  • Ginnastica Artistica
    LA GINNASTICA ARTISTICA Ilenia Federica La ginnastica artistica è una disciplina della ginnastica e uno sport olimpico. L'atleta deve essere dotato di forza, velocità ed elevata mobilità articolare. Alcuni elementi, quelli principali, come la verticale, possono essere appresi anche in età adulta. STORIA DELLA GINNASTICA ARTISTICA La ginnastica artistica è uno sport dalle origini molto antiche.Le culture più importanti che la praticarono sono quella Cinese, quella Egizia e quella Micenea. Per quanto riguarda i Greci, la ginnastica fu prima praticata dai Dori. Però gli antichi avevano un altro concetto di ginnastica artistica: essi non la intendevano praticata con gli attrezzi, bensì basata sugli esercizi che corrispondono all'attuale atletica leggera, alla lotta, al pugilato. I Romani non accettavano la ginnastica perché la ritenevano propria degli schiavi o degli stranieri. Solo dopo il Mille la cultura fisica riacquistò importanza. Nel XIX secolo, F.L. Jhan inaugurò a Berlino la prima palestra pubblica all'aperto. Egli consigliò vari esercizi sulla corsa e sul salto, poi introdusse l'uso degli attrezzi, tra cui quattro femminili e sei maschili. In comune ne hanno due: il corpo libero e il volteggio. - CORPO LIBERO Il corpo libero (floor, FX) maschile prevede una serie di esercizi senza accompagnamento musicale o coreografia, a differenza di quello femminile. Si svolge su una pedana quadrata ampia 12x12 metri, con un metro di sicurezza intorno. - VOLTEGGIO Nel volteggio (valut, VT) il ginnasta corre lungo il tumbling che è lungo 25 metri, salta su una pedana posizionata davanti alla tavola e dopo aver appoggiato le mani sull'attrezzo esegue il volteggio vero e proprio.

  • Elite Female Gymnasts at Two Olympic Games – Quality Or Luck?
    Delaš Kalinski S.: ELITE FEMALE GYMNASTS AT TWO OLYMPIC GAMES – QUALITY….. Vol. 9 Issue 2: 153 - 164 ELITE FEMALE GYMNASTS AT TWO OLYMPIC GAMES – QUALITY OR LUCK? Sunčica Delaš Kalinski Faculty of Kinesiology, University of Split, Croatia Original article Abstract Relatively small number of gymnasts participate at the Olympic Games and even smaller number participates at Olympic Games consecutively, due to numerous different reasons. Therefore, this paper aims are: 1) to determine the number of female gymnasts who participated in the C-I competition at Olympic Games held in 2012 and at Olympic Games held in 2016; 2) to determine characteristics and differences in results of consecutive participants at these two Olympic Games; 3) to determine differences between consecutive participants and other competitors at the afore defined competitions. It was found that 25 female gymnasts participated at two consecutive Olympic Games. From one to another Olympic Games, consecutive participants have numerically increase all scores; significantly increased Execution and Final Scores on the uneven bars; significantly decrease Execution and Final Score on the balance beam. Compared to other gymnasts from the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games, consecutive participants had numerically higher values in all variables, but only some of them have been determined as significantly different. Consecutive participants confirmed the possibility of continuous quality of skills development in mid 20s. Keywords: consecutive participants, C-I competition, 2012-2016 Olympic Games, ANOVA. INTRODUCTION Being an Olympic athlete is a dream performances; Tucker (2011) believes that of many people and the aim of most elite superior performances can be achieved athletes. Different studies quote somewhat within a significantly shorter period of different time which is needed in order to time.
