- Abstract
Trends and developments in rhythmic gymnastics concern all the fundamental and detailed aspects that strategically participate in shaping a new dimension of this sport for the next Olympic cycle. The FIG Code of Points, a document that directs the activity in rhythmic gymnastics at world level, has undergone significant changes from one Olympic cycle to another. A constant priority of the specialised international body is to establish a unitary and objective line in the training of gymnasts. The changes of content in the Code of Points, in terms of specific requirements, reflect the progress made regarding the technical, artistic and executionrelated aspects. Therefore, a critical analysis is regularly needed to see the impact of regulations on the competitive performance at the end of each Olympic cycle. Competition analysis provides highly valuable data on qualitative and quantitative gains, value distribution, social impact and the higher level reached at a given time in relation to the ideal model established by the FIG Code of Points. This study aims to identify whether the regulations provided by the FIG Code of Points for the last 6 Olympic cycles have produced changes in addressing group compositions under the artistic aspect. The research was conducted on the first 8 teams in the rankings of the World Championships for the group event during the last 6 Olympic cycles. Through documentation and video recordings, we have identified the vectors that can influence the mechanisms involved in creating group compositions.
