.Trampoline gymnastics is a modern sport that has been included inthe program of the Olympic Games since 2000.Constant improvement of the sports equipment, changes and innovations to theinternational rules of competitions ensure the continuous development of the sport andthe wide world popularity of trampoline gymnastics.Aim is to acknowledge the relationship between the modernization of sportsequipment and increasing of the difficulty score of competitive routines of athletes intrampoline gymnastics.Material and methods: theoretical analysis of scientific and methodical literature,retrospective analysis of protocols of international competitions, video analysis,methods of mathematical statistics.Results. The conducted research allowed to determine the main models oftrampolines used at the international competitions in different historical periods; videoanalysis revealed the basic elements which formed athletes' competitive routines in1964-1972; retrospective analysis of protocols of international competitions permittedto calculate the average, maximum and minimum difficulty scores of competitiveroutines of leading athletes in trampoline gymnastics at the World Championships andthe World Cups from 1972 to 2020 and identify the interconnection betweenmodernization of the trampolines and increasing of the difficulty scores of competitiveroutines of trampoline athletes in different historical periods of the sport development.Conclusions. The led studies confirmed the interconnection between increasingof numbers of high difficult elements and difficulty scores of competitive routines ofathletes and modernization of sports equipment in trampoline. According to the resultsof the research, the average difficulty score of competitive routines of qualified athletesraised from 0.2 to 0.5 points and maximum difficulty score from 0.1 to 0.7 points afterintroduction of each new model of trampoline.
