“…With the continuous development of modern rhythmic gymnastics, the competition in international competitive sports is becoming increasingly fierce; in order to pursue higher, more difficult, new, and clever technical movements, special training with high intensity and large amount of exercise is carried out; the ensuing sports injuries are becoming more and more serious, which restricts the further improvement of the athletes' competitive level. How to solve the problem of prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of athletes' injuries, so as to ensure the normal training and competition of athletes, is an important part of competitive work [ 1 ]. Competition is usually accompanied by risks.…”

The purpose of this study was to solve the problem of the influence of body posture and different exercise intensity on athletes’ limb injuries, to meet the needs of understanding athletes’ injuries, and to make up for the lack of investigations on athletes’ limb injuries; this also increases the chances of an athlete avoiding injury. Severe acute sports injuries of high-level gymnasts endanger the personal safety of athletes. Many movements in gymnastics are done in the air much higher than the ground, and there is no fulcrum when the athlete does the movements; this just can only maintain balance and change your body posture through your own feelings, a slight error can easily cause your head or upper body to fall down, and the fragile spine cannot withstand the strong impact of the ground, resulting in high vertebral fractures, high paraplegia, and even death. Therefore, through a survey of 126 rhythmic gymnasts who participated in the 2011 “China Art Sports Cup” China Rhythmic Gymnastics Championship, a total of 172 injuries were found in 136 gymnasts, and the injury risk analysis was carried out from the main characteristics of the injuries.

“…allow solving a variety of tasks of the physical, aesthetic, emotional, spiritual development of female athletes (Montosa et al, 2018;Deyneko & Shevchuk, 2019;Semyzorova & Krasova, 2021;Myroshnychenko, 2006;Rutkauskaite & Skarbalius, 2012;Vernetta et al, 2017;Sutula, 2018;. Analyzing the current state of rhythmic gymnastics, the authors of Osta et al (2021) note that in order to be competitive in the international arena, female athletes need to quickly adapt to the development of the sport and changes in competitive rights, which requires mastering a large number of complex and latest technical movements in conditions of high intensity training. An analysis of the competition rules of this Olympic cycle (2022)(2023)(2024) showed that the compositions of female gymnasts were filled with more dynamic elements, during which it is very important to fix the required amplitude of movement, which is unattainable without an appropriate level of flexibility development.…”

Purpose: to prove the effectiveness of the technique of game stretching to increase the level of development of flexibility in female gymnasts aged 5-6 years. Material & Methods: the study involved 30 female athletes aged 5-6 years who are engaged in rhythmic gymnastics. According to the results of the initial testing, a group of female gymnasts was divided into control (n=15) and main (n=15), taking into account the absence of significant differences in the indicators of flexibility tests. Both groups of young gymnasts trained in accordance with the curriculum for the Youth Sports School in rhythmic gymnastics (1999). In the training sessions of female athletes of the main group, a specially developed technique of game stretching was included, aimed at developing flexibility. Results: the obtained results of the study give grounds to assert that the proposed methodology, by which female gymnasts of the main group (MG) trained, contributed to a more pronounced (p<0,05; p<0,01) increase in the level of flexibility development compared to the results of female athletes control group (CG), who trained according to the traditional flexibility development program. So in tests T1 "Extension in the knee joints" (cm); T2 "Twisting the stick" (cm); T4 "Gymnastic bridge" (points) significant differences in test scores were found with a probability of 99% at p≤0.01. In tests T3 “Backward bend in lying position” (cm); T5 “Performing splits on the right”, (points) and T6 “Performing splits on the left”, (points) there were also found significant differences in indicators with a probability of 95% at p≤0.05 between the main and control groups. However, in the T7 test “Performance of transverse splits” (points), an unreliable difference was obtained between the performance of the gymnasts of the main and control groups (p>0,05), although an improvement in the results in this test was observed in both groups. Conclusions: the results of the study showed the effectiveness of the method of game stretching to increase the level of development of flexibility in female gymnasts 5-6 years old. The technique contributed to a more pronounced (p<0,05; p<0,01) increase in the level of development of flexibility among female athletes of the main group (MG) compared with the results of female gymnasts in the control group (CG). So, in tests T1 "Extension in the knee joints" (cm); T2 "Twisting the stick" (cm); T4 "Gymnastic bridge" (points) significant differences in test scores were found with a probability of 99% at p≤0,01. In tests T3 “Backward bend in lying position” (cm); T5 “Performing splits on the right”, (points) and T6 “Performing splits on the left”, (points) there were also found significant differences in indicators with a probability of 95% at p≤0,05 between the main and control groups. The results obtained allow us to recommend the developed methodology for use in the training process of young gymnasts at the stage of initial training. And test exercises were applied that are not included in the Curriculum, such as T1 "Extension in the knee joints" (cm); T2 "Twisting the stick" (cm); T3 “Backward bend in lying position” (cm) is quite informative and can be used to control the flexibility of gymnasts at all stages of preparation.
