Rhythmic gymnastics offers a context for motor development. This study examined the association between the Overlapping Waves Strategy and traditional instruction in fundamental club skills.
A cluster‐allocated quasi‐experimental design (16 sessions) was implemented among 64 fifth‐grade female students. Participants received Overlapping Waves Strategy (
Two‐way mixed ANOVA revealed significant group × time interactions (all
The strategy provides a structured pedagogical framework for physical education, suggesting potential feasibility, though limited by the specific single‐setting and demographic parameters, and policy recommendations remain premature without broader replication.
Preliminary findings indicate greater short‐term execution of club skills in the experimental classroom. Classroom‐level confounding cannot be excluded. Replication in cluster‐randomized designs with retention measures is required.
