Research of the Rhythmical Abilities of Sports Students

Abstract

The elaborateness of motor activities in sports disciplines increases the requirements to agility being a complex quality of athletes. The different components of this quality, defined as ability for quick change in the execution of movements and abilities for reaction in various conditions, are in complex interrelation. Object of the research is the rhythmical abilities of students studying at the three faculties of the National Sports Academy – coach faculty, physical education faculty and kinesitherapy faculty. In order to assess the coordination in rhythm we used four tests of Damjanovska, M., Gontarev, S., Rhedzepi, A., Gantcheva, G. (2015). The results from the research show that the students in the three faculties possess good rhythmical abilities. The sports practiced with musical accompaniment facilitate the harmonious mastery of coordination in rhythm.
