Sažetak
Paper aims to identify and explain the changes in the compositions of uneven bars routines observed through the change of the frequencies of performed elements, respectively groups of elements, performed on uneven bars in Apparatus Finals on the Olympic Games held from 2000 to 2016. From the sample of 40 participants of those competitions, uneven bars routines have been analyzed and written with gymnastics symbols by experienced gymnastics judge. Based on the obtained information, a decreasing trend of the number of performed elements in routines has been determined. Also, the appearance of „connected elements“, which are stated as one element in the Code of Points, has been identified. Due to obtained results, it is assumed that future uneven bars routines will probably be composed out of „connected elements“, that are further going to be connected resulting in bonification. Such routines are technically very demanding and valuable from the point of difficulty value and can be performed only by the best uneven bars’ competitors. It is assumed that only gymnasts with such routines will be able to qualify for the future Apparatus Finals on the highest-level competitions.
