the effect of sports performance exercises on developing the sensory-motor abilities and kinetic beauty of female students in rhythmic gymnastics.

Abstract

                                   This study aimed to evaluate the effect of performance exercises on the development of sensory-motor abilities and the evaluation of the beauty of movement for some skills in rhythmic gymnastics among female students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences in Maysan. A training program was applied to a sample of 20 female students out of 40, divided into an experimental and a control group. The training program included exercises aimed at improving jumping and vaulting skills, in addition to developing the sense of estimating time and horizontal and vertical distance. The results showed that the experimental group outperformed the control group in all tests of motor and cognitive skills. This superiority can be attributed to the focused activities that included the use of sports tools and techniques for integrating harmonious movements, which helped improve motor accuracy and timing. These exercises also contributed to the gradual development of sensory-motor perception, starting from the sense of balance and ending with improving the precise performance of motor skills. The study recommends enhancing the use of performance exercises within training programs to develop motor skills, with the necessity of integrating sports tools and improving training curricula to ensure better results in the long term
