1 INTRODUCTION

In the conditions of the new Uzbekistan, a number of

activities are being carried out to raise a mature and

well-rounded generation in all respects and to attract

young people to physical education and sports. The

government of Uzbekistan has been paying great

attention to the development of physical education

and sports in the country in recent years. The

importance of physical education and sports in the

spiritual and physical development of a person is

incomparable. As our head of state emphasized, no

matter what we set our goals for ourselves, no matter

what great things we strive to do, at the basis of all

our noble actions, at the root of all our noble

intentions is to raise our children spiritually healthy,

their happiness, well-being the dream of seeing the

future, raising a generation that will be second to none

in the world is embodied.

It serves to implement the tasks set by the Decree

of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated

23.12.2022 “On measures for the further

development of gymnastics sports” No. PQ-449 [28].

 popularization of gymnastics among girls

from an early age, long-term plans are being

developed and implemented in this regard;

 Training programs for national team athletes

in gymnastics sports for the Olympic and

Asian Games, world and Asian

championships are being further improved;

 promotion of gymnastics sports as an

important component of a healthy lifestyle

in the mass media, and in this process, high-

level information and the use of multimedia

products are provided.

Supporting reforms in the field of public

education to provide video tutorials, gymnastics

carpets, equipment and other necessary items to

selected schools for the popularization of gymnastics

sports among students, together with the Ministry of

Sports Development and the Gymnastics Federation

of Uzbekistan necessary funds are allocated annually

from the funds of the fund; revising the current

curriculum of physical education for elementary

school students, enriching its main part with health-

giving elements of gymnastics.

Together with the Ministry of Preschool

Education and the Gymnastics Federation of

Uzbekistan, until July 1, 2023, the activities of clubs

to interest and engage students in regular physical

exercises based on gymnastics in state preschool

educational organizations will be systematically

launched.

In the system of the Ministry of Sports

Development, at the first stage, regional gymnastics

training centers (hereinafter referred to as

“Gymnastics Centers”) with modern material,

equipment and training base will be established in the

cities of Nukus, Samarkand and Fergana. it is planned

to be organized on the basis of sports schools

specialized in gymnastic sports in the regions.

The main content of rhythmic gymnastics is the

art of expressive movement. Without good movement

training, it is impossible to achieve expressive

movement skills and a high level of mastery. It is

advisable to introduce girls to artistic gymnastics at

the age of 5-6 years and even earlier; because the

child's organism quickly acquires the necessary

qualities of movement, namely, agility, dexterity,

endurance, coordination skills, can control and

improve its body, moves beautifully, and strengthens

the sense of self-confidence, which is very important

in today’s big sports of the world.

To date, the main focus is on special technical

training. The perspective criteria of young rhythmic

gymnasts during the period of basic training, the

content of training, as well as micro- and macrocycles

have not been sufficiently and fully researched.

Based on this, it is important to research the

specific characteristics of the management of the

training process at the initial stage of preparation,

taking into account the functional capabilities,

individual and innate abilities of young rhythmic

gymnasts. At this stage, the main attention in

preparing children should be focused on the problem

of optimizing the content and structure of educational

activities in teaching by year. It is important to

develop the skills of employees, mastering not only

the exercises of the qualification program, but also the

promising elements of successful coordination in

groups of different structures.

Rhythmic gymnastics is a complex sport. The

training process in rhythmic gymnastics is, first of all,

a process of technical improvement that starts from

the youth of the athlete and continues until the end of

the sports career. Rhythmic gymnastics is an Olympic

sport in which athletes compete for technical skill and

expressiveness in complex body movements

combined with manipulation of objects set to music.

Rhythmic gymnastics is considered one of the

most wonderful and aesthetic sports.

In this sport, Uzbekistan consistently has high

ratings, and rhythmic gymnasts from Uzbekistan are

constantly winning prizes.

It is not surprising that many parents choose

rhythmic gymnastics for their daughters and prefer

this type of sport. In our country and in almost every

district of other large cities, there are currently

rhythmic gymnastics departments.

Since the aesthetic component plays an important

role in rhythmic gymnastics, when choosing children

for the department, not only natural flexibility, but

also the appearance of girls is evaluated. A future

gymnast should be slim, handsome, handsome and

beautiful. Rhythmic gymnastics is a great sport.

