Study On The Scientific Talent Identification And The Application System Of Chinese Elite Athletes In Rhythmic Gymnastics

The theory and practice on scientific talent identification of Chinese elite athletes in rhythmic gymnastics have been studied in this dissertation and many research methods like literature, investigation, experiment and statistics were used. 64 elite athletes were enlisted in this research and the main conclusions were as follows:1. By analysis of international code of points from 1985 edition to 2005 edition, it was found that beauty,difficulty and creation are the future trends of Rhythmic Gymnastics. Rhythmic Gymnastics has two main characteristics. The first characteristic is that the athletes must hold Apparatus while making movements. Another characteristic is beauty.2. Athletes at home and abroad of this event have the similar grown-up period. Athletes began to be trained at the age of 6 to 8 and most athletes started their first training at 7 years old. After 8 to 12 years'systematic training, they had the ability of taking part in international competitions. Grown-up period at abroad was 1～2 years earlier than that of our country.3. The law of growth and development of athletes of Rhythmic Gymnastics were the basic theory on training and scientific identification. The research showed that chronically systematic professional training had an effect on the growth and development of the athletes of Rhythmic Gymnastics. The peak height velocity appeared when they were 13 years old. It showed 2 years later than ordinary girls. The menarche of a girl is used as an index on judging the level of a female's sexuality. With the development of economy and the improvement of living standard and quality, the age of menarche of ordinary girls has the trend of appearing earlier than before but the athletes of Rhythmic Gymnastics were not. It has something to do with chronically intensity physical training and insufficient nutritional intake. This study also found the laws of the changes of the length index, width index and circle index.4. Establishing the index system was the key problem in scientific talent identification. Factor analysis was used to select original indexes. On the basis of selecting indexes, the structure model of competition ability was established.5. Using the principle of measurement and evaluation of sport, the integrated evaluating standard of competition ability about Chinese elite athletes was established.6. By using the Visual FoxPro 6.0, a set of evaluating system of competition ability about Chinese elite athletes was designed, which was easy to operate for the scientific talent identification of the elite athletes in rhythmic gymnastics.
