IMPROVEMENT OF MOTOR COORDINATION SKILLS IN GYMNASTICS ATHLETES

ABSTRACT Introduction The great difficulty and the high risk are inherent marks of artistic gymnastics. It demands motor coordination of large muscle groups. Objective Improve the training of body coordination control in gymnasts. Methods We randomly selected 16 gymnasts as research volunteers, randomly divided into two groups of the same age distribution. After the training period, a new training protocol was implemented, and motor coordination control was analyzed after this intervention. Results There was no significant difference in a one-sided comparative index (P>0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the balance index and the speed index in the fast touch point direction in the athletes (P<0.01). Compared with the control group, there was a significant difference in the overall test index between the experimental groups (P<0.01). The motor coordination of the experimental group had a significant improvement. Conclusion The techniques of cross-striking, fast pedaling, balance, jump rope, two-handed grip, two-handed dribbling, kicking, and seven other techniques evaluated showed a great relationship with the motor coordination of gymnastics athletes. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
