| Annotation: | The article discusses topical issues of improving technical training in gymnastics using the example of performing an element of increased difficulty in exercises on parallel bars – a swing backward from a handstand to a straight handstand. The authors justify the need to introduce biomechanical analysis into training practice, since modern requirements for the performance of gymnastic exercises are steadily growing, and the timely development of promising elements is the key to successful performance at high-level competitions. The purpose of the study is to develop an effective methodology for teaching this element based on the presented kinematic characteristics. The work carries out a biomechanical analysis of the technique of performing the exercise by highly qualified gymnasts, highlights the preparatory, main and final stages, as well as the phases of accumulation, implementation and depreciation. Linear speeds of body links` movement required bending angles in shoulder and hip joints, trajectories of joint movement, as well as values of the height of lifting the total center of body weight are calculated. The data obtained forms the basis of a phased training methodology for young gymnasts, including simulation and summing exercises, a system of criteria for assessing the correctness of movements and recommendations for correcting typical errors. Experimental testing of the developed methodology has shown its high efficiency: gymnasts of the experimental group mastered the exercise much faster (an average of 175 attempts versus 302 in the control group), made fewer gross errors and received higher final referee ratings. The proposed approach to mastering the technique of gymnastic elements can be recommended for use in the training process of both young and qualified gymnasts. | ||
