IMPACT OF PREPARATORY PERIOD ARTISTIC GYMNASTICS TRAINING ON AEROBIC PERFORMANCE IN FEMALE GYMNASTS
elite artistic gymnasts. Eight female gymnasts (16.0 ± 2.7 years) were compared to a control group of eight untrained peers (15.9 ± .4 years). Over a 4-month preparatory period, the gymnasts underwent training focused on strength, speed, and endurance development. Anaerobic performance was assessed before and after the intervention using the Wingate test, countermovement jumps (with and without arm swing), repeated vertical jumps (10- and 60-second series), and handstand jumps on a contact mat-based ergometer. Key performance indicators included peak and mean power output, fatigue index, jump height, and blood lactate concentration. Statistical analysis was conducted using Wilcoxon T-tests for within-group and Mann-Whitney U-tests for between-group comparisons. Post-training, the gymnasts demonstrated significant improvements (p ≤ .05) in jump height, power output, and fatigue resistance across multiple tests. The control group showed no significant changes, except for a minor increase in mean power output in the 60-second jump test. These findings suggest that targeted gymnastic training during the preparatory phase effectively enhances anaerobic capacity, potentially enabling gymnasts to perform more complex elements and improve overall competitive performance. V raziskavi smo preučevali, kako posebna priprava vpliva na anaerobne sposobnosti vrhunskih telovadk v orodni telovadbi. Osem telovadk (16,0 ± 2,7 leta) smo primerjali s skupino osmih običajnih vrstnic (15,9 ± 0,4 leta). V štirimesečnem pripravljalnem obdobju so telovadke vadile z osredotočenostjo na moč, hitrost in vzdržljivost. Anaerobno zmogljivost smo pred in po vadbenem posegu ocenili z Wingateovim preizkusom, s skokom z nasprotnim gibanjem (z in brez zamaha rok), s ponavljajočimi se navpičnimi skoki (nizi po 10 in 60 sekund) ter z odrivi iz stoje na rokah na merilnem sistemu s kontaktno blazino. Glavni kazalniki so bili največja in povprečna moč, kazalnik utrujenosti, višina skoka ter delež mlečne kisline v krvi. Za primerjave znotraj skupin smo uporabili Wilcoxonov T-preizkus, za medskupinske pa Mann-Whitneyjev U-preizkus. Po vadbi so telovadke dosegle pomembna izboljšanja (p ≤ 0,05) pri višini skoka, izhodni moči in odporu proti utrujanju v več preizkusih. V primerjalni skupini ni bilo pomembnih sprememb, razen manjšega porasta povprečne moči v 60-sekundnem nizu skokov. Ugotovitve kažejo, da ciljno usmerjena telovadba v pripravljalnem obdobju učinkovito poveča anaerobno zmogljivost, kar lahko telovadkam omogoči izvedbo zahtevnejših prvin in boljši tekmovalni dosežek.

THE EFFECTS OF 12 WEEKS BASIC GYMNASTICS EXERCISES ON BODY COMPOSITION AND LIPID PROFILES IN OBESE CHILDREN
Obesity is a major health concern in the world because it is associated with many diseases. It has been shown that basic gymnastics exercises effectively prevent and treat this problem. Therefore, the present study investigated the effect of 12 weeks of basic gymnastics exercises on body composition and lipid profile in obese girls. In this quasi-experimental study, with a design pre-test-post-test and a control group, 30 obese girls with Body Mass Index (BMI) at or above the 95th percentile and the average age of 9.4 years, were selected purposefully and were divided into 2 groups (Basic gymnastics training, and control) randomly. The training protocol was implemented for 12 weeks, three times a week, and 45 minutes for each session incrementally. Body composition and lipid profile indices were measured in two stages: pre-test and post-test. In order to analyze the data, multivariate covariance tests were used. The results of the study showed that the exercise intervention significantly reduced the fat percentage and BMI index in obese children (p≤0.001). In addition, a significant decrease in total cholesterol, triglyceride, and Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) and a significant increase in High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) were observed (p≤0.002). These findings indicate the beneficial effects of basic gymnastics training on body composition and lipid profile in obese children. Therefore, the use of basic gymnastics training is recommended to improve these factors. Debelost je velik zdravstveni problem v svetu, saj je povezana s številnimi boleznimi. Dokazano je, da osnovne telovadne vaje učinkovito preprečujejo in zdravijo to težavo. S to raziskavo smo preučili učinek 12 tednov osnovnih telovadnih vaj na telesno sestavo in lipidni presek pri debelih dekletih. V tej preizkusni študiji z načrtom meritev pred- in po-vadbi in nadzorno skupino je bilo namenoma izbranih 30 debelih deklet z indeksom telesne mase (ITM) na ali nad 95. percentilom in povprečno starostjo 9,4 leta, ki so bile naključno razdeljene v 2 skupini (skupina pri telovadbi in nadzorna skupina). Postopek vadbe je bil izveden 12 tednov, trikrat na teden in s časom trajanja po 45 minut. Telesno sestavo in indekse lipidnega preseka smo merili dvakrat: pred začetkom vadbe in po zaključku vadbe. Za razčlenitev podatkov so bili uporabljeni multivariatni kovariančni testi. Rezultati raziskave so pokazali, da je vadba pomembno zmanjšala odstotek maščobe in ITM pri debelih otrocih (p≤0,001). Poleg tega so opazili pomembno znižanje skupnega holesterola, trigliceridov in lipoproteinov nizke gostote, holesterola (LDL-C) ter znatno povečanje lipoproteinov visoke gostote, holesterola (HDL-C) (p≤0,002). Te ugotovitve kažejo na ugodne učinke telovadbe na telesno sestavo in lipidni presek pri debelih otrocih. Zato je za izboljšanje teh dejavnikov priporočljiva telovadba.

