“…Several studies (Georgopoulos et al, 2002;Thomis et al;Ávila-Carvalho et al, 2012Ávila-Carvalho et al, , 2013Malina et al, 2013;Purenovic-Ivanovic et al) indicate that gymnasts have a late in pubertal stages, age at menarche and age at peak height velocity (PHV), especially in elite gymnasts. However, the main indicator of maturation used in studies with gymnasts is the age at menarche, probably because it is a less invasive method, easier application, and without anthropometric measures.…”

“…Morphological characteristics of rhythmic gymnasts are determined by different factors, such as genetic aspects, training level, specific nutritional plans (Tringali et al) and also the maturity status (Malina et al, 2016). Several studies (Georgopoulos et al, 2002;Thomis et al, 2005;Beunen & Malina, 2007;Ávila-Carvalho et al, 2013;Malina et al, 2013;Purenovic-Ivanovic et al, 2017) indicate that gymnasts have a late in pubertal stages, age at menarche and age at peak height velocity (PHV), especially in elite gymnasts.…”

GARGANTA, R. & ÁVILA-CARVALHO, L. Morphological characteristics and biological maturation of Brazilian and Portuguese gymnasts. Int. J. Morphol., 37(2):561-567, 2019. SUMMARY:The morphological characteristics and biological maturation are among the more important factors in the performance in the Rhythmic Gymnastics. Thus, the aims of the present study were: (1) identify the training, morphological and biological maturation characteristics in elite Brazilian and Portuguese gymnasts; (2) compare these characteristics across groups. The Brazilian Portuguese National Team (13 gymnasts) were studied. Anthropometric and body composition measurements were performed. For analysis of biological maturation, the sexual (pubertal stages and age at menarche) and somatic (offset maturational) maturation were evaluated. The training data were collected by interviewing. For the statistical analysis, Mann-Whitney test was applied. The somatotype and calculation of its components were performed according to the Health-Carter method thought of the MER Goulding Software Development. Brazil and Portugal National Teams presented similar training volume and training onset, however Brazilian gymnasts had higher age and years of practice in Rhythmic Gymnastics than Portuguese gymnasts. Brazilian had higher body mass; height; lower limb length; triceps, subscapular and abdominal skinfolds; relaxed arm and thigh girths; and endomorphy somatotype component than Portuguese. The groups showed different somatotypes: Brazilian (endomorphic ectomorph) and Portuguese (balanced ectomorph), although without statistical significance. The groups demonstrated a delay in maturational development. Similar breast (stages 3 and 4) and pubic hair (stages 2 and 3) development were verified. In total, 84.6 % of gymnasts had reached menarche (15.9±2.6 years) and all gymnasts had reached the age at peak height velocity (14.9±1.2 years). The distance and age at peak height velocity were higher in Brazilian than in Portuguese.La distancia y la edad en la velocidad de alcance de la altura máxima fueron más altas en Brasil que en Portugal.

“…Artistic gymnastics studies biomechanical features of performing exercises (Heinen, 2011;Rymal, & Ste-Marie, 2017), the peculiarities of young athletes' functional state dynamics (Sawicki, Dornowski, Grzywacz, & Kaczor, 2018;Purenovic-Ivanovic, Popovic, & Moskovljevic, 2017). Particular attention is paid to studying athletes' anxiety and self-esteem (Milashechkina, Gernet, Timofeeva, Buchnev, Pogorelova, & Milashechkin, 2019).…”

The study purpose was to substantiate theoretical and methodological grounds and the concept of a research program of the training process based on modeling of individual components of the young gymnasts’ training system. Materials and methods. The study involved: 30 gymnasts – 3rd senior category, 30 gymnasts – 2nd senior category, 26 gymnasts – 1st senior category. Young gymnasts participating in the experiment received athletic titles from the 1st category to master of sports (1st c. – 18 persons, CMS – 15 persons, MS – 12), won competitions of different levels. To substantiate the research program, the study used the following methods: modeling, systems approach, methods of theoretical analysis and generalization to reveal the essence, leading development trends of the young gymnasts’ training system and to define theoretical prerequisites and methodological approaches to its further improvement; pedagogical testing, methods of recording sensorimotor reactions, methods of recording the cardiovascular system state, observation and pedagogical experiment to determine young gymnasts’ model characteristics, modes of training loads; methods of mathematical analysis (logistic and asymptotic functions) to determine the regularities of allocating the means of primary focus during motor abilities development, teaching gymnastic exercises and training for competitions; mathematical methods of planning multifactorial experiments to study the regularities of motor abilities development, teaching process and training for competitions. The obtained experimental material was processed using statistical analysis software (SPSS 20). Results. The developed conceptual approaches to determining the normative characteristics of training loads in the process of young gymnasts’ training include: analysis of the effects of different modes of training on a change in the functional state; determination of the optimal increase in the functional state indicators; calculation of a mode of training that can ensure the optimal increase in the indicators of young gymnasts’ functional state. Conclusions. The developed research program makes it possible to define the regularities of motor abilities development, teaching gymnastic exercises and training for competitions; to obtain the models of young gymnasts’ training process. As a result of implementing the research program, the study substantiated factorial designs for studying the influence of modes of alternation of exercises and rest on the effectiveness of motor abilities development, motor skills formation, and the effectiveness of training young gymnasts for competitions.

“…This sport is characterized for being aesthetic, in which the size and body structure contribute significantly to the practitioner's performance 5 . In this context, the term performance refers to a gymnast or group accomplish in a physical, technical shape together with psychological strength with the maximum efficiency possible 6 . The ideal development is the result of a complex interaction of several factors 7 .…”

Describing the biological, physical fitness and motor coordination profile and its possible associations of these variables with the performance on rhythmic gymnastics (RG) of practitioners of sports initiation. Systematic search of articles carried out from the 20th to the 23rd of July, 2022, on three databases: 1) PubMed; 2) SportDiscus and 3) Google Scholar. The search was conducted through an advanced research tool, from the constructing of descriptors and keywords related to the theme. The selection of descriptors and keywords was performed through consensus of published sources (original and of systematic review articles) and inserted in English language in each database. 10 articles were included in the descriptive summary of data. The greatest part of these studies is of female practitioners, having the data collection in its majority in the European region. The profile of beginner gymnasts was characterized by low values for BMI, BF%, high values for stature, high indexes of flexibility, explosive strength, motor coordination and balance. Flexibility, explosive strength, muscular endurance and high levels of motor coordination were the variables which most presented positive associations with the performance on RG. The values of body mass and skin folds presented a predictive negative power on the success of RG movements. The impact of different variables on the beginner gymnasts’ performance evidences the necessity of working physical and motor components in a way that it supports the objects of development of each practitioner considering the biological, physical and motor aspects.
