FACTORS DEVELOPING FLEXIBILITY IN 6-7 YEAR OLD CHILDREN ENGAGED IN RHYTHMIC GYMNASTICS.

Abstract

This article examines the key factors influencing the development of flexibility in 6- to 7-year-old children involved in rhythmic gymnastics. Flexibility is defined as the body's ability to perform movements with a large amplitude due to the elasticity of muscles, ligaments, joint mobility, and motor coordination. Particular emphasis is placed on early childhood, when the child's body is most receptive to the development of physical qualities, and tissues are highly elastic, which creates optimal conditions for the safe and effective development of flexibility
