RUIZ CASAS, Jairo; ORTEGA PARRA, Arles Javier; BUSTOS VIVIESCAS, Brian Johan  and  CORREA VILORIA, Milton. Quality evaluation of the performance in parallel bars exercise technique. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2023, vol.37, n.4  Epub May 02, 2024. ISSN 1561-3100.

Introduction:

The difficulty and performance of the apparatuses play an important role in men's artistic gymnastics competitions. However, there are few studies evaluating the exercise technique in parallel bars.

Objective:

To design an instrument for evaluating the quality of performance in the technique of parallel bars exercises in men's artistic gymnastics.

Method:

Three male young gymnasts, from the North Men's Artistic Gymnastics Team, participated (age 15.67 ± 0.58; height 1.65 ± 0.08 m; body mass 55.67 ± 3.40 kg; BMI 20.37 ± 0.69; body fat 5.90 ± 0.61%; muscle mass 46.50 ± 2.85%; experience 9.75 ± 0.96 years; national competitions 7.00 ± 0.82; international competitions 5.50 ± 1.29). The design was structured based on each apparatus of the routine in parallel bars and indicators were determined in quality, difficulty, performance, among others. The routine to be performed was predicted and compared with the results in real competition.

Results:

The predicted score was similar to that of the competition. There were no statistically significant differences with the value obtained in the competition (p > 0.05).

Conclusions:

This design constitutes a viable tool to structure routines on parallel bars. In addition, it can control the training and competitions of young male gymnasts because it allows obtaining results similar to those of competitions.
