Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the link between physical fitness and technical execution scores among 46 young rhythmic gymnasts, aged around 9.9 years, separated into qualifiers and non-qualifiers based on competition results.
- Significant differences were observed in technical execution scores and specific fitness tests (like shoulder flexion and leg raises) between the two groups, but not in muscular endurance or jumping ability.
- For non-qualifiers, factors like flexibility and body fat were major contributors to technical execution scores, indicating that physical fitness plays a more prominent role in lower-level performers.
