Abstract
Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the objectivity of gymnastic judging, and the validity and reliability of using videotape recorders in gymnastic judging. Five judges from the competition and 10 additional judges viewed the video replays for 10 selected routines from uneven parallel bar and side horse vaults 4 wk after the competition. Intercorrelations showed high objectivity for the uneven parallel bars and moderate objectivity for the side horse vault. A high validity resulted between the competition scores and the video replays for the bars, but no validity was established for the vaults. The judges had very high reliability on repeated replays for the bars, but no reliability for the vault. A new technique for scoring the side horse vault should be developed.
