Introduction. Rhythmic gymnastics is one of the most popular sports in our country. Modern rhythmic gymnastics places high demands on the physical and technical training of athletes. To master the whole arsenal of means characteristic of modern rhythmic gymnastics, it is necessary to have a sufficiently high level of flexibility development, and especially active flexibility as one of its types. The performance of various balances, jumps and other exercises in rhythmic gymnastics by its biomechanical nature requires good joint mobility, and some exercises in general completely depend on the level of development of this quality. With a high level of mobility in the joints, there are prerequisites for economical movements, because the initial length of the muscles is greater, this allows for greater strength, the joints become more mobile and the amplitude of movements and static positions increases.
An analysis of current trends in rhythmic gymnastics shows that the requirements for athletes’ flexibility are becoming increasingly high. Numerous researches that have been conducted in the direction of studying this problem have concluded that it is necessary to develop active flexibility in girls engaged in rhythmic gymnastics.
The purpose of the study is to experimentally substantiate the use of aids for the development of active flexibility of girls aged 8-9 years in rhythmic gymnastics classes.
The study involved a group of 12 girls aged 8-9 who were engaged in rhythmic gymnastics. The following research methods were used in the experiment: analysis of scientific and methodological literature; pedagogical observation; pedagogical testing; pedagogical experiment; methods of mathematical statistics.
Results of the study. The experimental programme of active flexibility development included exercises using the following devices: a rubber band, a gymnastic block, weights for arms and legs. The comparative analysis of the results of pedagogical testing after the pedagogical experiment showed that in the group of girls who were engaged in rhythmic gymnastics there was a significant increase in indicators of active flexibility. Indicators of the level of active flexibility development in the group increased from the average to the above average level.
Conclusions. The study proved that performing exercises with auxiliary devices had a positive effect on the development of active flexibility in girls aged 8-9.
