymnast’s fear. The holistic form-structural analysis revealed three narratives: a hero’s journey narrative (coach) and a chaos narrative followed by a redemption narrative (gymnast). The stories had different foci. The coach took a career perspective focusing on the fear incident as a part of the athlete’s personal development. The gymnast focused more on injuries, fear experiences, and how he coped. The findings illuminate how two collaborating people can experience the same incident of fear differently and how those different views complement each other.

Abstract:

Artistic gymnastic is one of the components of competitive gymnastics and is divided in men’s and women’s artistic gymnastics. There are four events in the women’s artistic gymnastics: vault, uneven bars, balance beam and the floor. Strength training in artistic gymnastic is closely linked to the gymnastic skills, so we can talk about the development of specific strength that is comparable to other sports. Taking into consideration the predetermined role of the muscular preparation in defining the physical training for female gymnasts. In this study, were obtained analysis twenty-one female gymnasts from four sports clubs in different cities of Albania, who are members of national gymnastics competitions. Tests realized in the beginning and final are as follows: SJ (cm), CMJ (cm), TF SJ (ml/s}, T F CMJ (ml/s}, SJBW (cm), CMJ 15 sec. (cm), HP (cm), HPWB (cm). Gymnasts have level average in SJ and CMJ. Low ratio indicates optimal condition strength to gymnasts. Referring tests shows that 16 gymnasts have high value flight times jumps SJ and CMJ. A different tableau is observed to 5 gymnasts, where look lower values of flight times jumps in SJ and CMJ. From the measurements of the tests, it resulted that those gymnasts that were involved in the study had an average level of strength of their lower limbs and a lower level of power of their upper limbs.

Abstract:

The kinematic analysis of gymnastic skills performance is a widely used research method in sports science. This study presents the experience of applying the method of kinematic analysis in the managing the training process of junior gymnasts on the example of mastering three basic gymnastic skills. The test group included 10 junior male gymnasts of the age 9 to 12. The subject of kinematic analysis was based on comparing gymnasts’ joint angles, angular velocity and angular acceleration parameters. The kinematics parameters of gymnastic skills performance by a highly qualified gymnast became the target model for junior gymnasts. As a result of these targets application in the training of junior gymnasts, changes in the basic skills kinematic parameters were detected. At the end of the study, the kinematics parameters of junior gymnasts became much closer to the model parameters. Thus, the effectiveness of the kinematics analysis method in the training of junior gymnasts was demonstrated.

Abstract:

An increased jumping performance is key for gymnastics competition routines. Rhythmic gymnasts (RGs) use the jump as one of the main body elements. In Acrobatic Gymnastics (ACRO), top gymnasts must coordinate their jumps with the impulse provided by base gymnast(s). It is expected that the gymnasts’ discipline and role played impact their jumping skill. This work aims to investigate how the jumping performance differs between ACRO gymnasts and RGs, focusing on the Force–Velocity (F-V) profile mechanical variables. Gymnasts were divided in three groups: ACRO tops (n = 10, 13.89 (3.62) median (interquartile interval) years old), ACRO bases (n = 18, 18.24 (4.41) years old) and RGs (n = 15, 12.00 (3.00) years old). The F-V profile during countermovement jump and its mechanical variables were evaluated using MyJump2. A training background survey and anthropometric assessments were conducted. The significance level was set at p ≤ 0.05. Group comparisons showed that ACRO bases jump higher than ACRO tops and RGs, present a higher maximal force than RGs and a more balanced F-V profile, while RGs present high force deficits. Coaches can use this data to develop interventions that optimize the training stimulus to different gymnastics disciplines considering the individual characteristics and adaptability of each gymnast.

Abstract:

In Women's Artistic Gymnastics (WAG), athletes can be coach dependent, becoming submissive and this scenario may reflect subordination, harassment and abuse. This is worrying, because gymnasts are usually children. However, we argue that coach conduct depends on complex interactions. Thus, we analyzed how the coach-gymnast relationship is built. We used Pierre Bourdieu's categories to argue our reflections. We identified that the domination forms in the coach-gymnast relationship are responsible for shaping long-lasting dispositions, triggered by a process marked by the inculcation and embodiment of certain practices. Thus, gymnasts develop a class habitus that reproduces and legitimates the logic of this field. Our appropriation of Bourdieu's lens has shown that the gymnasts are at a disadvantage in relation to the coaches and to the system. Therefore, these structures should not demand early outcomes, but allow gymnasts to decide whether they want to continue in this “game of domination”.

