Nassib, SH, Mkaouer, B, Riahi, SH, Wali, SM, and Nassib, S. Prediction of gymnastics physical profile through an international program evaluation in women artistic gymnastics. J Strength Cond Res 34(2): 577–586, 2020—The purpose of this study was to investigate the most appropriate aptitudes for top-level sporting results to identify physical profile of talent identified women's artistic gymnastics (WAG). Forty-eight women's artistic gymnasts in the provincial team (age 11.12 ± 1.22 years; height 1.35 ± 0.04 m; body mass 28.5 ± 4.04 kg) voluntarily participated in this study. Anthropometrics measures and the WAG battery physical tests were used to ensure a systematic approach for the WAG development worldwide. The present findings revealed that the strength (static strength, speed strength, and endurance strength), power and flexibility seem to be important and essential for good performance. Another characteristic that emerged from the results of the physical domain is coordination. This motor skill may seem relevant to gymnastics, they are applicable to the gymnasts' ability to perform all apparatus and more generally they relate to the ability to accurately perform whole-body skills supported by the leg on the floor, balance beam, and vault. Therefore, athletic performance can be boosted using combination of several characteristics that seems to be important for an elite gymnast. This reinforcing the view that systematic approach for the development and mufti-dimensional profile seems promising.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference between two pedagogical methods in teaching/learning hurdle clearance such as the traditional learning method which was based on verbal feedback and the new technology through motion analysis and video modeling which was based on self-modeling, expert modeling and model's superposition. Twenty-seven sports science students took part in this study. Modeling group composed of 15 students and traditional group of 12 students. Both groups participated in a 10-week hurdle clearance learning (two sessions per week) which was composed of 10 sets (5 hurdles clearance per set) in total 1000 repetitions. The findings indicated a better enhancement of the learning score in the modeling group compared to the traditional one (14.26 ± 2.05 pts vs. 11.66 ± 1.72 pts, respectively with p < 0.01). In addition, the analysis of delta-percentage revealed a high increase of technical performance in the modeling group. In conclusion, video feedback with model's superposition led to a better improvement of learning in hurdle clearance more than verbal feedback.
Objectives: The current study aimed to underline the relevant symptoms perceived by athletes as well at examining the coping strategies which help them improve their performance in competitive sport events. Methods: 18 Tunisian national male athletes specialty 400m were voluntary recruited for this study. All of them were ranked in the top scorers at Tunisian national championship and competing at recent World Championships. Athletes first completed the inventory of stress symptoms before the competition and immediately following the trial, then they were asked to complete the Inventory Questionnaire of Coping Strategies in Sports competition. Results: The findings revealed that the development of the physical and psychological symptoms can impair the performance of the athletes. To cope with this stress, athletes use the Task-focused coping strategies and especially Effort expenditure and relaxation one. Likewise, athletes used more often Seeking support and Distraction distancing when the source of stress was related to physical problems. Conclusion: Its recommend that coaches should keep up related strategies in training sessions in order to control and modify the tension and stress before competition in a planned and regular method and coping strategies
The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of different teaching / learning strategies (i.e., verbal feedback, video feedback with modeling, and video feedback with simulation) on performing basic vaulting skills on the vault table. Three male groups of undergraduate students in physical education (i.e., 135 students, divided into 3 groups of 45 subjects) took part in this study. The groups (i.e., traditional, modeling and simulation groups) were divided on equal terms; students are not gymnasts, have the same level and taught by the same teacher. All participants were pretested to determine initial skill level (i.e., direct piked vault). This study covers 24 stoop direct vault sessions, 21 learning and three evaluations spread over 12 weeks (i.e., 2 sessions per week). A video motion analysis (i.e., using Kinovea software) was used to evaluate direct piked vault skills/performance. The results indicate a better improvement of performance in the modeling group compared to the simulation and traditional groups (vault score, 11.80±1.22 pts, 10.85±1.50 pts and 9.01±1.30 pts, respectively with p<0.01). In addition, the analysis of delta-percentage revealed a considerable enhancements of technical performance in the modeling group (46.93%) compared to simulation (27.62%) and traditional (21.64%) groups. In conclusion, video feedback with model’s superposition had led to better learning improvements in vault jump compared with simulation and verbal feedback methods. The video return with the overlay of the model enabled a lot of basic skills learning improvement at the vault table.
