Artistic Gymnastics exercises to develop balance on the Beam at an early age

Abstract

The initial training of the gymnast is oriented towards learning various apparatuses, where the balance beam is shown as one of the references with the greatest aesthetic, expressive and coordinative demands, given the importance of capacity in the effectiveness of technical execution. Accordingly, the study focused on designing a system of Artistic Gymnastics exercises to develop balance on the Beam at an early age, for this a type of descriptive research was assumed, going through a phase of theoretical systematization, where bibliometric analysis It was used as a resource to collect and organize the information, using the computer tool VOSviewer 1.6.6; The second phase focused on the development of the proposal which has an objective, theoretical foundation, four groups of special exercises to develop balance and methodological guidelines, it was concluded with the evaluation by specialist criteria. Adequate scientific production from 2015 onwards is demonstrated from theory; research is oriented towards biomechanical analysis, capacity development, technical improvement, and training management and sports optimization. The proposal focuses on balance work in four contexts: on the floor on a line, on a Beam attached to the floor, on a Beam at a low height, on a Beam at a medium height. The specialist criterion shows a “good” agreement of theoretical-methodological coherence, scientific social utility, elements and components of the proposal, importance and belonging, verifying H₁ and rejecting H₀.
