Sažetak
The aim of this study was to establish the probable influence of the characteristic motor ability and skill factors on the jumping/leaping performance in a sample of 55 novice female gymnasts (mean age 7.1 ± 0.3 years), who had participated in a year of training. The sample of variables consisted of 12 tests of the basic motor abilities and 9 RG (rhythmic gymnastics) specific leaping performance tests, in which 5 experienced RG-judges evaluated their performance. Canonical correlation analysis was utilized to establish the relations between the scores of the motor tests and the leaping/jumping performance marks. According to the linear correlation and canonical correlation results, coordination (coordination in rhythm, primarily) and strength (leg power, in the first place), contributed mostly to the performance evaluation marks assigned for the RG leaping elements (65% variance explained). Although being expected, the influence of flexibility on the leaping performance of novices in RG was not evident.
