indent Abstract
This paper contains a comparative analysis of competition routines with a hoop, ball or rope of the top six competitors at the World Championship in Moscow 2010 and the top six competitors at the Serbian Championship in Belgrade 2010. This analysis was conducted on the basis of the proportion of body difficulties from various structural groups (leaps, balances, pirouettes, flexibilities and waves) comprised within the routines of the competitors with corresponding apparatus (hoop, ball, rope) in both championships. The aim of this research was to identify the similarities and differences in the structure of leaps, pirouettes, balances and elements of flexibilities and waves of the first six competitors in both championships by analyzing their routines on video recordings. The findings discovered that the competitors in the World Championship demonstrated a considerably higher level of technical value in their routines compared to the Serbian competitors. The competitors at World level perform difficulties of greater average difficulties from all structural groups in their routines with a hoop, ball and rope and these differences are generally important from a statistical point of view. The greatest differences were noticed in pirouettes, whereas differences in the structure of flexibilities were the least, compared to other structural groups.
