- Abstract:
- Currently, the international movement follows the principle of reaching athletes without gender differences, and both men and women should be involved in all sports. In this regard, recently the All-Russian Federation of Rhythmic Gymnastics has been actively promoting new directions in rhythmic gymnastics, one of which is working in mixed pairs. This is a rather spectacular direction, the content of the competitive compositions of which includes both objects from women's rhythmic gymnastics (hoop, ball) and from men's (hoop, gymnastic stick). A distinctive feature of this direction is the use of complex supports, throwing objects and acrobatic elements.
A distinctive feature of the competitive activity of this sport is the demonstration of the best male and female qualities and abilities. And all this is embodied in a single compositional solution. This requires an appropriate approach to training athletes. For example, acrobatic elements in women's disciplines are different: mostly on the floor and in isolation, and men are not ready to simultaneously interact with a partner and simultaneously demonstrate mastery of the subject, which allows them to demonstrate a completely different level of coordination complexity. In this combination, male and female skills are shown together. For men it is strength, endurance, for women it is plasticity, lightness, virtuosity of possession of an object.
As a rule, the partners in sports pairs have good classical training in rhythmic gymnastics in an individual program. As partners, with an insufficiently developed structure of departments of sports schools that have been working in this direction for a long time, they attract athletes from other sports - gymnastics, competitive acrobatics, martial arts.
Thus, the problems of this study are due to the presence of the following contradictions: on the one hand, there is a global trend towards the active involvement of men in artistic gymnastics, on the other hand, the lack of training technologies in rhythmic gymnastics that ensure the formation of the skills of athletes of mixed pairs, taking into account gender differences; On the other hand, there is a wide variety of interactions through acrobatic supports in mixed pairs, which allow to increase the technical value and entertainment of competitive programs, on the other hand, there is a lack of knowledge about the factors of successful development of acrobatic supports by athletes of mixed pairs in rhythmic gymnastics.
