Identification of the level of asymmetry among juniors in rhythmic gymnastics

the article reflects the results of identifying the level of asymmetry among juniors engaged in rhythmic gymnastics at the Olympic Training Center in Omsk. The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that functional asymmetry is manifested in various body systems. The individual profile of asymmetry is inherent in each person and is a combination of motor and sensory features reflecting involvement in the activity of one side or another of the body. Functional asymmetry-symmetry is also manifested in sports activities, since innate morphofunctional asymmetries determine the preference of the right or left limb when performing various motor actions. The main objectives of the study include the identification of functional body asymmetry in young athletes through the selection of special tests. The study of this information is based on the analysis of the conducted tests. Functional asymmetry significantly affects the result of performing technical actions in training and competitive activities, as it is necessary for high-quality execution of elements in asymmetric movements. Also, the high asymmetry index of gymnasts does not allow them to perform high-amplitude elements at the proper level. In conclusion, the need for further research is emphasized to develop a technique for correcting functional asymmetry to improve interhemispheric interaction in gymnasts.
