Contributions Regarding the Learning of the Specific Motor Content of Artistic Training in the Aerobic Gymnastics

Abstract

This paper's contribution envisages the effectiveness of an applicative intervention in selecting the most efficient motor structures to improve the artistic training during the general training process, and making the useful combination in creating exercises that are specific to the rules of this sport for the competition activity. This research started from the hypothesis stating that presumably, the structures selected from the specific motor content and their algorithmics ensure the improvement of artistic training in the beginner aerobic gymnastics athletes. The study was conducted on the 15 female athletes comprising the “Vasile Alecsandri” University of Bacău aerobic gymnastics group. The observations were assessed during the training process (training period), and during the competitions that took place between 2011 and 2012. The assessment tests consisted in rhythmicity and motor musicality challenges, using percussion and movement to observe the tonality, the sense of tempo, the concordance between music and movement. After organizing the special themes in the training sessions for the artistic training, and after creatively using the suggested operational models, an improvement was recorded concerning the space orientation ability, general and segment coordination, creative behaviour, and artistic performance. The means suggested in this paper have proved to be accessible, and by looking at the values recorded at the end of the study, one can say that they have facilitated the learning of the artistic component of the specific aerobic gymnastics motor content.
