The Effects of the Arthistic Gymnastics Program on Physical Fitness of Adolescents

Abstract

The aim of the research is to determine the effects of the arthistic gymnastics program on the Physical fitness of adolescents. The sample of participants consisted of 28 participants, males, aged 14 years ± 6 months, seventh grade of "Bubanjski Heroji" elementary school in Niš. The sample was divided into two subgroups. The experimental group (EG) consisted of 14 participants who, during the experimental period, realized the program of artistic gymnastics during the main phase of a physical education class, ten weeks in two classes of 45 minutes. The control group (CG) consisted of 14 participants who during the experimental period realized the program contents of regular physical education in the main phase of physical education. The sample of motorized measuring instruments consisted of three variables of explosive power (standing long jump, triple jump off the site and vertical jump) and three variants of sprint run (20m flat out with a flying start flat out with a flying start, 30m flat out with a flying start flat out with a flying start and 50m flat out with a flying start flat out with a flying start). The program "Statistica" 8.0 for Windows was used, for calculation of basic statistics, canonical discriminatory analysis and multivariate analysis of covariates. The results of the study showed that there are statistically significant effects of the use of the artistic gymnastics exercises in the main part of the physical education course on the Physical fitness of the adolescent of the EG at the end of the experimental period.

Effects of the Acrobatic Program on the Body Composition and Flexibility of Adolescents

“…The recommendation for the duration of the experimental program of gymnastics and acrobatics with positive effects on the body composition, flexibility and motor fitness is 16 weeks (Rudd, 2016;Paunović, 2018;Miletić et al, 2019), or 12 weeks and more (Akin, 2013;Mićović et al, 2018). The experimental program of acrobatics in this study lasted 16 weeks, after which the results confirmed the positive impact on fitness components and the recommendations of previous research.…”

Influence of combined teaching of physical education and sports gymnastics on the anthropological status of elementary school students

“…The reason for statistically non-significant changes for flexibility (DBV) should be found in insufficient attention to the development of this ability, both by teachers at school and in the structure of training programs for selected sports (Sands, & McNeal, 2000). On the other hand, studies (Paunović, 2018;Miletić et al, 2022) clearly showed the positive effects of physical education classes in combination with sports gymnastics training on the flexibility of elementary school students.…”

“…after 12 weeks. Measurements were carried out during regular physical education classes, using standardized measuring instruments with satisfactory metric characteristics (Findak et al, 1996;Paunović, 2018;Miletić, 2022). The measurement was carried out by expert and trained meriocims, physical education professors and students of doctoral academic studies.…”