Abstract:

Gymnastic training develops strength, flexibility, concentration, balance, precision, and speed. The purpose of the study is to determine if gymnastic preparation leads to an increase in weight-bearing ankle dorsiflexion range of motion in a closed kinematic chain in young artistic gymnasts compared to a different type of sport. The weight-bearing lunge was chosen to measure the dorsiflexion range of motion in the ankle joint in the closed kinematic chain. The first group consists of members of the Slovak national youth team in artistic gymnastics (n-26). The second group consists of members of the Slovak national team in rhythmic gymnastics (n-13). The control group consists of young athletes (n-22). The mean dorsiflexion range of motion in artistic gymnasts was 47.32 ° in the right ankle joint and 44.75 ° in the left ankle joint. The mean dorsiflexion range of motion in rhythmic gymnasts was 44.32 ° in the right ankle joint and 43.41 ° in the left ankle joint. The mean dorsiflexion range of motion in young athletes was 44.27 ° in the right ankle joint and 42.32 ° in the left ankle joint. Results indicate a statistically significant difference in favor of artistic gymnasts compared to rhythmic gymnasts at the right ankle joint (p-0.04). In the left ankle, the two groups did not differ significantly from each other (p-0.38). There was no significant difference between artistic gymnasts and athletes in the right ankle joint (p-0.09) and the left ankle joint (p-0.19). There was no significant difference between rhythmic gymnasts and athletes at the right ankle joint (p-0.38) and the left ankle joint (p-0.24). A greater dorsiflexion range of motion in a closed kinematic chain in the ankle joint was detected in young gymnasts compared to rhythmic gymnasts. There was no significant difference between artistic gymnasts and athletes.

Abstract:

BackgroundWomen’s Artistic Gymnastics (WAG) is a sport well known for requiring a heavy and difficult training load from a younger age to reach a high level of performance. This also is associated with an injury risk. Epidemiological studies are thus needed to improve injury prevention strategies.ObjectiveWe aimed to determine the injury epidemiology in French high-level WAG.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of injury data collected prospectively over six seasons from the 2014–2015 season to the 2019–2020 season among French high-level Women’s Artistic Gymnasts from the France Gymnastics National Centre of Saint-Etienne. We performed descriptive analyses, including the calculation of the 1-year injury prevalence.Results43 gymnasts were included in this study, representing 111 gymnast-seasons. A total of 285 injuries were collected over the study period, that was, an average of 2.6 injuries per gymnast per season. On average, 91.4% of gymnasts had at least one injury per season. The estimated injury incidence rate was 1.8 injuries per 1000 hours of gymnastics practice. The knee was the most affected joint (16%), followed by the elbow (12%) and the ankle (12%). The most frequent injury type was physis pathologies (16%) and bone injuries (15%). Eighty-eight per cent of injuries required a modification of the gymnastics practice.ConclusionsThe results of this study allowed a description of the epidemiology of injuries in this population of young and elite gymnasts. This very high injury prevalence supports the need to improve injury risk reduction strategies in WAG.

Abstract:

The last decade has seen an increase in the age of elite women’s gymnasts. This article examines the older gymnastic body within the field of elite women’s gymnastics, and how gymnasts, over the age of 20, and their coaches and judges, reconstruct the field in interview accounts. While participants contested the value of differently aged and sized bodies, they also made distinctions between the capitals that were valuable in different settings such as the competition setting, a gymnast’s usual training setting or a national training camp. In order to account for these differences, we combine the work of Pierre Bourdieu with that of Erving Goffman. We argue that Goffman’s emphasis on setting adds a level of specificity to Bourdieu’s claim that fields always exist as sites of struggle through providing a way to differentiate between different value systems that may co-exist within the same field.

Abstract:

Gymnastics is noted for involving highly specialized strength, power, agility and flexibility. Flexibility is perhaps the single greatest discriminator of gymnastics from other sports. The extreme ranges of motion achieved by gymnasts require long periods of training, often occupying more than a decade. Gymnasts also start training at an early age (particularly female gymnasts), and the effect of gymnastics training on these young athletes is poorly understood. One of the concerns of many gymnastics professionals is the training of the spine in hyperextension—the ubiquitous ‘arch’ seen in many gymnastics positions and movements. Training in spine hyperextension usually begins in early childhood through performance of a skill known as a back-bend. Does practising a back-bend and other hyperextension exercises harm young gymnasts? Current information on spine stretching among gymnasts indicates that, within reason, spine stretching does not appear to be an unusual threat to gymnasts’ health. However, the paucity of information demands that further study be undertaken.

