Abstract

The research studied the influence of experimental proprioceptive training on the speed of acquisition of selected gymnastic elements on beam in elementary school students. The results showed that the experimental treatment had a positive effect on the faster mastering of the technical elements of the gymnastic all-around on the beam. The t-test and Wilcoxon test confirmed a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups at a significance level of 0.01. The experimental treatment had a statistically significant effect on the speed of acquisition of gymnastic elements performed in dynamic balance, such as different types of turns. On the other hand, it did not have a statistically significant effect on the speed of adoption of static elements such as front balance and high forefoot, which proved to be easier to master. The research concludes that the experimental proprioceptive training constructed in this way can be offered as an effective training tool in working with children of elementary school age, and that it will have positive effects on the speed of acquisition of gymnastic elements and the motor ability of balance. A longer period of application of the treatment is recommended to achieve an even stronger effect.
