  • 1298 Kinematic Analysis of Basket with 5/4 Turn To
    33rd International Conference on Biomechanics in Sports, Poitiers, France, June 29 - July 3, 2015 Floren Colloud, Mathieu Domalain & Tony Monnet (Editors) Coaching and Sports Activities KINEMATIC ANALYSIS OF BASKET WITH 5/4 TURN TO HANDSTAND OF SHIXIONG ZHOU ON PARALLEL BARS Wei Xie, Jihe Zhou, Shuai Wang Chengdu Sport University, Chengdu, China The basket with 5/4 turn to handstand on parallel bars is a representative movement of E group; in 1896 it is listed as the Olympic Games project. The parallel bars have been one of the Chinese men's gymnastics advantage projects since 1980s. From 1980 to 2011, China's elite athletes Li Yuejiu, Lou Yun, Li Jing, Huang Liping, Zhang Jingjin, Li Xiaopeng and Yang Wei won more than a dozen times world champion on the parallel bars in the world gymnastics competitions. China's athletes can keep long-term advantage of this project status and competitive strength, in addition to keep pace with the times innovation of difficult moves, there is another important reason is to continuously improve the leading trend of action quality. KEY WORDS: Kinematic analysis, Shixiong Zhou, parallel bars. INTRODUCTION: At present, only Chinese gymnast ShiXiong Zhou can complete this action in the world, in the final of the 2012 national gymnastics championships in the parallel bars, ShiXiong Zhou failed to complete the action very well. Therefore, in order to improve the quality of this action, it’s necessary to analyze the action from both qualitative and quantitative aspects. We made a 3D camera resolution on ShiXiong Zhou at the game site, with the three-dimensional analysis we gained the kinematic parameters.Thus to analyze the reasons of errors, which provides theoretical and technical basis for the development and improvement of Chinese athletes.

  • The Parallel Bars Movements with Strain of Bars
    35th Conference of the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports, Cologne, Germany, June 14-18, 2017 THE PARALLEL BARS MOVEMENTS WITH STRAIN OF BARS AW Suraj Chandana, Lv Wangang, Yi Mingnong and Wei Xubo Department of Sports Engineering, Wuhan Sports University, Wuhan, China The long swing movements of a national level gymnast (50.4kg) were used to observe time history of joint angles of body and the middle points of the parallel bars in different conditions. Parallel bars were modelled using four massless spring dampers and two point masses. Further, a 50kg metal spear was attached to the middle points of the parallel bars and their oscillations on different planes were observed. Parameters were calculated using a parallel bars model and were compared with the standard specifications of the Federation of International Gymnastics (FIG). Hence, the dynamic forces which are acting on the middle points of the parallel bars for a longswing movement were calculated. KEY WORDS: gymnastic, long swing movement, parallel bars, strain, INTRODUCTION: The International Gymnastic Federation has introduced different varieties of execution errors for long swing (in hang on parallel bars) movements (Code of Point, 2017). To minimise the execution errors of movement, gymnasts need to utilise bar strain in the correct manner. Therefore, gymnasts need to know how well they utilise not only the body dynamics but also the dynamic properties of exercise equipment/apparatus which interact with their bodies (Yamasaki, Yasuhiro & Gotoh, 2008). The bar strain of parallel bars significantly affects artistic completion of high difficulty long swing movements on bars. For this aspect, biomechanical models can provide with important factors which are based on performance (Hiley & Yeadon, 2005).

  • The Xith Olympic Games Berlin, 1936 Official Report Volume II
    THE XITH OLYMPIC GAMES BERLIN, 1936 OFFICIAL REPORT VOLUME II BY ORGANISATIONSKOMITEE FÜR DIE XI. OLYMPIADE BERLIN 1936 E.V. PUBLISHED BY WILHELM LIMPERT, BERLIN, S.W. 68 The Dietrich Eckart Open-Air Theatre provided an ideal site for the gymnastic competitions. Gymnastics When the preliminary work for the gymnastic contests was begun in 1933, the circumstance arose that the body concerned, the German Gymnastic Association, did not belong to the International Gymnastic Federation. Individual German gymnasts had competed in earlier Olympic Games, but there had been no official participation of the German Gymnastic Association. Now, in the few years between 1933 and 1936, it was necessary to establish a union with the nations represented in the International Gymnastic Federation. The Gymnastic World Championship contests, held in Budapest in 1934, offered the first opportunity to establish this contact. On the occasion of these contests, Germany, that is, the German Gymnastic Association, was admitted into the International Gymnastic Federation. On this occasion, the German men gymnasts for the first time participated as a group 837 in an international contest, competing against 12 nations. The Olympic Games offered the German women gymnasts their first opportunity to test their ability in an international contest. The problem of the manner in which the gymnastic contests should be carried out was studied in great detail by the Organizing Committee. When it was certain that the Dietrich Eckart Theatre would be constructed, the problem of a suitable contest site was solved. It was then possible to begin the purely technical part of the preparations-the provision of the apparatus, the publication of the exercises, etc.
