IFFERENCES IN MOTOR ABILITIES OFGYMNASTS IN RELATION TO CHRONOLOGICALMATURITY 2023 796.015.52.4-055.1 http://ezaposleni.singidunum.ac.rs/rest/sciNaucniRezultati/oai/record/1/9700 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/376425976_DIFFERENCES_IN_MOTOR_ABILITIES_OF_GYMNASTS_IN_RELATION_TO_CHRONOLOGICAL_MATURITY#fullTextFileContent P. Veličković S. Veličković M. Paunović D. Đorđević B. Marović S. Pivač The aim of this research was to determine the differences in motor abilities of gymnasts inrelation to chronological maturity. The sample of participants were consisted of 15 gymnasts, aged7 to 13 years, active members of the Gymnastics club "Niš". The participants were divided intogroups based on their age, where the 1st group was consisted of 6 competitors (7-8 years old), the2nd group was consisted of 5 competitors (9-10 years old) and the 3rd group was consisted of 4competitors (11-13 years old). The sample of variables were consisted of variables to assessexplosive leg strength (countermovement jump (CMJ), countemovement jump with arm swing(CMJa) and long jump (LJ)), flexibility (stick shoulder turn (ST), forward split (FS) and sit and reach(SR)), and balance (flamingo balance test (FT), Y test (YT) and Bass test (BT)). Basic descriptiveparameters, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Z and ANOVA were taken into account for statistical dataprocessing. The results of the study have showed significant differences between the 1st (7-8years) and 3rd (11-13 years) group and the 2nd (9-10 years) and 3rd (11-13 years) group in allvariables of explosive leg strength (CMJ, CMJa, LJ), and significant differences between the 1st and2nd groups in the CMJa and LJ. In balance variables, the results have showed significant differencesbetween the 2nd and 3rd group (YT and BT), but also significant differences between the 1st and3rd group (YT). The obtained differences are mostly in favor of older gymnasts, which can belargely attributed to the length of training experience. Whether maturation has an effect on themanifested differences should be further investigated. conferenceObject 332 338 Fis Communications 2023
