Abstract
Physical self-concept and body composition in aesthetic disciplines are important due to their influence on performance in competition. The aim of this study was to analyse possible relationships between different anthropometric measures and dimensions of physical self-concept (PSC) with artistic performance in elite acrobatic gymnasts during competition. A quantitative correlational study was conducted with a sample of 50 gymnasts aged between 11 and 19 years (14.9±2.39), 28% male and 72% female. The sample was divided into two groups according to the total score obtained at the 2021 Spanish Championships. Body mass index (BMI) and the Physical Self-Concept Questionnaire (CAF) were analysed. The results showed higher CAF scores in the group with better performance, although a significant difference was only found in the Strength (F) dimension (U=137.0; p=.001). Artistic scores were also significantly higher in this group across all exercises: Balance (U = 134.0; p = .001), Dynamic (U = 39.5; p = .000), and Combined (U = 119.5; p = .000). The strongest associations were found in the higher-performing Group 1, with positive relationships observed between the dimensions of physical condition, strength, and general physical self-concept and the Balance exercise; physical condition and the Dynamic exercise; and strength and the Combined exercise. In the lower-performing Group 2, only the General self-concept dimension was associated with the Combined and Dynamic exercises. Anthropometric variables were positively associated with physical appearance, physical condition, and sports ability in Group 1, and with strength in Group 2.

Title:Telesna samopodoba in telesna sestava : povezava med orodno telovadbo in akrobatiko
Abstract:
Telesna samopodoba in telesna sestava sta v lepotnih disciplinah pomembni zaradi njunega vpliva na tekmovalno uspešnost. Cilj te raziskave je bil razčleniti možne povezave med različnimi telesnimi merami in merami telesne samopodobe (PSC) z umetniško uspešnostjo pri vrhunskih akrobatih med tekmovanjem. Izvedena je bila raziskava z vzorcem 50 akrobatov, starih med 11 in 19 let (14,9 ± 2,39), od tega 28 % moških in 72 % žensk. Vzorec je bil razdeljen v dve skupini glede na skupni rezultat, dosežen na španskem prvenstvu leta 2021. Razčlenjena sta bila indeks telesne mase (ITM) in vprašalnik o telesni samopodobi (CAF). Rezultati so pokazali višje rezultate CAF v skupini z boljšo uspešnostjo, čeprav je bila pomembna razlika ugotovljena le v izmeri sile (F) (U = 137,0; p = 0,001). Tudi umetniški rezultati so bili v tej skupini bistveno višji pri vseh vajah: ravnotežju (U = 134,0; p = 0,001), gibanju (U = 39,5; p = 0,000) in kombinaciji (U = 119,5; p = 0,000). Najmočnejše povezave so bile ugotovljene v najbolj uspešni skupini 1, s pozitivnimi povezavami med merami telesne pripravljenosti, moči in splošne telesne samopodobe ter vajami ravnotežja; telesno pripravo in gibanju; ter močjo in kombiniranimi vajami. V slabše uspešni skupini 2 je bila s kombiniranimi vajami in gibanjem povezana le mera splošne samopodobe. Telesne spremenljivke so bile v skupini 1 pozitivno povezane s telesnim videzom, telesno pripravo in gibalnimi sposobnostmi, v skupini 2 pa s silo.
