  • 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.

  • 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.

  • TECHNICAL VAULT: FRONT HANDSPRING Page 1 of 6
    USA Gymnastics Online: Technique: TECHNICAL VAULT: FRONT HANDSPRING Page 1 of 6 Men's Vault Technical Vault: Front Handspring Mas Watanabe, National Technical Coordinator Illustrations by Mas Watanabe and Steve Whitlock The handspring vault is used as the technical vault in the USA Gymnastics J.O. Compulsory program for all levels. This basic vault does not require complex technique in its performance, but through mastery of the basics, gymnasts will develop and refine essential techniques that will serve them well when learning other more complex vaults. The main components of vaulting (such as running form and speed, hurdle step onto the board, quick and powerful take-off from the board, turn over from the board to the horse and repulsion off the horse) can all be refined and developed by learning a technically good handspring vault. One of the important and critical technical aspects of the front handspring is the ability to utilize the power of full running speed and body rotation at the take-off without the concern of over rotation. If the gymnast slows down his running speed to control his body rotation in the post-flight, it defeats the purpose of this technical vault. The main focus of this article is to discuss the techniques coaches should look for in order to permit the gymnast to control post-flight rotation. Physical preparation 1. Body tightness in hollow and arched position The mid-section of the body needs to be very strong for the powerful take-off from the board as well as for a strong repulsion off the horse.

    Legends of OSU Gymnastics, October 4, 2014 Title “Two National Champions Reflect on Oregon State Gymnastics” Date October 4, 2014 Location Dilg residence, Portland, Oregon. Summary In interview 2, Mary Law and Joy Petersen discuss their careers in gymnastics. The session begins with their reflections on first interests and involvement in gymnastics, their recruitment to OSU, and their experience of the impact of Title IX. Law and Petersen also comment on early (and, in many ways, inadequate) gymnastics facilities at OSU, gymnasts' diets, training routines, and memories of competing in Gill Coliseum. The duo likewise remarks on travelling to away meets, their Olympics aspirations, the environment at the NCAA championships, the coaching staffs under which they trained, and injuries that they both suffered. The interview then turns to memories of specific standout meets, the community that supports Oregon State gymnastics, and the circumstances by which Law and Petersen came to know one another. The session concludes with Law and Petersen reflecting on the conclusions of their gymnastics careers and lending their thoughts on the broader impact that their athletic careers have made on their lives.
