Assessment of the relationship between psychophysiological compatibility and sports qualifications in rhythmic gymnastics

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of psychophysiological compatibility (PPC) and sports qualifications in group rhythmic gymnastics. 20 girls from 4 rhythmic gymnastics sports teams of various sports qualifications participated in this study: one team consisted of athletes of the first adult sports category, two teams – of candidates for master of sports, one – of masters of sports. The level of PPC in the teams was assessed using the hardware and software complex SIGVET-TEAM and the Pearson correlation coefficient (r). The positive relationship between the growth of PPC and sports qualifications was revealed as a result of the study. At the same time, the analysis of the individual result of athletes demonstrates a great variability in the specific contribution within the groups. This fact raises new questions about the importance of PPC at various stages of athletic training in group rhythmic gymnastics.
