Algorithmic program - support in learning of ‘handspring forward with 1½ tucked salto forward’ on vault
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper aimed to increase the learning efficiency of 'Handspring forward with 1½ tucked salto forward’ on vault by exploiting gymnasts’ internal factors of performance and shortening the assimilation time of technical elements using algorithmic programs. Experimental research involves the selection and adjustment of the most efficient means for specific physical and technical training requiered in learning 'Handspring forward with 1½ tucked salto forward’ on vault. This paper also brings evidence to evaluate in an objective and gradual manner the technical preparation of gymnasts through all three series of algorithmic programme and finds significant and consistent differences between gymnasts’ execution in initial testing relative to final testing. This implies that learning of any elements should be based on algorithmic program to ensure the perfect execution. The difference between the performance of the two groups of gymnasts in executing 'Handspring forward with 1½ tucked salto forward’ on vault indicates that the proposed objective has been achieved. The results obtained by the two tested groups of gymnasts have shown that algorithmic programme that I have created makes a huge difference in performance score difference which can mean an Olympic medal.
