Methodology for visualizing and analyzing routine compositions in rhythmic gymnastics group exercise.

Abstract

This study aimed to establish a methodology for recording and analyzing routine compositions in rhythmic gymnastics group exercise. We developed a recording sheet based on previous research. In collaboration with two international judges, we documented the routine composition of a performance that achieved first place in both difficulty and artistic score in the Hoop5 event of the 39th FIG Rhythmic Gymnastics World Championships. We visualized the recorded content and confirmed a 96．8% agreement among the three judges. Furthermore, triangulation was conducted with two additional recorders, excluding the author, that validated the reliability and applicability of the method for recording and analyzing routine compositions by international judges.
