Differences in all-around results between regions in men and women artistic gymnastics

Expansion of artistic gymnastics brings new gyms, and number of children in the Compulsory program is increasing. For better progression of gymnastics, it is necessary to know in which regions of Croatia the results are weaker. The aim is to determine the differences in all-around score between four regions of Croatia in the Compulsory program, girls and boys. A sample consisted of 221 competitors, 170 girls and 41 boys, participating in the Croatian Championships. The sample of variables consisted of the all- around score and regions north, east, west, and south, which are composed of the gymnastics clubs. Differences between all-around score and regions was calculated by ANOVA with Bonferroni correction at the level of statistical significance p<0.05. Results have shown there is statistically significant difference in the younger age categories in girls. In younger categories in boys there is no statistically significant difference. Better results were achieved by the clubs in the region west and south, compared with the region north and east. In the older categories, both boys and girls, the best results are achieved in the region north, and the worst in the region east. It would be necessary to improve the quality of gymnastics in north and east region for younger age categories in girls and in the region east for older categories, boys and girls.
