Informative indicators ofprospects in the preliminary selection of girls aged 5-7 years for gymnastics
The article deals with the selection of preschool children for gymnastics. For enrollment in elementary training groups, sports schools use the tests presented in the Federal Standard for Sports Training in Artistic Gymnastics, which allows selection only in elementary training groups. Therefore, there is a need to timely identify the suitability of children for gymnastics and enroll them in sports and recreation groups and in primary training groups, which is determined by the discrepancy between the traditionally used methodology for selecting children and the current stage of sports development.
