Photos by John Cheng he USA’s Jordyn Wieber and Germany’s Fabian Hambuechen won the all-around titles at the 2009 Tyson American Cup, Feb. 21, at the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Ill. T“I feel honored to win the Tyson American Cup,” said 13-year-old Wieber who trains at Twistars USA in Dimondale, Mich.“It was so much fun today. I just wanted to come in and hit my routines and do the best I could. I was very happy with how things went.” “It’s a great feeling and a good start for the year,” said Hambuechen. “This is the fifth time I’ve competed in this event and the first time for me to hit all my routines. I had surgery on my finger in December and I also had the flu in January, so my preparation was very difficult for this competition. I plan to go back to the gym and upgrade for European Championships in April.” Bridget Sloan of Sharp’s Gymnastics in Indianapolis, Ind., placed second for the women and the USA’s David Sender of Stanford University, and Joseph Hagerty of the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo., finished second and third, respectively, for the men. Wieber, the 2008 U.S. junior all-around champion, and Sloan, a member of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team that won the team silver medal, went 1-2 with scores of 60.200 and 59.600, respectively. Germany’s Kim Bui rounded out the top three with a score of 56.000. Hambuechen scored a 90.650, followed by Sender, the 2008 U.S. all-around champion, in second with a 90.450, and Hagerty, a member of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team that won the team bronze medal, in third with an 89.550. WOMEN The women began the competition on vault, with 13-year-old Wieber posting a score of 15.750 on her Yurchenko two-and-a-half.

  • Fatigue, Complexity and Technical Execution in Cheerleading
    Review Paper Fatigue, complexity and technical execution in cheerleading KATIE DONOVAN, KIRSTEN SPENCER 1 School of Sport and Recreation, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand ABSTRACT Cheerleading is a technical, explosive and physically demanding sport. Currently there is very limited knowledge or specific research in regard to both routine fatigue and technical execution of skills at different levels of cheerleading performance. This review investigates the potential impact of fatigue on the performance of the technical back handspring manoeuvre and suggests avenues for future research. Four phases of movement are identified within the completed handspring. At each phase the variation in biomechanical factors of velocity, trajectory, angular momentum are examined as crucial determinants to successful skill execution. Keywords: Dynamic systems; Strength and conditioning; Velocity; Trajectory; Angular momentum; Back handstand. Cite this article as: Donovan, K., & Spencer, K. (2019).

This scientific approach led to the organization of an ascertaining study conducted throughout the National Master Championship held from 16th to 18th of November 2012 in ”Nadia Comăneci” Multifunctional Hall of Onesti. A number of 5 gymnasts (finalists on floor) aged 12 to 14, members of the training junior team of Deva, participated in this study. The following methods have been used during the research: method of bibliographic study, method of pedagogical observation, method of video biomechanical analysis, using Physics Toolkit program, experimental method, statistical method (PyPlot) and method of graphical representation. The results of the kinematic characteristics of sports technique key elements used in back layout somersault with 900° twist on floor highlight the phasic sequence of the execution, in terms of preparatory movement made from round-off – back flip connection, moment of taking off of the floor – launching posture, multiplication of body posture (flight phase of the somersault) and the concluding posture – with landing or with launching posture for connection with a front tucked somersault.

  • American Cup Returns to Greensboro, N.C., in 2019
    American Cup returns to Greensboro, N.C., in 2019 GREENSBORO, N.C., April 26, 2018 – The American Cup, the USA’s most prestigious international invitational and part of the International Gymnastics Federation’s all-around World Cup series, returns to the Greensboro (N.C.) Coliseum Complex on March 2, 2019, at 11:30 a.m. ET. The American Cup, which was held in Greensboro in 2014, is the anchor of a week that includes four gymnastics events. In addition to the American Cup, the Triple Cup weekend includes the Nastia Liukin Cup on March 1 at 7 p.m. and the men’s Elite Team Cup at 6 p.m. on March 2. The Greensboro Coliseum Complex is also hosting the 2019 Greensboro Gymnastics Invitational Feb. 27-March 3, turning the city into “gymnastics central.” The USA’s Morgan Hurd of Middletown, Del./First State Gymnastics, and Yul Moldauer of Arvada, Colo./University of Oklahoma, won the 2018 American Cup. The American Cup showcases many of the world’s best male and female gymnasts in a one-day, all- around competition, and invitations to compete will be based on performances at the 2018 World Gymnastics Championships. Held in conjunction with the American Cup, the Nastia Liukin Cup features many of the country’s top Junior Olympic female gymnasts and is held at 7 p.m. on the night prior to the American Cup. Named after the 2008 Olympic gold medalist and one of the USA’s most popular gymnasts, the Nastia Liukin Cup showcases gymnasts who qualify through the Nastia Liukin Cup Series.

  • Movement Prototypes and Their Relationship in the Performance of a Gymnastics Floor Routine
    Original Article Movement prototypes and their relationship in the performance of a gymnastics floor routine MELANIE MACK 1 , SARAH FEDERBUSCH, MELANIE FERBER, THOMAS HEINEN Faculty of Sport Science, Leipzig University, Leipzig, Germany ABSTRACT For a better understanding of complex gymnastics performances, on the one hand, it is relevant to analyse isolated time discrete parameters, but on the other hand, it is also relevant to analyse the time-course of gymnastics skills and sequences holistically. Thus, the purpose of this study was to realize a holistic examination of a gymnastics floor routine (round off, back handspring, backward layout somersault) with an innovative approach of analysing time continuous data using a cluster analysis. Fifty-eight floor routine trials from ten female near-expert gymnasts were analysed on their movement kinematics. Time courses of six joint angles, together with the trunk orientation angle, were analysed by means of a hierarchical cluster analysis. In addition, the coefficients of variation were calculated. The results of this study revealed that for near-expert gymnasts, three to four prototypical movement patterns could be identified for each of the three skills (round off, back handspring, backward layout somersault). The different prototypical movement patterns can be differentiated by certain variant and invariant characteristics, such as the time courses of the different joint angles and their coefficients of variation. Statistically significant relationships were found between prototypes of the different gymnastics skills. In light of the training process in gymnastics, the study provides further evidence for strongly considering gymnasts’ movement pattern as well as for focusing on particular movement characteristics rather than on particular gymnastics skills in regard to motor skill acquisition and optimization.

  • Gymnastics National Collegiate Men’S
    Gymnastics NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S Highlights Michigan’s men’s gymnastics title is one for the books: ”The ring is the thing.” It’s an expression that puts emphasis on winning championships above all else, but for the six schools competing for the NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championships on May 16, it had new relevance. For Michigan, the event at West Point will always be remembered as the night the school won its fourth NCAA Men’s Gymnastics National Championship while junior Chris Cameron took home the all-around national title. For those in attendance, however, it will be remembered for the frequent delays caused by the broken still rings. “This is my 22nd NCAA, I guess, and this has to be the strangest one ever,” said Oklahoma coach Mark Williams. “We’ve had some (parallel bars) break and some minor equip- ment things, but nothing that took nearly as long as this. It wasn’t completely fixed when they got it done. This will be one for the record books I guess.” As Illinois’ Tyler Williamson was in the middle of his rings routine in the third session, he felt something give. “I was swinging up backwards. I was about halfway up and the ring just wasn’t feeling right in my hand,” Williamson said. When Williamson returned back to earth, everyone realized the left ring was cracked. Army’s gymnasts rushed in along with a few other helpers to dismantle and reassemble the rings during the first break in action. After the agreed upon three-minute warm- up session, the gymnasts took the mats to finish the night, but there was a lingering sense of trepidation around the apparatus.
