Features of choreographic training in artistic gymnastics

Athletic gymnastics combines technical complexity with artistic expression, where choreographic training ensures gracefulness, rhythm and emotional expressiveness of exercises. The relevance of the study is due to the constant complication of the competition rules of the International Gymnastics Federation, which are increasingly focused on the artistic side of performances, the originality of choreography and the expressiveness of performance. The purpose of the study: to study the peculiarities of choreographic training of gymnasts in artistic gymnastics. Research methods: theoretical analysis and generalisation of scientific and methodological literature. Results of the study. The study examines the characteristics of choreographic training for gymnasts in artistic gymnastics at different stages of long-term sports training: the initial training stage, the preliminary basic training stage, the specialised basic training stage, the training stage for higher achievements, the stage of maximum realisation of individual potential, the stage of maintaining higher athletic skills, the stage of gradual decline in achievements, and the stage of withdrawal from high-level sport. Conclusions. Choreographic training is an integral part of the long-term sports training system for gymnasts, which not only ensures the artistic expressiveness and aesthetic appeal of performances, but also contributes to the development of coordination skills, improvement of movement flexibility, emotional expressiveness and overall technical proficiency. At each stage of long-term sports training, choreographic training has specific tasks, means, methods and training loads, which vary depending on age, gender, skill level and stage of the training cycle. The effectiveness of choreographic training depends on clear structuring, a combination of classical choreography, folk and contemporary dance styles, regular monitoring and individualisation for each athlete. Choreographic training in artistic gymnastics should be differentiated and systematic at every stage of athletic development. Its optimal organisation contributes to improving the artistic value of performances, technical skills, psychological stability and competitiveness of gymnasts. Prospects for further research: to study the influence of modern choreographic styles on the artistic expressiveness and technical complexity of compositions in artistic gymnastics.
