Design tests to measure equilibrium according to the requirements of Motor performance on the balance beam in artistic gymnastics
Main Article Content
Abstract
The research aims to design tests to measure the ability to balance according to the requirements of kinetic performance on the balance beam. The descriptive approach was used using the survey method and correlational relationships because it is more appropriate to the nature of the research problem. The research community was determined using the comprehensive inventory method of third-year female students in the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at the University of Diyala, numbering (52) students, who represent the research community for the academic year (2023-2024). The study concluded that the balance ability tests for artistic gymnastics for female students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences are distinguished by their ease of application and material cost, and do not require many devices or tools. They measure the purposes for which they were designed and enable those in charge of teaching the gymnastics subject to evaluate female students. The study recommended that it is necessary to rely on the balance ability tests for artistic gymnastics for female students of the Colleges of Physical Education and Sports Sciences when evaluating female students, and to conduct similar studies on larger samples or in gymnastics devices.
