A simple method for the selection of preschool girls in rhythmic gymnastics
The training process in rhythmic gymnastics starts around the age of five. It is very important that the selection of talented and skilled girls be carried out in the early phases of their life. The main selection factors in rhythmic gymnastics are dictated by the very rigid demands that distinguish this sport from others. The main criterions in the specification equation for rhythmic gymnastics are flexibility and aesthetics of movement. The goal of this study was to construct and apply a simple method for the selection of girls who achieved the best results in flexibility and have a body mass index (BMI) suitable for rhythmic gymnastics. The sample was made of 78 girls, aged four, five and six, who participated in a sports kindergarten. The variables included in this analysis were flexibility, body height, body weight and BMI. The differences between the girls were obtained by t-test analysis. Factor analysis was used to determine the position of subject on the factor component. From the obtained results it can be concluded that there is a significant difference in the subjects’ basic anthropometrics characteristics, but no significant difference in flexibility. The factor analysis results singled out only twelve subjects meeting all the selection criteria.
