Purpose.Gymnastics, in general, and aerobic gymnastics, in particular, influence greatly the physical, mental, moral and aesthetical development and improvement of the individual. Therefore, for its developers, aerobic gymnastics becomes a life style based on the joy of effort, on its educative value and on the compliance with the universal fundamental ethical principles. Methods.The paper shows a comparative analysis from a quantitative point of view on the use of static and dynamic strength elements at the 12 editions of the Aerobic Gymnastics World Championships. We mention that the Romanian aerobic gymnastics teams participated in all 12 editions of the World Championships starting with 1995 and recorded notable results, in 2006 being ranked first in the team competition. Results.Group A elements (dynamic strength) and group B elements (static strength) are used almost equally in routines. The research method used is a video-based study. The results confirm the working hypothesis. The conclusions certify that in all events, women`s individual, men`s individual, mixed pairs, trios and group, the static strength elements (group B) record a higher rate than the dynamic strength ones (group A).
