Study on the Technical Training of Junior Gymnasts III

Abstract

In gymnastics, the difficulty of the exercises, on the four apparatus, increases from one category to another and from one competition to another, depending on their scale, to which the specialized federations require certain regulatory requirements (Grigore V., 1998).
The transition froman inferior sports category to a superior one can be achieved only in an official competition, executing the exercises provided for the respective sports category and by obtainting a minim total score (50 points for junior gymnasts III, on the four apparatus).
By the chosen theme, the study main objective is to determine the level of technical training of junior gymnasts III of the Schools Sports Club (CSS) in the country, respecting the regulatory requirements imposed by the Romanian Gymnastics Federation (FRG).
To establish the techinical training of junior gymnasts III, was proposed a friendly competition, attended by 50 gymnasts from six specialty centers in Romania, (CSS Galati – CSSG, CSS Bucureşti – CSSB, CSS Constanţa – CSSC, CSS Oneşti – CSSO, CSS Deva – CSSD, CSS Focşani – CSSF), taking into account the difficulty and execution requirements set by the FRG on the 4 apparatus, as follows: 2 different jumps; exercises imposed on the uneven parallel bars; balance beam; free choice ground exercise. The appreciation of the gymnasts performances on the 4 apparatus was made with qualified arbitrators, arbitration was realized the same as for an official competition.
The statistical processing was realized using Microsoft Excel.
The results obtained in the competition reveled strong gasps regarding the level of learning the techinical elements that are part of the exercises required and freely chosen, so the concludion that emerges from the results obtained suggest that junior gymnasts III, have low technical training, the registered marks were way below FRG requirements.
