THE WAYS FOR IMPROVING THE USE OF VISUAL FEEDBACK BY EPROGRAMMES IN MEN’S ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS
An important element for improving technical performances in sport is the access of coaches and athletes to objective information regarding the form and content of specific movements. In artistic gymnastics, the organisation and regulation of motor behaviour, necessary to improve the perceptual motor skills, are based mainly on proprioceptive information. Hypothesis: We want to highlight through this research the fact that by using visual feedback we can shorten or improve time for learning elements, combinations of elements, but also create attractive exercises in high performance training. However, an important role is played by visual information in the awareness of spatial characteristics of movements and bodily sensations correctly associated with the phases that compose the technical structures. In this paper we intend to introduce a training method, successfully applied on learning, correcting and perfecting the art of men’s artistic gymnastics, based on visual feedback. For this method we used a modern technical system that enables the recording, storage and playback of actions executed by athletes as a video image. Visual information was provided to athletes and coaches in different ways. Thus, they tracked and analysed both their own technical execution of the structures made in the same exercise as well as different training and execution models made by elite gymnasts compared to their own executions. Improving the attractiveness of work on training apparatus in conjunction with desire for selfimprovement and reporting their evolutions to the top values of the world order represent the aim of this research. The results found a shorter learning time or correcting technical elements with greater stability executions correct them after the consolidation phase.