Abstract:

Literature has indicated that there are psychological characteristics in elite athletes of various sports that are significantly different than those of non-elite level athletes. The purpose of this study was to discover the different psychological characteristics associated with elite level gymnasts, and contrast the results with psychological characteristics of competitive gymnasts of other levels using the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28. Participants in this study were 195 gymnasts from gymnastics training centers throughout the United States. Results indicated that there was a significant difference in the Personal Resources Score (PCR) between the elite gymnast and all other levels. Furthermore, a significant difference was demonstrated among four of the seven sub-scales making up the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28. The study supports the hypothesis that the psychological make-up of "elite" level gymnasts is different than that of other competitive gymnastics levels.

Abstract:

In the most recent survey, Performance Directors and Sports Scientists highlighted talent identification to be the top priority for research within Great Britain (Burwitz, 1999). However, the identification of talent is only the first stage of a continuous process of development through which sporting excellence may be realised. The contribution of talent identification to the attainment of excellence in Women's Artistic Gymnastics has yet to be conclusively determined. Moreover, as a result of the lack of longitudinal research in this area, the impact of growth and maturation upon the development of talent characteristics in the young female gymnastics not fully understood. A longitudinal study was conducted to examine the identification and development of talent within a mixed ability sample of 48 young female gymnasts. Potentially prognostic talent characteristics from social-demographic physical, perceptual-motor and psychological dimensions of performance were assessedin an 'initial' measurement session (September 1996). The 'future' performance of the gymnasts was assessed 17 months later (February 1998) using a composite index of competitive performance and technical skill acquisition. The performance of gymnasts was classified as successful or unsuccessful according to this index. The relationship between the 'initial' talent characteristics and 'future' gymnastic performance was examined using principal components analysis and logistic regression. Using a similar approach, the extent to which a reduced battery of talent characteristics was able to distinguish between the gymnasts and a group of 15 untrained control subjects was determined. Finally, to provide an insight into the longitudinal development of the talent characteristics, the initial test battery was administered to the gymnasts on two further occasions separated by a measurement interval of six months. The results indicated that the profile of the young female gymnast is multidimensional. It is recommended that information should be analysed within each dimension of performance before being combined to produce a multidimensional profile. The physical characteristics were found to be the most prognostic indicators of talent and were recommended for inclusion in both the initial identification and subsequent monitoring processes. Support was also provided for the predictive validity of perceptualmotor characteristics, however, the contribution of these characteristics may be enhanced by further improvements in measurement reliability. Recommendations were drawn from the social-demographic and psychological dimensions concerning the most effective organisation of the training environment. The results from each dimension were combined to produce guidelines for the initial identification and subsequent development of talent within young female gymnasts.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine affective changes which result from injury in female collegiate gymnasts, using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) instrument (McNair, Lorr, & Droppleman, 1971 ). Twelve female gymnasts, comprising the Utah State University gymnastics team, completed the POMS twice per month for four months during their 1986-87 competitive season . A comparison group of 12 non-athlete female college students, matched with the gymnasts by age, year in school, and major, completed the POMS on the same schedule as the gymnasts. Injury was defined as orthopedic damage to the gymnast's body as a result of participation in gymnastics, another sport-related activity, or a non-sport-related accident, which forced the gymnast to miss one week of gymnastics practice or one competitive event. Pre- and post-injury POMS profiles were analyzed by visual inspection. Of the four gymnasts who sustained injuries during the season, two exhibited significant POMS profile changes. One gymnast who did not participate during the 1986-87 season, due to an injury sustained the previous year, produced POMS profiles which fluctuated in anticipation of, and in response to, her visits to physicians treating her injury. Comparisons using 1 tests of POMS factor scores of the non-injured gymnasts with those of the non-athlete college students indicated no significant differences between the two groups. Visual comparisons were conducted to ascertain if non-injured gymnasts' POMS profiles were similar to the "iceberg" profile found by Morgan (1979) in his study of elite athletes. Thirty-six percent of the gymnasts' POMS profiles had the iceberg configuration, as compared to 20 percent of the non-athletes' profiles. Since three of the five (60 percent) of the injured gymnasts in this study had significant changes in POMS factor scores, the hypothesis that injury can produce substantial affective changes in female collegiate gymnasts was supported . Additional research should be conducted to replicate and extend these results and to explore options for optimal treatment of injured athletes. Further comparisons between POMS profiles of both injured and healthy elite, professional, and collegiate athletes is recommended.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Introduction: Artistic gymnastics is an Olympic sport in which male artistic gymnasts perform on six apparatuses. The number of weekly training sessions can reach to 12, with 36 hours overall load. Methodology: The research was conducted among 15 elite and 16 sub-elite gymnasts on international and national level from Sofia, Bulgaria. The participants filled in a questionnaire about the type, severity, location, and reasons for the appearance of injuries. Results: We calculated injury incidence at 93.33% for elite and 87.50% for sub-elite male artistic gymnasts. The injury rate for elite gymnasts was 2.19/1000 gymnastic exposures and 2.87 injuries per gymnast for the year. The injury rate for sub-elite gymnasts was 3.78/1000 gymnastic exposures and 2.13 injuries per gymnast for the year. The acute injuries dominated in all participants. Shoulder is the most often injured anatomical location as a result of the exercises performed on rings and horizontal bar. Ankle is the next often traumatized location because of the exercises done on floor and vault (landing phase). Conclusions: Literature describing injuries in male artistic gymnasts is scarce, which makes it relatively difficult to compare gender data. Injury rates in the male artistic gymnasts we studied fall within the range described in the sports literature.