Abstract
The purpose of this study was to clarify trends of rhythmic gymnastics performance and to obtain fundamental data for the composition of routines. The study surveyed women’s individual games and four events at the 2013 All-Japan Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships (27 gymnasts), the 2013 World Championships (10 gymnasts), the 2014 World Championships (12 gymnasts), the Olympic Games in 2016 (10 gymnasts) and found the number of body difficulty performed, performance time, and duration of single difficulty on each routine. Further, the study examined BD performance time by group. A two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted by using championships as between-subjects factors and gymnastic apparatus as within-subject factors. In terms of difficulty performance time and duration of single difficulty, there were significant interactions between the 2013 Japan Championships and the 2013 World Championships. While no significant interaction was found among the 2013·2014·2016 world championships, there were significant main effects in gymnastic events (All p < .05).

The study covered the total of 236 attempts by 27 gymnasts at the 2013 All-Japan Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships, ten gymnasts at the 2013 World Championships, 12 gymnasts at the 2014 World Championships, ten gymnasts at the Olympic Games in 2016, and four apparatus routine attempts on hoop, balls, clubs, and ribbons by gymnasts who entered respective women’s individual all-around championships
Summary
Trends of Competition and Rules of Rhythmic Gymnastics. Rhythmic gymnastics are sporting events associated with the International Gymnastics Federation (acronym: F.I.G.). Judges, based on the code of points, evaluate routines performed to instrumental music and on apparatus per the D. The code of points was altered extensively after the conclusion of 2017 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games. With the abolishment of applications, judges are required to instantly assign value to gymnastic elements being performed before their eyes
