Abstract

The research problem centered on answering the following questions: What is the dominant (controlling) side of the brain among fourth-stage students in the rhythmic gymnastics curriculum, and what is the effect of the adopted approach on the performance of Kinetic Assortment using the ring based on the brain's dominant side? The study aimed to identify the dominant side of the brain in fourth-stage students at the Faculty of Physical Education for Girls / University of Baghdad and to determine the impact of the adopted training approach on their performance of Kinetic Assortment using the ring. The researcher employed the experimental method due to its appropriateness for the nature of the study. The research sample consisted of 40 students from a total population of 201 students during the 2013–2014 academic year. The sample was divided into two experimental groups, each comprising 20 students, categorized according to their dominant brain side. The study included data collection tools, equipment, and pre- and post-tests following the application of the training curriculum. The statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS. The findings revealed that the adopted approach had a positive impact on the performance of Kinetic Assortment, and students with left-brain dominance showed more effectiveness in performing the motor sequences.
