Motor knowledge and process of learning basic gymnastic elements in students of Faculty of Kinesiology

The purpose of this study was to find out the level motor knowledge of forward and backward roll before and after the process of learning, and if there are any differences between male and female students in knowledge of basic gymnastics elements. Research was conducted on a sample of 141 2nd year students, 106 male and 35 female students, which have listened to the subject of Artistic Gymnastics, on the Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Zagreb. Examination of the elements was done by three gymnastics experts, who have evaluated forward and backward roll. Examination of the elements was conducted on the floor at the beginning of lectures of Artistic Gymnastics and after six weeks of motor learning of forward and backward roll. Students participated in the process of learning forward and backward roll, with specific methodical exercises. Statistica 12 was used for data analysis. Basic descriptive parameters, t-test for dependent samples were calculated for differences between initial and final stage of treatments and t-test for independent samples were calculated to find differences between men and women. Results of t-test for dependent samples at the level of statistical significance <, 05 have shown that there were difference between forward and backward roll in men and women in initial and final grades. Women had better initial and final motor knowledge than men. Results of t-test for independent samples at the level of statistical significance <, 05 had differences between male and female students in initial and final measurement of forward roll, there were no differences in the measurement of backward roll. This is because forward roll is a more complex element and contains more details of successful execution. This study can provide an insight into one way of learning basic gymnastic elements.
