Competitive Baton Twirling is a new discipline in Romania. It has been developed through two organizations: MBTA (Majorettes Baton Twirling Association) and AMR (Romanian Majorettes Association), which gather every year more and more clubs, both private and state organizations. Baton Twirling is one of the disciplines of this system. There is a wide range of effects on cadets or junior women: motor, artistic and aesthetic. The study of choreography performed by the "Euritmic" group from Children's Club in district 6, Bucharest, trained by coach Adela Popescu, formed by 12 students aged between 12-15 years, including 9 coordination, speed and safety tests and 10 tests for control of technical execution, has revealed a part of the complex positive effects of practicing this sport and some terms of reference which can be used in the training and monitoring process. Intermediate results supported their importance and strategic value. General results confirmed the efficiency of the tests performed using different methods, such as the number of spins in 30 sec for reaching higher speed and execution velocity, as well as the efficiency of the tests "3 out of 3", "5 out of 5" or "10 out of 10" spins to achieve stability, safety and precision of execution. All these assure the base structure in monitoring and the qualitative support in choreographing routines for competition.

The training of gymnasts with Down syndrome must be scientifically based, at a national and international level, in order to make them benefit from the complex positive effects of competitive artistic gymnastics for a longer period of time and to ensure them motor progress. Teachers, volunteers, specialists and athletes involved in this activity need constant guidance, encouragement and practical terms of reference in the methodical, technical steps that must be followed. This study was carried out in the first and second semester of the university year 2013-2014 and the first semester of the university year 2014-2015 (with a minimum work level -1 training per week), on a group of 12 adult gymnasts with Down Syndrome, aged between 18-32 years. Methodical, strategic and operational elements for training control, evaluation and adjustment to gymnasts with Down syndrome on the parallel bars routines -level 1 were checked and confirmed. The experiment and statistical analysis confirmed actual values of correlative parameters needed in training by means of 4 tests of general physical preparation, 3 tests of specific training and 9 tests of technical preparation, which measure the quality of execution. The research data represents a valuable reference model by offering scientific training on the parallel bars -level 1 for gymnasts with Down syndrome.
