| Summary: | The aim of the study was to give more informations about jumping abilities of youngfemale gymnasts. We examine age-related differences in some variables of counter-movementjump (CMJ) and counter-movement jump with arm swing (CMJA), between two age categoriesof young female gymnasts (n=47) and also reliability of testing vertical jump in gymnasts. Thestudy was conducted on an international competition. Our research has shown that age-relateddifferences were observed only in height of the jumps, but not in power output of both jumps anddisplacement of depth of body’s center of gravity. Jumping capabilities are crucial in gymnasticsin all levels of competitions and in all categories of gymnasts. Testing and periodical monitoringof young athletes’ abilities are important for defining the training programmes adapted to theneeds of gymnastics and the age of the gymnasts. |
