A Comparative Study On Difficulty Selection And Arrangement Characteristics Of Chinese And Foreign Excellent Horizontal Bars

By using the methods of documentary data,video observation,mathematical statistics,and comparative analysis,this paper takes the complete sets of movements of the top 8 athletes in the men’s horizontal bar final of the 2022 National Gymnastics Championships and the 51 st World Gymnastics Championships as the object of observation,and the comparison of the difficulty selection and arrangement characteristics of horizontal bar among Chinese and foreign elite athletes as the object of study.A comparative study was made on the top 10 difficult movements,difficulty types,connecting movements and arrangement characteristics of the horizontal bar sets of Chinese and foreign elite athletes.The research conclusions are as follows:There is a big difference between the top 10 difficulty levels of Chinese and foreign athletes,which is mainly reflected in flight movements.The difficulty level of single flight movements of foreign athletes is high.There are different subjects in the difficulty types of Chinese and foreign athletes.The complete set of movements of Chinese athletes mainly includes the near bars and adel class,while the foreign athletes mainly include the flight class.There is a large gap in the level of difficulty of direct connection between Chinese and foreign athletes,which is mainly reflected in the number and value of connection.The level of direct connection between foreign athletes is higher.The choreography of Chinese and foreign athletes is mainly reflected in the beginning part.At the beginning,Chinese and foreign athletes mainly take group II and Group III difficulty movements.All actions are group G,with a large gap in the level of direct connection The highest level of difficulty movements of foreign athletes is higher than that of Chinese athletes,and they are all group G movements.There is no significant difference in the selection of difficulty types in the middle part,mainly group I,II and III.There is no significant difference in the highest difficulty level of Chinese and foreign athletes,and the direct connection level of foreign athlet es is higher.There was no significant difference in the difficulty level of the end parts,which were mainly straight back somersault and twisting.The similarities between Chinese and foreign elite athletes in the choreographing features of the horizontal bar final sets of movements are shown in that the mid-pass and twist movements have become mandatory movements,the types of direct connection movements have increased,and the difficulty types of flight movements have the same emphasis.The differences are manifested in the different emphasis of dangling swing and turning,the different emphasis of the main action type,and the large gap in the difficulty level of direct connection.Based on the analysis of the difficulty selection and choreography of Chinese and foreign excellent athletes,and combined with the actual situation of Chinese horizontal bar athletes,the following suggestions are put forward:(1)Always grasp the understanding and knowledge of the rules,develop the strengths and avoid the weaknesses,strengthen training and continuous innovation in the training process according to the athletes’ special expertise to improve the continuity of difficult movements,and lay the foundation for the development of difficult movements and connecting movements.(2)Focus on the development of flight movements,the development of difficult movements should also pay attention to high quality development,E score is also the key to win gold.(3)To develop individual flight movements and direct connection movements of higher difficulty,and to innovate the connection types and enhance the connection value of Adel(middle pass front up)flight movements.