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Periodization and planning of the training load is an essential process in the preparation of an elite gymnast. On the one hand, the coaches and gymnasts have to achieve the necessary level (individual maximum) of the volume (quantity of elements and routines), and on the other hand, they have to do it at the “right time”. Last but not least is to prevent the gymnasts from injuries. That is why we need to study the dynamic of the training load from a physiological point of view and should have a better understanding of how the body’s system responds. This study aims to observe body reactions to the training load during one microcycle and one mesocycle in acrobatics gymnastics. One female youth Olympic champion (18 years old) and one male bronze medallist from junior WCH (26 years old) were tested. The study was made at the end of the preparation period and the beginning of the competitive period. The indicators measured were HR, blood La. Heart rate was recorded by Suunto Ambit 2. A drop of blood sample was taken from the fingertip to assess the average peak blood lactate concentration using an Accutrend Plus Roche. A heart rate record was made during one week of training (6 training days). Monitoring of the blood La took place once a week (every Thursday) for one month. The obtained results show how the gymnast body’s systems react to the training load in microcycles and mesocycle in acrobatics gymnastics. The data allow timely optimization of the training load and is a prerequisite for the improvement of the next periodization and planning of the training load not only for gymnasts that were tested but also for high-level gymnasts (Mixed Pair) with similar age and anthropometric indicators.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT In recent years, artistic gymnastics has been characterized by a constantly increasing complexity of the exercises performed. In this regard, the control and assessment of coordination abilities strongly activate the system for sports selection in adolescents. The research aims to establish the connection of coordination abilities with the technical training of young gymnasts. We selected coordination tests to identify the most significant component of its structure in the initial selection in gymnastics. We determined the technical level of the studied gymnasts through expert assessment in natural conditions of competition – State Championship 2022. The object of the research are the coordination abilities in the selection of 6-7-year-old girls, and the subject of the study are the components of coordination and their connection with technical training. In this research, we used the following methods: testing method, expert evaluation method, and mathematical-statistical methods – variation and correlation analysis. The processed results show that the overall score from the coordination tests has a moderate correlation with the technical level of the results taken from the competition. The static equilibrium stability test shows the highest degree of correlation on the technical level of all gymnastic apparatus. The results of the other tests, which showed a lower correlation, remain debatable. In conclusion, we can summarize that establishing the level of coordination skills will help the process of selecting talented gymnasts.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT In modern rhythmic gymnastics, there is an increasing difficulty with the apparatus, but for this to happen very good coordination of gymnasts is needed. In particular, dexterity is extremely important in order to be able to handle their de-vices very quickly and to perform as many elements of the apparatus as possible in order to receive higher grades. Manual dexterity is the ability of gymnasts to use their hands in a skillful, coordinated way to grasp and manipulate equipment and demonstrate precise movements. In view of this, the need for research on manual dexterity and its development is very much needed. The aim of the present study is manual dexterity (dexterity) in 10-11-year-old rhythmic gymnasts. Ten tests and fifteen exercises are offered as an experimental methodology for manual dexterity. A questionnaire was conducted with specialists in rhythmic gymnastics on the topic of this study After the results of the questionnaire, we can report that most coaches confuse the development of physical quality with the improvement of the technique of gymnasts. After the applied experimental methodology, we report an improvement in the results in the experimental group of 10-11-year-old gymnasts engaged in rhythmic gymnastics. In 9 of the 10 specific tests, we report a statistically significant difference in the results of an experimental group after the experiment. We believe that our methodology is one of the first of its kind. After statistically significant differences were found and proven in the present work, we can recommend to specialists working with adolescent gymnasts to get acquainted with it and use our experimental methodology. It will be suitable for improving dexterity and easier study and implementation of complex coordination elements with the apparatus.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The main task of the cod of points in artistic gymnastics - men is to provide objective means for evaluating men’s gymnastics exercises at all levels - at regional, national and international competitions, to ensure the identification of the best gymnasts in each competition, to guide coaches and gymnasts in creating their competitive exercises. The aim of this study is to analyze the changes in the cod of points in artistic gymnastics - men / 2020 - 2024 /, and to establish their influence on the composition of the competitive exercise of the floor exercise. Exercises were chosen at random performed randomly by elite gymnasts who participated in international championships in 2021 and 2022, on which diagrams have been prepared in order to establish the difference in the start value of their exercises in the respective competitions. In the research, we used the following methods: video analysis, expert evaluation, and pedagogical observation. Every four years, cod of points in artistic gymnastics – men undergo changes aimed at reducing the subjectivity of the judges in the evaluation of competitors, more correct and accurate recording of the exercises. We believe that the obtained results will help the specialists dealing with artistic gymnastics in compiling the competitive combinations of floor exercises.

