Abstract: The authors analyzed the movement development situation of excellent Japanese male gymnasts, and re-vealed the following results: (1) floor exercise: they valued the development of high difficulty movements in group D or higher and their connections, the development of movements in the “2 forward somersaults” category, and non-skill movement development stability; (2) pommel horse: they valued the use of the “reverse crossover to hand-stand movement”, abandoned the use of movements in the “Russian wendeswing” category, valued the use of FLOPS, combination movements and displacement type movements; (3) rings: their strength (static) movements and swinging to strength static movements were underdeveloped, they valued the use of swinging movements, they completed the ending movement, mainly in the “body rotation” category, in a high quality fashion; (4) vault: mostly they used movements in the “handspring with 90°or 180° in the first flight phase” category; (5) parallel bars: they avoided movements in the “2 somersaults into hanging arms” category, tended to use movements in the “somersault into overhang” category, and short radius and pendulum movement development stability; (6) horizontal bars: they emphasized the high quality completion of pendulum movements whose purpose was to meet the requirements of the movement groups, valued flight movement development; their development of flight strings with connection value was slow, they reduced the use of movements in the “positive/reverse turning arms (hybrid) grip” category; their Adler development was steady, etc. Key words: competition and training；Tokyo Olympic cycle；male gymnast；excellent athlete；movement development；Japan
