Abstract

Aim: The purpose of the study is to analyze the rotation types, numbers, frequencies, and preferred rotation directions in “dynamic elements with rotation” in all routines of rhythmic gymnasts. Methods: The gymnasts' individual All-around Final competition routines (n = 96, 19.8±3.3 years old) at the 39th European Championships in Rhythmic Gymnastics in 2023 were investigated. The data were derived from an analysis of the routines documented throughout the competitions. In the analysis the Rhythmic Gymnastics evaluation rules were considered. The IBM SPSS 25.0 statistics program was used for all descriptive analyses. Results: The number of rotation types was 8.3±0.95. The highest number of rotations was found in the hoop routines. Considering each rotation, executed the number of rotations was determined as 14.4±1.6. The total number of body rotations performed by all gymnasts on four routines was determined as 57.5 ± 6.5. In the pre-acrobatic elements, rotation no 1, 2, 3, 4 and in the vertical rotations rotation no 1, 2, 4 were mostly preferred. The Illusion was the most preferred in all rotational movements. In dynamic elements with rotation, gymnasts preferred the right direction approximately twice as much as the left direction. Conclusion: Excessive repetitions to perform movements without mistakes with perfect timing and correct body technique may cause loads, micro-traumas, muscle damage, and asymmetries on the body. While creating the choreographic designs of the composition, protective measures can be taken by paying attention to the load balance on both sides of the body.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada ritmik cimnastikçilerin tüm rutinlerinde “rotasyonlu dinamik elemenler” içindeki rotasyon çeşitleri, sayıları, sıklıkları ve tercih edilen rotasyon yönleri analiz edildi. Yöntem: 2023 yılında düzenlenen 39. Avrupa Ritmik Cimnastik Şampiyonası’nda cimnastikçilerin (n = 96, 19,8±3,3 yaş) bireysel All-around Final yarışma rutinleri incelenmiştir. Veriler yarışmalar sırasında kaydedilen rutinlerin analiz edilmesiyle elde edilmiştir. Analizlerde Ritmik Cimnastik değerlendirme kuralları dikkate alınmıştır. Tanımlayıcı bütün istatistiksel analizler IBM SPSS 25.0 istatistik programı kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Tüm rotasyonlu dinamik elemenlerde; rotasyon çeşidi sayısı, 8,3±0,95 olarak saptanmıştır. En yüksek rotasyon sayısı çember rutinlerinde gözlenmiştir. Her bir rotasyon dikkate alındığında, gerçekleştirilen rotasyon sayısı 14,4±1,6 olarak belirlenmiştir. Tüm cimnastikçilerin dört rutinde gerçekleştirdiği toplam vücut rotasyon sayısı 57,5±6,5 olarak saptanmıştır. Preakrobatik elementlerden 1, 2, 3 ve 4 numaralı ve dikey rotasyonlardan 1, 2 ve 4 numaralı rotasyonlar en fazla tercih edilen rotasyonlar olarak belirlenmiştir. İllüzyon tüm rotasyon hareketlerinde en çok tercih edilen hareket olmuştur. Cimnastikçiler rotasyonlu dinamik elemenlerde sağ yönü sol yöne göre yaklaşık iki kat daha fazla tercih etmişlerdir. Sonuç: Mükemmel zamanlama ve doğru vücut tekniği ile hareketleri hatasız gerçekleştirmek için aşırı tekrarlar yapmak vücutta yüklenmelere, mikro travmalara, kas hasarlarına ve asimetrilere neden olabilir. Kompozisyonun koreografik tasarımları oluşturulurken vücudun her iki tarafındaki yük dengesine dikkat edilerek koruyucu önlemler alınabilir.
