EFFECTIVE MEANS AND METHODS FOR DEVELOPING FLEXIBILITY QUALITIES IN SPORTS GYMNASTICS

Аннотация

This article analyzes effective tools and methods for developing flexibility in artistic gymnastics. Flexibility is an important physical quality that determines a gymnast’s joint mobility, the elasticity of the musculoskeletal system, and the ability to perform movements with a wide range of motion. In artistic gymnastics, the correct, aesthetic, and safe execution of complex technical elements depends on sufficient mobility of the shoulder girdle, spine, hip, and knee joints. The research results show that the regular use of flexibility exercises-dynamic stretching during the preparatory part of training and static and active stretching during the final part-helps improve joint mobility, perform technical elements with a greater range of motion, and reduce the risk of injury. Purposeful development of flexibility is an essential condition for improving the special physical and technical preparedness of young gymnasts.
