• Abstract:

  The Artistic (GA) and Rhythmic Gymnastics (GR) are exercise modalities

  in which the athletes need flexibility, a fundamental feature of acrobatics. This research

  had as a goal, evaluating the levels of flexibility in the practices of GA and GR in the

  city of João Pessoa. We evaluated 45 volunteers with ages of 15 ± 25 years old, 30

  from the GA group, where 15 were males (M) and 15 were female (F), and 15 of the

  GR-F group. After our intervention, we showed that there was no significant change in

  the levels of flexibility by age in the volunteers of the group GA-F (n=10) (15 -19 = 43 ±

  3.26 and 20-25 = 42 ± 2.582), of the group GA-M (n = 10) (15 -19 = 43.8 ± 3.227 and

  20 - 25 = 41.8 ± 2.76), and of the group GR-F (n = 10) (15-19 = 44.5 ± 2.037 and 20-25

  = 45.6 ± 1.568). The levels of flexibility compared between the volunteers from GA and

  GR-F (n = 30) displayed no important difference (GA = 42.37 ± 1.452 and GR = 45.57

  ± 1.354). When concentrating on the levels of flexibility between the participants in GA

  (F and M) (n = 30), we observed that there was no significant change ((M = 42.07 ±

  1.255 and F = 42.37 ± 1.452). We then concluded that the volunteers in GA and GR in

  the city of João Pessoa, when compared, have elevated and similar levels of flexibility.
