Research on the Selection and Arrangement of Difficult Movements Floor Exercise Routine Based on the 2013 Version of FIG New Rules

Depending on the research methods of literature review and videotape observation, the paper conducts statistics and analyzes the action types, difficult movements, connection-string, arrangement characteristics of the world elite gymnasts’ floor exercise routine in London Olympics. The research results show that the selection series of difficult movements in floor exercise include: salto fwd.str.with 3/2 t., salto fwd.str.with 2/1 t., salto bwd.str. with 5/2 t., salto bwd.str.with 3/1 t. Bwd jump with 1/2t.t and dbl. salto fwd.t. are the backbone of difficult movements. The dominant difficulty action include salto fwd.str.with 5/2 t., double salto fwd.piked, double salto bwd. tucked with 2/1t. and Thomas stretched. The quality difficult movements include double salto fwd.stretched, salto bwd.str.with 4/1 t. and double salto bwd.tucked with 3/1t. The "return" string of "C+D or D+C" is the mainstream of the difficult connection, and the direct connection between salto forward twist and salto backward twist is the dominant connection; the acrobatic elements backwards superiority pattern and the acrobatic elements forward superiority pattern are the mainstream arrangement patterns while the "mixed mode" still has some room for development.
