Le résumé fourni par la source

Performance in artistic gymnastics depends on the optimal balance between the level of physical fitness and the complex technical skills required for each apparatus. Therefore, a high level of strength, flexibility, and muscular endurance, combined with speed and coordination, is essential in artistic gymnastics in order to successfully perform the large volume of complex exercises. The aim of the study is to determine the level of development of the motor qualities, strength, and endurance in 9-10-year-old female artistic gymnasts, according to the normative evaluation system in the Republic of Bulgaria. The research was carried out with 14 girls from a sports club in the town of Sofia. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 14 girls from a sports club in Sofia, who were examined on five indicators that provided information on different manifestations of strength and endurance: standing long jump, hanging pull-ups, hanging leg lifts, straddle L-sit to press handstand on floor exercise, and 15 jumps from the occipital position. A statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 25 through variation analysis. In addition, the sigma method for evaluation was applied. The conducted study demonstrated that the gymnasts achieved an average level of performance in the tests assessing upper limb strength, abdominal muscle strength, and muscular endurance. Better results were observed in the indicators of explosive lower limb strength and speed-strength endurance. These findings are of particular importance given the demands associated with the increasing difficulty of high-level gymnastics practice.
