The following methods were used throughout this research: method of bibliographic study; method of pedagogical observation; method of pedagogical experiment; method of tests; method of experts; video computerized method of biomechanical analysis and the statistical-mathematical method. The theoretical and experimental argumentation of the component elements of the macro-methods for learning the exercises of women’s artistic gymnastics during the basic specialization stage can serve as a methodical guide for coaches – teachers specialized in women’s artistic gymnastics.
