The Relationship of Flexibility and Dynamic Balance of Highly Qualified Dancers in the European Program
The authors of the study set a goal to optimize the process of forming a competitive “Shape” for duets of high qualification in dance sport. According to the hypothesis put forward, it was assumed that identifying the amplitude level and linear deviation parameters relative to the common center of mass of the dance duet, taking into account rotations about the vertical axis, as well as identifying the degree of correlation between the flexibility and dynamic balance indicators, will optimize the training of highly qualified athletes in dance sports. The following research methods were used in the work: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, video monitoring, pedagogical observations, and mathematical statistics. As a result of the study, the model characteristics of the deviation parameters of the upper body of the dancers were determined, the relationship between the indicators of special flexibility, dynamic equilibrium and the competitive result of highly qualified dancers in the European program was revealed.
