Current state of and measures for the development of horse-vaulting techniques of female athletes in China
The author studied the relations between the score and the type,difficulty and completion quality of the horse-vaulting moves of female athletes participating in the 39th and 40th World Gymnastic Championships as well as in Athens and Beijing Olympic Games,carried out a comparative analysis on related statistics of horse-vaulting of female athletes of China and the United States in Beijing Olympic Games,and concluded that moves used by Chinese athletes are undiversified,and that the Chinese team is short of the US team in terms of overall difficulty and completion quality.The author put forward measures for changing training ideology,strengthening basic physi-cal stamina training and seeking for innovation,such as changing "higher performance athletes lead lower perform-ance athletes" into "lower performance athletes boost higher performance athletes",accurately finding the ways for technical breakthroughs by fully utilizing the characteristics of rules and instruments,strengthening speed and power capacity training,developing moves that fit physical characteristics of Chinese athletes,and increasing evaluation starting scores for moves,etc.
