Motor structure of gymnastic exercises on the horizontal bar

The purpose of the study is to specify the subordination between the concepts of "phases" and "stages" of motor actions, relying on a systematic-structural approach in the technical training of gymnasts on the horizontal bar, in order to enhance understanding and facilitate the learning process in artistic gymnastics. Research methods and organization. Methods of analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical observations during competitions on the horizontal bar, and video materials from competitions of various levels have been utilized. The obtained materials are applied in theoretical and practical classes with students of the Volga Region State University of Physical Culture, Sport and Tourism Research results and conclusions. The features of the concepts of "phases" and "stages" in gymnastic exercises identified during the study have clarified the structure of motor actions on the horizontal bar based on groups of elements from the Competition Rules of artistic gymnastics. The result obtained allows for the conclusion about the possible composition and number of structural elements depending on the complexity of the executed element.
