Twisting Techniques Used in Dismounts from the Rings

摘要: At the 1992 Olympic Games six full twisting double somersault dismounts were recorded with two video cameras during rings individual apparatus finals in men's Artistic Gymnastics competition. Angles describing body configuration determined from data and input, together initial orientation angle values angular momentum components, into a computer simulation model of aerial movement. Mean absolute deviations between after completion one half twist 0.01 rev for somersault, 2.8° tilt, 0.08 twist. When estimate tilt was adjusted by up to 1° these fell 1.6° 0.02 All 6 competitors produced majority using techniques that predominantly asymmetrical movements arms. Contributions subsequent removal reverse simulations, again arm main contributors.
