Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the means and methods used to develop joint mobility, coordinative abilities, and physical fitness in Russian girls aged 5 to 6 practicing rhythmic gymnastics. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted at Sports School No. 1 in Kirov (Russia) from November 2022 to February 2023. Thirty girls were assessed for joint mobility (Split, Twist, and Bridge), coordination skills (Single Leg Standing Balance, Figure of 8 Walk, and Lying Wall Squat), and physical fitness (Long Jump Two Legs, 20-meter Sprint, and Hanging on Bent Arms). Statistical analysis employed Student's t-test and Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results: Coxofemoral mobility decreased significantly (p = 0.01; d = 0.21). Postural balance and muscular coordination improved significantly (p = 0.03 and p = 0.02, respectively; d = 0.2), and isometric strength increased (p = 0.02; d = 17.2). Associations were found between Single Leg Standing Balance, Split, and Hanging on Bent Arms (r = 0.4; p = 0.03), and between Wall Squat and Bridge (r = 0.4; p = 0.03). Conclusion: There was a loss in coxofemoral mobility and improvements in postural balance and coordination in 5 to 6-year-old girls, highlighting the importance of considering sensitive periods for physical development and the maturational state of the neuromuscular system.
