A Study of the Features of Improving the Coordination of Movements in Group Exercises with a Hoop in Girls Aged 10 and 11

The article presents a study of the problem of finding an effective method of teaching and improving coordination skills in group exercises in rhythmic gymnastics. The aim of the article is to present special exercises developed and experimentally substantiated to improve the coordination of movements in training groups of girls aged 10 and 11 who perform group exercises with a hoop. The study is based on the methods of analysis of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical observation, testing, pedagogical experiment, methods of mathematical statistics. The author conducted a pedagogical experiment to test the effectiveness of special exercises aimed at improving the coordination of movements in group exercises with a hoop in girls aged 10 and 11. The experiment involved the introduction of sets of exercises into the training process (five series of exercises of different types) to improve the coordination of movements in a competitive performance with a hoop. These sets are aimed at achieving maximum synchronization, accuracy, coordination of movements of all gymnasts in the team, which in turn will positively affect the competitive result. Particular attention in the sets was paid to the following aspects: the mastering of given positions and amplitudes of body movements by the whole team; reproduction of specified amplitudes of movements in a given rhythm by all members of the team; improvement of orientation in space; improvement of the ability to rearrange connections of movements; improvement of the hooping skills. The article also presents practical applications of the proposed exercises. The article provides an analysis of the indicators of musical-rhythmic and coordination training of gymnasts before and after the experiment, as well as an analysis of the judges' scores for making a competitive performance with a hoop. The article confirms the effectiveness of the developed exercises, as evidenced by a comparative analysis of the research results. The gymnasts of the experimental group significantly reduced the number of errors in the test "Musical and Rhythmic Abilities" and increased their indicators in tests assessing coordination abilities, e.g., "Catching a Ruler with the Right and Left Hands", "Dynamic Equilibrium". They also began to perform the hoop throws more precisely and learned to throw it in new ways, which proves an increase in the coordination of movements in the team. Thus, the developed exercises presented in the article have a beneficial effect on the experimental group. They expand the athletes' motor abilities and contribute to the improvement of the gymnasts' preparedness, which helps to improve the coordination of their movements in group exercises with a hoop.