Circulating growth hormone, cortisol and testosterone in relation to vitamin D status: influence of lower and upper body wingate anaerobic test in elite artistic gymnasts
Background and study aim
It is well known that professional physical training may be one of the factors modifying s circulating serum level of growth hormone, testosterone and cortisol. However, the effect of high-intensity upper and lower body Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT) on the serum hormone levels in association to vitamin D status still remains unspecified. The aim of the current study was to verify hypotheses that a longstanding background in elite gymnastics training induces adaptive changes in hormonal homeostasis during upper- and lower-body WAnT, and that these changes are modulated by muscle group engagement and vitamin D status.
Materials and methods
Fifteen elite male artistic gymnasts (21.3 ± 3.4 years-old) and 14 physically active men (the control group, 20.2 ± 1.1) voluntarily participated in this study. Blood was collected using venipuncture procedures (antecubital vein) in tree timepoints: before, immediately and 60 min after WAnT. Hormone measurements consisted of levels of free human growth hormone (hGH), testosterone and cortisol in blood serum. Measurement was made using chemiluminescence method.

Results
Significantly higher performance during upper-body WAnT were observed in professional gymnasts’ groups, for mean power normalized to body mass. Furthermore, gymnasts showed higher serum concentration for hGH, and testosterone immediately after upper-body WAnT. An inverse relationship was observed in cortisol, whose concentration changes were greater in the control group. Additionally, in control group, baseline vitamin D positively correlated with cortisol changes post lower-body WAnT but negatively with testosterone changes immediately after lower-body WAnT.
Conclusions
Gymnastic training affects anaerobic performance and hormonal status by altering the serum concentrations of hGH, cortisol, and testosterone in response to anaerobic exercise. Moreover, hormonal status is associated with vitamin D concentration, and shows its significant regulating properties in post exercises response.

An Innovative Study of Interactive Performance Combining the Art of Drill and Dance with Deep Learning
This paper starts with the performance of audiovisual, using computer technology animation simulation gymnastics dance team formation, providing a way of arranging choreography. According to the basic elements of the ray tracing algorithm, set up the lighting model to improve the realism of stage rendering. Collect survey data to identify the challenges in creating gymnastics dance, and analyze the advantages of computer technology in the application of gymnastics dance team performance creation and training. Obtain the audience’s overall perception of the interactive performance of gymnastics and dance art, and analyze their satisfaction with all aspects of the choreographic design using holographic technology for gymnastics and dance art. The survey on the satisfaction of the elements of holographic choreography design for the performance of dance manipulation is mainly divided into three aspects, including the real choreography effect, virtual choreography effect and performance music effect, in which the gymnastics dancer’s expressiveness (65.99%), holographic projection screen effect (72.56%), the cooperation between the music and the holographic projection screen (63.77%) are all recognized by the audience, so the use of holographic projection technology in the performance of gymnastics dance manipulation is a good opportunity to get the audience’s satisfaction. The purpose of gymnastics dance teaching in sports education is to develop students’ physical coordination, rhythm, and aesthetic abilities. The introduction of deep learning techniques to gymnastics teaching and performance can not only provide a more vivid and realistic learning environment but also improve students’ interest and performance. To improve the effective strategy of gymnastics dancing performance, it can be achieved through the students’ rich practice activities, strengthening of technical methods, and the form of diversified performance.
