The main aim of this paper was to investigate the influence of the number of acrobatic and dance elements on different exercise scores in five apparatus finals in the Olympic Games (OG) from 2000 to 2016. The sample included a total of 40 participants of the Apparatus Finals Competitions from the last five OG. The results revealed the following trends: 1) a decrease of D score from OG 2000 up to OG 2012 and then its slight value increase at OG 2016 ; 2) continuous decrease of E score and final score value from OG 2000 to OG 2016. ANOVA revealed significant differences between years for D, E and final score. Also, for acrobatic and dance elements, ANOVA revealed significant differences over the years. Results of regression analyses show that only a few scores obtained in floor finals at OG from 2000 to 2016, have been under the impact of certain group of elements. Despite different scoring rules that were valid in the analysed competitions, specific group of elements had a significant impact on a particular score but only in some competitions. |
