Abstract

Artistic gymnastics is generally determined by the rules of the gymnastics Code of Points and long-term processes of learning gymnastics skills. Though intensive, the career of women gymnasts is relatively short, so with the goal of prolonging it the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG-a) prescribes junior women gymnasts should apply easier dismounts than senior gymnasts. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of junior routines (N=88) and their differences in relation to senior routines (N=85) by
analysing the variables: difficulty score (DS), execution score (ES), total score of each apparatus (TOTAL) and all-around final score (EPTOTAL), achieved at the 2012 European Championship (Brussels). The study established significant differences between the samples in almost all the analysed scores.
