The predictive value of static and dynamic balance in the performance level of some floor skills in artistic gymnastics

Abstract

Research summary

The researcher used a descriptive approach with a correlational survey method to achieve the research objectives. The research population was defined as (19) female students from the College of Physical Education at Kalar University for the academic year 2025-2026. (17) students were selected as the main research sample using purposive sampling, and (2) students were randomly selected as a pilot sample using a lottery method from the research population. The researcher relied on the test of standing on the balls of the feet for static balance and the test of moving over marks for dynamic balance. The ground skills agreed upon by experts and specialists were the following: (front balance, lateral balance, forward roll with slack, and forward roll with open). The pilot experiment was conducted on (November 19, 2025). After addressing any shortcomings and confirming the readiness of the sample, the main experiment was conducted on (December 3, 2025). The researcher used the SPSS statistical package to arrive at the research results, the most important of which was: there are significant positive correlations between static balance, dynamic balance, and performance The skill of floor skills is under investigation among gymnasts. Static balance contributes significantly to improving the skill performance level of floor skills, while dynamic balance contributes effectively to developing the skill performance of floor skills, and the percentage was.
