Abstract

Aim: The analysis of the score components that affect the result in rhythmic gymnastics group (RGG) routines can guide the decisions to be made in the future evaluation and competition rules, and the physical preparation of the coaches and athletes. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of total score components on total score in the Group All-Around RankingApparatus Qualification of 1st Rhythmic Gymnastics Junior World Championships (WCh), which was organized for the first time in 2019, Moscow, Russian Federation. Methods: In this study, 455 components of a total of 65 group routines were analyzed in 5 hoops (33 countries) and 5 ribbons routines (32 countries). Descriptive statistics and linear regression analysis were used for all score components. Results: In 5 hoops and 5 ribbons routines, the effect of D1-2 scores on DTS was 91% and 81%, the effect of D3-4 scores on DTS was 99% and 95%, the effect of DTS on TS was 98% and 98% respectively, also in the E score components, the effect of deduction E1-2 scores on TS was 93% and 95%, the effect of deduction E3-4-5-6 scores on ETS was 88% and 99%, the effect of ETS on TS was 94% and 97% respectively (p<0.001). In both routines, the effect of DTS on TS was more than ETS. It was determined that the effects of D1-2 and D3-4 components on DTS in 5 hoops routines were higher than in 5 ribbons routines and the most effective subcomponent on DTS was D3-4. In the 5 ribbons routines, the effect of ETS was observed to be higher than the 5 hoops routines. Conclusion: A good balance to be established between the score components is important for the integrity of composition. The predominance of one component can disrupt the beauty of unity.
