Scores in artistic gymnastics are subject to changes in the rules that occur each Olympic cycle as outlined in the Code of Points, because rules influence the composition of routines and therefore performance. The aim of this study was to identify the most important routine apparatus for success in a World competition. The data were the official results for the 478 gymnasts (262 men, 216 women) who competed in the 43rd Artistic Gymnastic World Championships in 2011 in Tokyo, Japan. The factors least influenced by the technical standard of competitors were performance scores on uneven bars and balance beam for women, and those on pommel horse for men. For uneven bars, balance beam, and pommel horse, scores were consistently good predictors of final standing. Our results suggest that high scores on these apparatus have a greater influence on overall performance than scores on the other apparatus, regardless of the competitors' standard.
艺术体操评分受规则变化的影响，这些变化在每个奥运周期都会根据《评分规则》进行调整，因为规则会影响成套动作的构成，从而影响表现。本研究的目的是确定在世界比赛中获得成功的最重要的成套器械。数据来自于 2011 年在日本东京举行的第 43 届世界艺术体操锦标赛中 478 名运动员（262 名男子，216 名女子）的官方成绩。对于女子的高低杠和平衡木，以及男子的鞍马，运动员技术标准对这些器械的成绩影响最小。对于高低杠、平衡木和鞍马，成绩一直是最终排名的良好预测因素。我们的研究结果表明，无论运动员的水平如何，这些器械上的高分对整体表现的影响比其他器械上的分数更大。
