Abstract

Aim. This study investigated discipline-specific (artistic gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, and acrobatic rock'n'roll) differences in coordination and short-term motor memory among gymnasts. Materials and methods. Fifty-two professional gymnasts were stratified into three discipline-specific groups. Participants completed the Triangle test on a Stabilan-01-2 force platform under two conditions: soft and hard surfaces. Results. Artistic gymnasts demonstrated greater trajectory accuracy on hard surfaces versus soft; acrobatic rock’n’roll athletes showed reduced trajectory accuracy; rhythmic gymnasts demonstrated larger sway areas, indicating better muscle coordination. Conclusion. These findings support customized training regimens and athletic performance enhancement.