Abstract:

The complexity of the training process, the increase of the demands in dealing with the training objectives, as well as the tendency to decrease the age of reaching the great performances in rhythmic gymnastics, are aspects that require the continuous improvement of the sports selection strategies. The current tendencies of the rhythmic gymnastics contest programs highlight exceptional performances, materialized in practice by higher difficulty technical executions with increased rates of reaction speed, the gymnast being forced to react quickly to stimuli, respectively to the movement of the object, for the success of the element or of the combination of elements. The reaction time has major implications in the efficiency of dealing with the specific technical elements, being especially important in the incipient stage of the formation of the skill for using the apparatus, respectively the I st stage of the sports training in the rhythmic gymnastics. The overall objective was to contribute to the improvement of the initial selection criteria in rhythmic gymnastics by objectively evaluating the complex reaction time to visual stimuli. The purpose of the study was to identify the importance and relevance of the TReaction Co software in the selection of gymnasts with real valences for practicing this sports field. The study was carried out on a sample of 30 gymnasts aged between 6 and 8 years old, in the sports hall of the UNEFS Bucharest. The testing was performed using the TReaction Co software, through which the complex reaction time was evaluated for the upper limbs -the dominant hand and the non-dominant hand. The results obtained by using the TReaction Co software were a useful step in completing the existing sources in the specialty literature of rhythmic gymnastics.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to determine the differences in static balance between female athletes and rhythmic gymnasts. The sample of respondents consisted of 15 female athletes with mean age of 10.47±1.73 and 17 rhythmic gymnasts with mean age of 10.18±1.98. Static balance testing consisted of three stances (stand with both feet, stand on one foot and tandem stance) that were performed on soft and firm surfaces. The results of this study indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between female athletes and rhythmic gymnasts in the static balance mistakes achieved on a hard surface as well as the total number of mistakes achieved. The difference was in favor of the rhythmic gymnasts. It can be said that although static balance is more prevalent in rhythmic gymnastics than in athletics, it is necessary for athletic trainers to develop this basic motor ability of their athletes in order to improve sports success and prevention of possible injuries.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT After several years of investigations of the training load in rhythmic gymnastics unification of testing in the field is need-ed. The aim is to implement a protocol for monitoring the physiological parameters. Two high-level rhythmic gymnasts aged 17 (Seniors) took part in this study. The physiological changes of the gymnasts were followed by measuring HR and blood lactate. At first, we tested the minute at which the peak of the blood lactate concentration appeared in order to take only one sample after the routines. In the literature different minutes are given to assess the peak value. Heart rate was recorded during each training for the duration of one micro cycle (a week) and the heart rate and the blood lactate were tested on a certain day of the week (Wednesday) for the duration of one mesocycle (month). The testing was carried out at the end of the preparatory and the beginning of the competitive period. The aim was to check the reliability of the testing with high-level athletes and to implement it into practice. The peak values of the heart rate and blood lactate were taken a few times during the training – before the start of the training; after the warm-up; before 1st routine (specific warm-up with apparatus); after the first, middle, and last routine of the day. The aim was to reduce the number of blood samples taken for each gymnast during the training sessions and also to optimize and simplify the procedure of the testing. With the implementation of this protocol in practice, it will be much more accurate to make a comparison among gymnasts or between the periods of the preparation for the same athlete. However, pilot studies should not be used to test hypotheses. Since the appropriate level in elite sport is measured we consider carrying on with further testing with a bigger number of gymnasts to prove the results.