EXAMINATION OF MOVEMENT PATTERNS THAT REFLECT THE PROFICIENCY LEVEL IN STRADDLE VAULT FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN

The purpose of the present study was to examine movement patterns that reflect proficiency straddle vault in elementary school students and clarify differences technique depending on gender, grade, height vaulting box. subjects were 453 children (220 boys, 233 girls) from 3rd-6th grade. Their movements recorded left front sides scored by observational evaluation criterion. Latent class analysis used extract vault. probability belonging each pattern tabulated To investigate characteristics for box, we performed a χ2 test residual analysis. As result identifying latent analysis, it became clear can be categorized into five groups: Failure vaulting, Arm dependent Unstable landing Stable Strong push-off vaulting. There no difference between boys girls appearance rate (χ2=7.707, p>0.05). Although there significant grades (χ2=42.615, p<0.01), but highly proficient didn't tend increase as increased. clarified this are thought lead detailed children's enhancement instruction according their proficiency.
