The methodology of teaching complex trampoline jumps with an emphasis on the main reference points

Abstract

The article considers one of the approaches in the methodology of teaching gymnasts aged 13-14 to the double twist element bent with a 180° rotation by means of the main reference points. The study of the effectiveness of various methods of teaching a complex element of trampoline gymnastics was conducted on two groups of young athletes (13-14 years old) with proven experience in trampoline gymnastics from 5 to 7 years and sports categories not lower than the candidate for master of sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The study involved 13 gymnasts: the experimental group consisted of 6 people, the control group consisted of 7. Both groups trained with the same intensity – 6 times a week for 2.5 hours, which provided comparable physical activity and a level of preparation for mastering a complex element. The control group was trained using the traditional method, which involves a gradual complication of the technique of performing the element, with an emphasis on repetition and correction of mistakes by the coach. The experimental group, on the contrary, was trained using a methodology based on the formation of an indicative basis of action (OOD) through a detailed study of each main reference point (OOT) performed by a double twist.  As a result of the study, the effectiveness of using in the training process an experimental technique for teaching gymnasts double twist bending with a 180° turn by forming OOT using 3D Trampoline and On Form programs, which was expressed in reducing the time of mastering this element and including it in their competitive exercises.
