Conditioning and Coordination a Necessity in Appropriation of Learning Program Artistic Gymnastics with Students
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to recognize, evaluate, compare and develop the level of conditioning-coordinating preparation of students, in the context of realizing the learning process of program elements in practical lessons. This study was attended by 27 students. Participants were selected randomly (of 10 groups having the 2nd Bachelor course two were separated) and were included in this study at their desire. The student group taken in this study would be trained for 8 weeks, according to a defined physical fitness “supplement” program during this period, with the twice-weekly focus on developing plyometric jump and strength exercises for the major muscle groups. , as well as other speed-force coordinate exercises with varying tempo and direction, accompanied by flexion, muscle extension and articulation mobility exercises (stretching). All students included in this study were measured before and after the 8-week training period on the tests: vertical jump, long jump, 20m running, 5x10m running, flexibility, and anthropometric parameters related to these tests. At the end of the training period, the students included in this study had a significant improvement (p <0.05), in the vertical jump with the help of the arms with the hands at the waist by (3.6 ± 0.05cm or 7.4%) and in the vertical jump with the help of the arms (4.8 ± 0.07cm or 8.89%), in the long jump (9.3 ± 1.66 cm or 3.72%), in 20m running (-0.32 ± 0.15sec or 9.6%), in 5x10m running with a change of direction (-0.28 ± 0.35sec or 2.13%), in flexion of front trunk (2.22 ± 2.39cm or 18.7%) as well as back-to-back rotation of the shoulder (6.63 ± 3.39cm or 7.75%).These tests were associated with anthropometric parameters such as, age (22.7 years), weight (75.2 ± 7.5 kg), height (1.82 ± 0.07cm), BMI (22.4 ± 1.39), fitness index (Esslinger) at first assisted measurement of the arms with a second measurement difference of 1.33 ± 0.78 or 1.29% and without the help of arms with a second measurement difference of (1.38 ± 1.02 or 1.56%), which had less significant improvements. The results of this study showed that the effects of the plyometric and strength-velocity training methods, coupled with the methods of developing passive-active flexibility, increased with significant indicators especially on the conditioning-coordination performance skills of the students taken in this study.
