Abstract

Study purpose. Artistic gymnastics requires a high level of motor skills and sustained motivation, particularly among junior male athletes. The development of motor skills is closely linked to athletic performance, whilst motivation determines consistency in training and engagement in competition. This study investigated how an eight-session training programme using specialised artistic gymnastics apparatus (pommel horse, parallel bars, floor exercise, and horizontal bar) influenced the psychomotor development, motor skills, and motivation of junior male gymnasts. Materials and methods. A single-group pretest-posttest experimental design was used with 12 junior male gymnasts aged 15–16 years from Semarang, Central Java. Data were collected via validated motor skills assessments, a motivation questionnaire, and a psychomotor evaluation form. Data were analysed using a paired t-test with SPSS 23 to determine significant changes from the pre-test to the post-test. Results. The results of the study showed a significant increase in motivation scores, rising from a pre-test mean of 35.17 (SD = 5.01) to a post-test mean of 39.92 (SD = 4.94), t(11) = 4.23, p = 0.003. Artistic gymnastics performance improved from a pre-test mean of 36.08 (SD = 4.12) to a post-test mean of 40.67 (SD = 4.05), t(11) = 3.87, p = 0.011. Psychomotor skills also improved from a pre-test mean of 37.25 (SD = 2.70) to a post-test mean of 40.75 (SD = 2.68), t(11) = 4.11, p = 0.007. Conclusions. These findings confirm that structured training using specialised artistic gymnastics equipment effectively improves psychomotor performance and intrinsic motivation in junior male gymnasts. Further studies are recommended to use larger and more diverse samples to strengthen the generalisability of the findings.

Abstract

Background: The decline in student participation in aerobic gymnastics at the Pekan Olahraga Pelajar Daerah (POPDA) or Regional Student Sports Week in Central Java highlights the need for more flexible and effective training methods. While video-based coaching offers promising flexibility, limited research has examined its impact on the performance of student athletes, particularly in choreographed aerobic routines. This study addresses that gap by testing a video-based choreography model tailored for young athletes. Research Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a student-focused aerobic gymnastics choreography model in enhancing performance, particularly in artistic and creative aspects. Methods: This quantitative experimental study involved 13 student athletes (elementary to high school level) who were selected from the POPDA Central Java event. A total sampling technique was applied. The athletes followed the choreographic model intervention, and performance scores—assessed by judges—were compared before and after the intervention using paired sample t-tests analyzed in SPSS 2022. Finding/Results: The results showed a statistically significant improvement in athlete performance following the application of the choreography model (p < 0.05). Improvements were most notable in artistic expression and movement creativity, highlighting the model's efficacy in developing aesthetic and technical skills. Conclusion: The specially designed aerobic gymnastics choreography model significantly enhances the performance of student athletes. The findings support the integration of video-based coaching as a complementary tool to traditional methods, offering flexibility in training and supporting long-term athlete development. This approach may be adopted by coaches and competition organizers to foster a more sustainable and competitive environment for aerobic gymnastics at both regional and national levels.
