- Abstract
The aim of the present study was to establish the probable influence of characteristic motor abilities and morphological characteristics on the arabesque and passé pivots performance in a sample of 53 girls (mean age 7.1 ± 0.3 years), who had three months of training experience. The sample of variables consisted of 10 tests of basic motor abilities, eight standard tests for assessing morphological characteristics and two specific-pivot performance tests, in which five judges evaluated performance. The regression analysis was utilized to establish relations between the scores of motor and morphological tests and the pivots performance marks. The results obtained showed statistically significant multiple correlations between motor-morphological variables and both tests applied for assessing pivot performance. The test for assessing agility (side steps), flexibility (shoulder flex) and adipose tissue (calf skinfold) have a significant predictive value (Beta coefficient) for the performance of the arabesque pivot. According to the study results, a training process with the special goal of learning pivots intended for different aesthetic sport novices should be programmed to include the preset objectives for the development of agility, flexibility and adipose tissue reduction.
