Abstract
The researcher examines physical fitness levels of 11-12-year-old pair-group sports acrobatics athletes through assessment of their performance against Uzbekistan's “Salomatlik” test standards. Current research about the physical and technical preparation of young acrobats has received limited attention in spite of increasing recognition for training quality improvements. This research uses pedagogical observation practice alongside tests and experiments with statistical approaches to assess speed-strength along with endurance agility flexibility and complete motor readiness of athletes. The study demonstrates that the majority of young acrobats achieve minimum scores equivalent to Levels I and II in their physical attributes but show inconsistent results when measuring their endurance level and their power output in their lower body. The data shows that out of the 12-year-olds who took the 1500-meter run test 34.2% passed Level I standards and a similar percentage of 11-year-olds (33.3%) did so. The highest standards of upper-body strength and flexibility tests were achieved by most young gymnasts but pull-ups and flexibility tests demonstrated universal adoption. The collected data showed that both physical and technical readiness among these age ranges stands at a “good” level but exhibits differences based on fitness aspects as well as chronological age. Sports educators together with coaches should follow these findings to develop training methods that target different age groups while recognizing the natural development sequence of athletes. The completed studies prove that modified specialized sport training should target better performance outcomes alongside protective measures for child athletes’ physical health and developmental stages.
