Introduction. Gymnastics is an activity having its own requirements, which distinguish it from other sports activities. The availability of these requirements placed on its practitioners, allows them a greater opportunity to absorb and elaborate kinetic skills, which are one of the pillars that must be available to reach high levels. The gymnastics is performed on six different apparatuses. Each apparatus has its own performance nature that distinguishes it from the rest of apparatuses. The design of kinetic routines on these apparatuses requires the coach to update training methods and develop them in order to reach a kinetic performance level of the gymnast appropriate to the level of supreme kinetic performance. Aim. Is to identify the impact of concurrent training on Growth Hormone, some body compositions, specific physical abilities and the skill performance level of gymnastics juniors under 8 years. Material and Methods. The authors used the experimental method, using experimental design with two groups; one is experimental and the other is control with pre and post-tests due to its suitability for the application of research and its procedures. The sample has been selected by the intentional way of Gymnastics juniors of Suez Canal Authority Club under 8 years. The sample included 12 players. Result. The proposed training program has proven effectiveness in improving the level of growth hormone after effort, BMI, skeletal muscle mass, and fat mass and free fat mass, as well as the skill performance of the gymnastics juniors.
Introduction. A gymnast executes various skill performances continuously on a pommel horse requiring explosive power. The gymnast is in urgent need to endure this quality, which aims to maintain the explosive power (EP) performance level. Aim. The research aims to identify the impact of a training programme to develop explosive power endurance (EPE) on selected biochemical variables and skill performance level, namely catecholamine (CA), free radicals, malondialdehyde (MDA), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and pommel horse skill performance level among 2nd-class gymnasts Material & Methods. The researchers used the experimental method implementing 1 experimental group design (pre- and post-tests). The basic research sample was intentionally selected from 2nd-class gymnasts. The basic experiment sample consisted of 4 athletes. The training programme was applied for 12 weeks. Result. The proposed training programme has positive impact on the biochemical variables and skill performance level among the pommel horse gymnasts. Conclusion. Skill performance on the pommel horse has improved because of improved biochemical capabilities by applying training of EPE development fitting the requirements of gymnastics skill composition during competition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
