Correlation between efficiency in performing body elements and elements with a rope and ribbon in rhythmic gymnastics

Basic elements of rhythmic gymnastics are divided into: body elements (elements with no apparatus) and elements with apparatus. The distinction is that rhythmic gymnastics has to combine two motor tasks simultaneously. The research has been conducted on the basis of the abovementioned fact in order to establish the connection between performances of elements without apparatus (body elements with successful performing of technique elements) and elements with a rope and ribbon in rhythmic gymnastics. The sample of subjects in this study consisted of 122 female students. All the subjects have successfully mastered the given elements and were given a passing grade on the final exam in Rhythmic gymnastics. All subjects were tested with a series of 8 specific gymnastic skills (Furjan-Mandić, 2007). Fourteen specific gymnastic skills were based on body elements that were, in this specific gymnastic skill, used as independent (predictor) variables. Correlations between performances of the body elements without apparatus and performances of the elements with a rope and ribbon were determined by the multiple regression analysis. The research has indicated that there was a significant correlation between the performance of some elements without apparatus and effectiveness in carrying out selected tasks with the rope and ribbon in rhythmic gymnastics.
