“…The most important of these are strength, speed, flexibility, coordination, as well as the harmony of movements and musicality. Specialists [13,36,37] agree that a high level of physical fitness is necessary to obtain a sports result, and this is a very difficult task and an integral part of the preparation process in almost all sports, especially in sports with complex coordination of movements. They also point out that modern sport and its development trends necessitate continuous improvement of all factors affecting the result.…”

“…To keep up with the trends in the development of the sport, gymnasts are forced to make incredible efforts to achieve a competitive sports result. Hard work on improving technical skills and physical fitness is the main direction in the preparation of athletes [11,28,37]. In gymnastics, without the proper level of physical fitness, it is impossible to achieve results in the training and competitive process [36,38].…”

“…In such conditions, online training becomes relevant -a type of motor activity using techniques adapted for home conditions that allow you to maintain and improve physical fitness [7,27,29,35]. At present, it is timely to use non-traditional and affordable means of training young athletes, especially at the stage of basic training, when gymnasts already have certain achievements and their further result depends on the effectiveness of the training process [11,37]. Such an alternative means can be the use of multicomponent and multifunctional exercises on the coordination ladder, which can be effectively applied in online conditions.…”

“…It is used in both individual and group classes [3,4,17,34]. Given that the level of physical fitness is determined not only by one physical quality, but by their combination [10,11,25,37], then the value of exercises on the coordination ladder lies precisely in the fact that they provide an opportunity for the complex development of physical qualities [3,4,17,34]. Analysis of scientific and methodological literature [8, 16, 20 33] showed that a lot of attention has been paid to the problem of developing physical qualities in gymnastic sports and there are a large number of evidence-based methods for their development at all stages of training gymnasts, but simple, afford- able and effective methods for the integrated development of physical qualities that can be used in online training in gymnastics is not described enough.…”

Purpose: to determine the effectiveness of the developed methodology using special exercises on the coordination ladder to increase the level of physical fitness of female gymnasts 8-9 years old during online training. Material, participants and methods: 24 female athletes aged 8-9 years old, who are engaged in artistic gymnastics in the basic training group of the first year of study, were divided into control and main groups of 12 female athletes. Work experience: 3-4 years. Type of training in both groups – online training. The training process of the main group for the development of physical qualities included special exercises on the coordination ladder. In the training process of the control group for the development of physical qualities, exercises from the program were used. To assess the strength qualities of female athletes, the following tests were used: T1-lifting the legs in the hang on the gymnastic wall until the foot touches the rail behind the head (number of times); T2 – «Hanging angle», (s); T3 - lifting the legs to a right angle in the hang on the gymnastic wall (number of times). To assess the speed-strength qualities of female gymnasts, the following tests were used: T4-jumping up, bending over from a squat (number of times in 20 s); T5 pull-ups in 10 s (number of times); T6 long jump from a place (cm). To assess the coordination abilities of gymnasts, the «Yula» test was used, (s) (according to Karpenko L.A., Viner I.A., Sivitsky V.A., 2007) and shuttle run 4x9 m, (s) (Order of the Ministry of Youth and sport of Ukraine, 2018). Group results were compared using Student's t-test and nonparametric Rosenbaum's t-test (Q). Results: as a result of the introduction of a methodology using special exercises on the coordination ladder to increase the level of physical fitness of female gymnasts 8-9 years old during online training, statistically significant (p<0,05–0,01) improvements in performance were obtained for all tests, except the result of the «Hanging angle» test (static strength). The best results were shown by female gymnasts in speed-strength jumping exercises (T4; and T6) and coordination exercises (T7 and T8), where the probability of significant differences reached 99% at p<0,01. In tests for the development of speed-strength qualities and dynamic strength of the abdominal press and arms, the proposed exercises on the coordination ladder turned out to be effective, which was confirmed by the results of tests T1, T3, T5. Conclusions: the positive influence of the developed methodology with the use of special exercises on the coordination ladder on the level of physical fitness of female gymnasts 8-9 years old during online training was determined. It was established that the proposed methodology contributed to the increase in the level of physical fitness of female athletes of the MG in all tests in comparison with the results of female athletes of the CG. The results obtained testify to the effectiveness of the developed methodology and allow us to recommend it for use in the training process of athletes in gymnastic sports at the stage of initial and basic training, for recreational and training sessions. The proposed exercises can be used both during online and offline training.

“…Therefore, the ability of RGs to hold well-defined balance positions and maintain them for a minimum period of time so that judges can make an adequate assessment of them is a decisive factor for success in this sport (Palomares et al, 2019). That is why it is very important to develop this motor ability, especially in girls of younger school age, when the pace of balance development is the most intense (Penčić, 2014;Dobrijević et al, 2016). In addition, numerous studies have compared balance ability among athletes in different sports, and the highest level of this ability was recorded precisely in RGs (Bressel et al, 2007;Hrysomallis, 2011;Shahheidari et al, 2012), which is not a surprise considering that a significant part of training in RG derives from classical ballet exercises, and ballet is 'crowned' with supreme balance (Prochazkova et al, 2014).…”

Rhythmic gymnastics (RG) is an extremely demanding sport that has a positive effect on the exerciser’s motor status. However, in order to be able to acquire RG contents, the existence of certain minimally developed motor skills, including the ability of postural control and body stabilisation during dynamic movements, is of vital importance. The main objective of this study is to assess the role, contribution and influence of balance ability on performance scores in RG. The sample consisted of 126 international-level female rhythmic gymnasts (RGs), divided into five age categories (15 seniors, 25 juniors, 26 advanced-level RGs, 38 intermediate-level RGs, and 22 beginners). Their baseline characteristics (age, body height and mass, body mass index) were established, along with their balance abilities (balance on toes (left/right leg) test, single leg (left/right) balance test – eyes closed, double pivot in passé test). The data was analysed (descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, multivariate and univariate regression analysis) using SPSS 21.0. The results of the multivariate regression analysis indicate the existence of a statistically significant influence of the balance ability of advanced-level RGs, as well as the RGs comprising the rest of the sample, on their performance scores (p=0.01 and p=0.00, respectively), with statistically significant individual contributions of the balance on toes test – right leg (advanced-level RGs: p=0.01, total sample: p=0.02), and dynamic balance (total sample: p=0.00). The final conclusion is that balance ability is a significant predictive factor of RGs’ performance scores, with a variance explanation of 35% (advanced-level RGs), i.e. 24% (entire sample).
