IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PHYSICAL COORDINATION SKILLS OF GYMNASTS

ABSTRACT Introduction In the specific sports of gymnastics, athletes’ physical quality and professional ability are actively improved, and a special training plan is also actively designed. Objective Improve the physical coordination ability of gymnastic athletes. Methods 50 professional gymnasts were selected, 25 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group. The intervention took 2 hours of daily training in gymnastics class; the period was in a non-competitive season cycle. Results After the experiment, the average performance of the athletes in the experimental group was higher than those before the experiment in the four indicators of push-ups, extensions, supine, and high leg kicks; however, in the three indicators of push-ups, pull-ups, and high leg kicks, the standard deviation after the experiment presented higher than that before (the results after the experiment were not shown to be as stable as those before the experiment). Conclusion During exercise, especially in complex movements, abdominal core strength balances the distribution of physical force for athletes, reducing overall energy expenditure. Thus, athletes can coordinate lower limbs to move with greater speed and precision. Level of Evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
