SPECIFICITY AND DIVERSITY OF ATHLETIC ABILITY NEEDS AMONG PROFESSIONAL GYMNASTS

ABSTRACT Introduction Gymnastics sports require athletes to have exceptional physical fitness. Distinct specific training methods, when mastered, can elevate the functional capacity and athletic abilities of professionals. In this way, athletes can better perform their abilities in competition. Objective Analyze the physical training methods of gymnasts. In parallel, this paper analyzes the impact of functional training methods on gymnasts’ physical fitness and competition performance. Methods This paper selects several gymnasts as research objects. The gymnasts were randomly divided into two groups (experimental and control groups). The experimental group used functional training. The control group used traditional training methods. This paper tests and records the athletes’ fitness before and after training. The mathematical statistics method allows the collected data to be analyzed and discussed. Results There was a big difference in the fitness index between the experimental and control groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Functional training helps to improve the physical performance of gymnasts. Functional training programs can effectively enhance the response of the phasic muscles, positively influencing motor agility.
