The Investigation of the Complex Coordination of the Second Part of Figure Skaters`
Free Skating
The Problem: statistic analysis of figure skaters` free programmes.
The Object of the Research: figure skaters (men and women):
A) Senior professional athletes taking part in The European Championships, in The World
Championships and in The Olympic Games.
B) Junior professional athletes taking part in different Junior ISU competitions.
The Subject of the Research: free programmes of figure skaters of different sports
qualification - Senior professional athletes and Junior professional athletes.
The Hypothesis of the Reseach:
A) The complex coordination of the second part of free programmes among the figure skaters
who have the same sports qualification directly depends on sportsmen`s rating.
B) The complex coordinaton of the second part of figure skaters` free programmes directly
depends on the sports qualification.
C) The complex coordination of the second part of free programmes for men is higher than
for women.
The Aim of the Research: learning the difference of figure skaters` free programmes
accoding to the new ISU Judging System paying attention to the second part of the
programme. Researching the dependence of free programmes complex coordination on
different factors.
The Tasks of the Reseach:
A) To make the statistic analysis of the complex coordination in the second part of free
programmes for men and women of different sports qualification.
B) To make the comparison of the complex coordination in the second part of free
programmes for figure skaters with different rating.
C) To make the comparison of the complex coordination in the second part of free
programmes for figure skaters of different sports qualification.
D) To make the comparison of the complex coordination in the second part of free
programmes for men and women.
The Methods of the Reseach:
A) Analysis of different literature including ISU judges` detailed protocols of different ISU
competitions.
B) Video materials of different ISU competitions.
C) The method of mathematical statistics.
The problem of the research gives us an opportunity to see the dependence of the complex
coordination in the second part of figure skaters` free programmes (because of the special
credits for all jumps in the second part of free programmes) on different factors (sportsmen`s
rating, their qualification and sex) and to see the influence of the complex coordination in the
second part of the programmes on the final results.
