Abstract

The results of investigation of psychological characteristics of 13 high-skilled rhythmic gymnasts are presented. The experimental procedure was conducted by means of “Sport imagery questionnaire” (SIQ) and objective methods (“Chronoscope-2006”, “Aktivaziometr”). It was shown that gymnasts prefer to use imageries of cognitive type but not motivational and use internal perspective of imagery versus external one. Participants were classified in all degree of movement’s coordination level, i.e. in spite of their professional high-level; they are varied in the way of mastering movement.
