Abstract:

Chir sport, as a young sports discipline of gymnastic orientation, is undergoing the stages of formation. Today, the issue of judging high-level competitions is acute. Among practicing specialists, there is an opinion that each expert evaluates the number in his own way, depending on work experience and knowledge in this field. However, it is still necessary to evaluate the performances of athletes according to certain and precise criteria. Accordingly, it is necessary to refine, clarify the concepts and categories that are used in the competition rules, and raise the level of experts. The purpose of the study is to clarify and specify the system of evaluating performance skills in cheer sports (on the example of artistic disciplines). Materials and methods. Analysis of scientific and methodological literature and competition protocols; pedagogical observations based on video materials of the championship and the championship of Russia (2020); questionnaires, mathematical methods. The results of the study. The aesthetic and technical indicators of the cheerleaders ' performing skills are determined. The criteria of judging in this gymnastic sport are analyzed in detail and clarified (on the example of group exercises). A model for evaluating the performance skills of cheerleaders is developed. It can be used in competitive and training activities. Conclusion. We propose the following additions: to create equal shares in the evaluation of the group exercises performance in artistic disciplines.
