In this paper, the authors highlight the content of uneven parallel bars technical elements learning and improvement at junior female gymnasts’ level. For this purpose, we started from the premise that the individualized use of preparatory exercises during the training sessions will bring continuity to the workouts at uneven parallel bars and successful participation in the contest. This led to a case study carried out in the School Sports Club No. 2 in Bucharest, with a training group of 5 junior gymnasts, 12-14 years old, who participated in Women Juniors II class. The study was conducted over a period of three training mezzo-cycles (1.II. - 3.IV.2010), covering the preparatory period - basic stage, the pre-competitive stage and the competitive stage. Each stage of training was focused on the dynamic learning of the technical elements, on part I and II of the exercise and also on the scoring in the contest. The results of the study highlight the dynamics of the technical elements learning throughout the training mezzo-cycles and the increase of the execution scores from one test to another. The selection of the most effective preparatory exercises for learning and perfecting the technical elements at uneven parallel bars in different training stages highlights the technical training level and the successful participation in the contest, fact that confirms the hypothesis of the study performed.