Nowadays, sports have reached such a high level

that such results cannot be achieved with talent alone.

It is possible to achieve any result only through

talent, dedication, and hard work.

Decrees and decisions of the President of the

Republic of Uzbekistan, as well as research works,

textbooks and training of researchers and experts such

as V.M. Smolevsky, M.L. Juravina, V.M. Barshay,

V.N. Kurys, I.B. Pavlov, Godik M.A., Baramidze

A.M., Kiseleva T.G. manuals and methodological

guidelines form the methodological basis of the

article.

Analysis of scientific and methodical literature,

questionnaire, pedagogical testing, pedagogical

experience, mathematical and statistical methods,

Utilising Modern Technologies for Athlete Selection in Artistic Gymnastics

observational method, comparative analysis method,

interview method were used in the research.

A 5-6-year-old girl’s body is rapidly growing and

developing in all aspects. At this age, movement

functions are highly developed, and the child leads an

active life. The spine is flexible and does not stiffen

in detail.

The connecting joints are not flexible and strong.

It is more difficult to perform small and precise

movements, as the motor center and muscles are now

developing. The heart, respiratory, muscular, and

nervous systems are not fully developed. There is not

much ability to concentrate mentally. Only 15

minutes. Game and imitation reflexes are well

developed. At this age, it is important to teach the

child to keep his body upright.

Nowadays, specialists working in the field of

training theory and methodology of young rhythmic

gymnasts in New Uzbekistan have begun to pay

special attention to the cases of engaging 5-6-year-old

children to engage in gymnastics. There is a need to

attract young people to sports and to select talented

athletes from among them, to form national teams

with skilled athletes who provide high results in

sports, and to create additional conditions for trainers.

However, the structure of the training process, the

means of controlling the “internal” and “external”

aspects of the load, its effect on the body’s systems

have not been scientifically studied today. During the

analysis and summarization of literary sources, it

became known that the special movement skills and

basic physical qualities of preschool and junior

school-aged children, special movement (SMT) of

young rhythmic gymnasts at the initial stage of

training, special - the absence of a unified approach

to the development of an effective system of complex

control of physical (SPT) and technical training (TT)

indicates the relevance of the topic.

It is very important to use modern technologies in

the selection of rhythmic gymnastics athletes. It helps

athletes to see, learn and choose better. Modern

technologies include a variety of tools such as video

calendars and other multimedia tools, as well as

interactive tutorials and online guides.

To achieve the goal of the research, the following

tasks were put forward:

 To study the quantitative and qualitative

descriptions of competitive activities of

highly qualified rhythmic gymnasts.

 To study the structure of downloads of

different durations in intergame cycles.

 Development of a methodical approach to

management of training processes in inter-

game cycles on the basis of monitoring the

competition activities of highly qualified

rhythmic gymnasts and basing them in

experiments.

The following research methods were used to

solve these tasks:

 Analysis of scientific and methodological

literature;

 Pedagogical observations in research;

 Organization and conduct of research;

 Pedagogical experience;

 Mathematical statistics

In the experimental group, we conducted lessons

and trainings according to the program, while in the

control group, we conducted lessons and trainings

based on the program developed by ourselves, relying

on scientific methodical literature.

Analysis of scientific and methodical literature

During the research, more than 40 sources of

literature devoted to this topic were analyzed and

researches about selection methods and

methodologies at different stages of training of

qualified rhythmic gymnasts were summarized.

Pedagogical observations in research. The process

of training with the participants of the rhythmic

gymnastics department of the specialized sports

schools for children and adolescents of Jizzakh and

the rhythmic gymnasts of the 37th State Preschool

Education Organization was observed in March-April

2022.

The scope of training conducted with them was

studied and comparatively analyzed, and training

directions were determined for pedagogical

experience.

Organization of pedagogical research was

organized in 3 stages:

 Stage 1: in April-May, June 2022, the

relevance of the topic, the analysis of

scientific methodological literature on the

topic was conducted and the problems were

studied.

 2nd stage: current studies were organized on

the structure of training course for young

people engaged in rhythmic gymnastics and

their level of physical development and

training. The anthropometric indicators and

level of physical fitness of the participants

were determined using special tests.

 3rd stage: in September-November 2022,

the rhythmic gymnastics department of

Jizzakh city Specialized children-adolescent

sports schools was organized.