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Rhythmic gymnastics, like other sports disciplines called “artistic”, is continuously developing in a sports-technical sense. Gymnastics varieties, such as “dance gymnastics”, “rhythmical gymnastics”, “expressive gymnastics”, and “plastic and stage expression gymnastics” have lost their individuality but different elements of their means of expression find their place in the requirements for composition. The efforts of the specialists in this sport are aimed at preserving the identity of this sports discipline, namely, using various musical accompaniments and a wide range of dance movements combined with complex exercises. The aim of the research was to trace the development of the difficulty in routines and a retrospect of the main indicators for making competitive routines for the period 1963-2021 was made with the use of a theoretical and synthesis method. The evaluation of dance elements and complex exercises in competitive programs of gymnasts was in the very first Code of Rules known. There are three different components – difficulty of the exercises, general impression, and accuracy of execution. The general changes in the difficulty of the exercises can be clearly seen if we divide the Codes of Rules into the following periods: 1) 1963-1971, 2) 1976-1984, 3) 1997-2005, and 4) 2009-2021. The changes are due to two major factors: - objective – perfection of the training process, emergence of new exercises, gymnasts’ exclusive motor abilities; choreographs, musicians, dancer’ participation in gymnasts’ preparation; - subjective – creation and modification of the rules by members of rhythmic gymnastics technical committee who are representatives of different schools and cultures, with different concepts about the development of the future image of this sport. The retrospect of the requirements in the competitive rules shows that the greatest transformation of rhythmic gymnastics is in its turning into a complex sport.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The ankle and foot complex is a body segment that undergoes a high load in rhythmic gymnasts. Constant standing on toes and repetitive movements like relevé, pirouettes, and jumps, apply acute stress on soft tissues in the area. Due to poor proprioception, incorrect performance techniques of these rigorous activities repeated many times daily by a gymnast can lead to overuse injuries. Additional factors related to these conditions are weak Posterior Tibial muscle; tight Achilles tendon or short Triceps Surae; inadequate or forced turnout, provoking increased pronation of the foot; a muscle imbalance between invertors and evertors muscles. These contributing factors could be corrected by changes in technique or the way of training. The purpose of the present report is to follow the effect of proprioceptive training on postural balance and limb functioning in elite gymnasts. Methodology. Eighteen elite gymnasts from RG club “NUANCE NSA” have been investigated. The rhythmic gymnast aged between 10-17 (mean 13.3 years) underwent two (2) months of proprioceptive program, which included specific preventive and balance exercises performed before each practice. Star Excursion Balance Test and One Leg Hop for a time were used to measure the dynamic postural balance before starting the exercise program and two (2) months after. Results. Star Excursion Balance Test showed the shortest tap distance in the anterolateral direction for both dominant and non-dominant legs. The anterior and lateral direction were as follow. The performance improved after the two (2) months of proprioceptive program, but these directions still show the shortest tap distance. One Leg Hop test did not show any significant improvement in the performance. Conclusion: The 8-week proprioceptive training positively affects postural balance in elite rhythmic gymnasts. However, the tested period is short to make deep conclusions. A further prolonged investigation is needed to summarize the preventive effect of proprioceptive training.

Hur kan skolor och lärarutbildningar använda casemetodens didaktiska samtal för att möta och utveckla språkligt heterogena klassrum? Under tre år, från hösten 2019 till hösten 2022, fick lärare från grundskolor och gymnasieskolor i sydvästra Skåne tillsammans med forskare och lärare på Malmö universitet möjlighet att genomföra ett samverkansprojekt inom ramen för ULF, en nationell försöksverksamhet för praktiknära forskning. I rapporten presenteras en undersökning av fem ämnesspecifika case som nätverket tagit fram från dilemman i grundskolans och gymnasiets praktik. Resultatet visar att ämnesrelevanta case öppnar för didaktiska samtal och genom att vara en del av verksamheternas systematiska kvalitetsarbete ökar möjligheterna till att casemetoden också ger avtryck i undervisningen.
