Abstract:

Sports ballroom dancing is a duet kind of sport. It demands not only athletes’ individual coordination qualities development, but also the ability to coordinate own movements with a partner. During the last ten years the level of technical mastery of athletes considerably increased. Nowadays the main tendencies of dancing programs development are the following: the use of high-amplitude athletically distinct elements, high dynamics of dance, the difficulty and diversity of programs increase. At the same time the level of coordination abilities development in this kind of sport is one of priority ones. Material. The materials for the research were official results of the protocols of control standards of coordination abilities development among 9-10 yearold children, who are engaged into sports ballroom dancing, the protocols of competitions and testing tasks. Research methods. During the work we analyzed profile scientific-methodical sources, official documents concerning sports dancing located on the official site of Dance Sport Federation of Russia (www.ftsr.ru). We also used the resume of the practicing specialists in the sphere of dance sport. Statistical processing of the received data was carried out using standard packages (Microsoft USA). The validity of the studied indices differences was established using generally accepted methods of mathematical statistics. Differences were considered significant at the probability of accepting the hypothesis p<0.05. Results. The study showed that the use of basketball elements helped to increase significantly the level of coordination abilities within the studied age. Conclusion. Using a wide range of difficult for coordination motor tasks, it is possible to increase significantly not only basic coordination abilities, but also create prerequisites for the specific motor actions development and improvement. That demand a high differentiation of movement parameters in the definite sports discipline.