In it, before the research, the level of physical

fitness was determined, training directions were

PAMIR-2 2023 - The Second Pamir Transboundary Conference for Sustainable Societies- | PAMIR

determined, loads were distributed, and a pedagogical

experiment was conducted on this basis.

In the pedagogical experience, taking into account

the height, arm, leg length and shoulder width, chest

width, and the vital capacity of the back of the

participants of the rhythmic gymnastics department

of the Jizzakh City Specialized Children’s and

Adolescent Sports Schools we used several methods

in pedagogical experience.

We can see that some of the results of the trainees

of the experimental and control groups are close to

each other. When we compared the data obtained on

physical development after the experiment, the

following results were revealed.

During the comparison of our experience, it was

found that the results of the trainees of the control

group can be seen as the initial indicator. When we

compared the data obtained on physical development

after the experiment, the following results were

revealed. The level of heart attack and blood

oxygenation of 5-6-year-old students of preschool

education organization No. 37 was measured. 8

students from the control group were tested and the

overall result of heart attack was 100.1% on average.

The level of oxygenation of the blood was 95.3

percent. We can see that some results of the

experimental and control group students are close to

each other or slightly higher than the control or

experimental group. When we compared the obtained

data, the following results were revealed. 5-6-year-

old pupils of preschool education organization No. 37

were measured for heart attack and blood

oxygenation level pressure.

From the control group, 8 trainees were tested, the

heart rate was 100.1 percent. The level of blood

oxygen saturation and pressure was on average 95.3

percent.

The effectiveness of the study is as follows:

 Taking into account the individual abilities

of young rhythmic gymnasts, it is aimed at

their special-movement and physical

development, increasing the effectiveness of

training;

 selection of young athletes and girls for

rhythmic gymnastics through modern

technologies;

 to facilitate the selection process of young

and healthy gymnasts for trainers and

coaches;

 is to increase the healthy environment and

popularization of rhythmic gymnastics

among the population, to establish a new

system of identifying, selecting and sorting

(selection) talented athletes and training

them as professional athletes;

 It consists in creating wide opportunities for

pre-school girls to engage in rhythmic

gymnastics sports and forming basic skills in

these sports.

In the process of selecting young and healthy

athletes, the artistic gymnast will introduce them to

the training process with a completely new solution

and focus on solving them through modern

technologies.

4 CONCLUSION

Physical education and sports are developing more

and more in our country, and the work carried out in

this regard is directly supported by our country. The

achievements of Uzbekistan's athletes in international

sports arenas and the results achieved by them are

Utilising Modern Technologies for Athlete Selection in Artistic Gymnastics

based, firstly, on the created conditions, and secondly,

on the hard work of athletes and coaches.

The process of teaching gymnastic exercises is

considered a somewhat complicated process, and

modern methods of teaching are now being

introduced.

In terms of working with young people, although

it is well established in general education schools to

teach simple fitness exercises of gymnastics to

children of junior school age, it is necessary to teach

high school students the exercise performed on

equipment that educates their physical qualities.

shows its negative aspects.

Different levels of methods and tools are needed

to record high results in sports. Today, such methods

show their true results and effectiveness. There are so

many different types and varieties of them that it is a

bit difficult to decide which method to use. Currently,

large-scale research is being conducted on this issue

worldwide. Nevertheless, there are certain scientific

problems in this matter.

This experiment was focused on researching the

use of modern technologies in the selection of young

girls for rhythmic gymnastics. In the work, the work

experiences of the leading trainers of Jizzakh region

and the leading scientists working in our Republic

were summarized and their most effective methods

were reflected. Foreign literature and the information

contained in them were also included.

As described above, these recommendations were

formed as a result of personal observations and

experiences, studying the work of experts and trainers,

and analyzing foreign scientific and methodological

literature.

The opinions expressed in the article and the need

to conduct research, organize observations and

conduct experiments on this topic will increase even

more.

In this experience, it became clear that there is an

opportunity to increase the scope of research on this

topic in the future. There are aspects of the topic that

have not yet been studied and clarified. In the near

future, conducting research on the above topic and

consistently applying its results to practice will have

a positive effect on the growth of sports results.

I also inform you that I intend to conduct targeted

research on this topic in the future and offer scientific

cooperation.
