Prospects Of The Development Trend Of Competitive Aerobics Seen From Changes Of Rules

Rules of competitive aerobics are not only the basis that the referees score on, but theguide of the development of competitive aerobics. Research on the development and changesin the rules of competitive aerobics can deepen the understanding of the rules and analyze thedevelopment trend of competitive aerobics.By referring to literature, interviewing experts and by means of comparative analysis,this thesis compares and analyzes three editions of international aerobics rules, i.e.2005-2008,2009-2012, and2013-2016, to explore the development trend of international competitiveaerobics, hoping to provide guidance for the competitive aerobics development of our nation.Detailed rules in art are being integrated and more detailed. The edition of2013-2016makes requirements on the art of set actions from five angles and in fifteen points. Thecompletion part has further completed the duties of the completion referee so the marks canbe deducted at discretion for incorrect actions in respect of difficulty of actions, actionchoreography and consistency. Score deduction for mistakes in consistency can be up to2.0points. The number of difficulty actions in a set actions is reduced to10from12. The numberof low-score difficulty actions is reduced and that of high-score difficulty actions is increased.The scores of some actions are lowered. All the difficulty actions are re-classified morecorrectly. The difficulty coefficients of women groups and mix groups in three-member andgroup events are further lowered.In other respects, six-member events are changed into five-member events, and aerobicdance and step aerobics are added; the same ranking is allowed; all fields of competition arechanged into10×10m2; the actions should be finished in one minute and thirty seconds with5seconds of tolerance; in the edition of2013-2016, ten-minute rule is added; action set caninclude technical actions and score deduction standard regarding to violation and timerequirements have changed greatly.It can be concluded that competitive aerobics is developing in the direction of highartistic quality, high completion requirements, high difficulty requirements and highornamental. It is proposed that the understanding of rules should be deepened and thecomposition of action set should be more artistic and innovative. The athletes’ physical qualityshould be improved by means of scientific and systematic training to enhance their technical skills and the ability to finish difficult actions so as to improve the final results. Womenathletes should take a reasonable part, especially in three-member and group events.
