Abstract

The article deals with the physical training of young acrobats as a factor of their successful sport activity. The conducted analysis of the special literature has shown that despite the studying of issues related to the physical training of acrobats, the search for new techniques and means to improve development of their physical qualities is relevant. Therefore, purposeful study of rational means and methods aimed at improving the level of physical training of young acrobats will allow to effectively solve the problem of developing technical skills and improving the results in competitive conditions.
 It has been determined that the systematic use of basic gymnastics has a positive impact on the development of acrobats' physical qualities. Basic gymnastics is a publicly available means of physical training. A variety of basic gymnastics allows choosing exercises available to athletes of any age. The traditional means are the following groups of exercises: combat, applied, general development; free, the simplest acrobatic and elementary exercises of rhythmic gymnastics, exercises in hangings and on sport apparatus, dance movements.
 The study has found that under the influence of the developed exercise complexes of the basic gymnastics, the movements of 8-9 years old acrobats became more accurate, that contributed to the test exercises presentation at a higher technical level. The developed methodology for improving the physical training of young acrobats has helped to increase the level of development of speed, strength, coordination and flexibility.
