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 improve-ment. 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.
