چکیده

Experienced gymnasts are considered by many to be landing experts, because they are able to successfully land from heights of 3m or more (McNitt-Gray, 1993). Although gymnasts may be landing experts, their landing mechanics cannot be determined solely by optimal landing strategies because the judging system places constraints on how a landing is to be performed. Gymnasts spend many years perfecting their landings to fulfill these judging requirements, likely affecting their landing mechanics.

Landing Quality in Artistic Gymnastics Is Related to Landing Symmetry

In gymnastics every exercise finishes with a landing. The quality of landing depends on subjective (e.g. biomechanical) and objective (e.g. mechanical characteristics of landing area) factors. The aim of our research was to determine which biomechanical (temporal, kinematic and dynamic) characteristics of landing best predict the quality of landing. Twelve male gymnasts performed a stretched fo...

Investigation of spinal posture signatures and ground reaction forces during landing in elite female gymnasts.

The link between static and dynamic landing lumbar postures, when gymnasts are exposed to large ground reaction forces, has not been established. This investigation aimed to (a) determine if a relationship exists between sagittal static and dynamic landing lumbar spine angles at peak ground reaction force (GRF) and (b) quantify how close to end-range postures the gymnasts were at landing peak G...

Compare the profile of anthropometric, somatotype and body composition between novice and professional 6 to 8 years old gymnasts

The aim of this study was to compare the profile of anthropometric, somatotype and body composition between novice and professional 6 to 8 years old gymnasts. A total of 40 gymnasts in tow group (20 novice gymnasts and 20 professional gymnasts) participated in this study. A total of 17 anthropometric, somatotype and body composition variables were recorded of each subject. The tools used in thi...

The Effect of a Long-Term Artistic Gymnastic Training on Reaction Time of Male Gymnasts

Since there are variations in the reaction times of athletes in different sports, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a specific training program on a simple reaction time of male gymnasts. In this longitudinal study, fourteen adolescent gymnasts (mean age 12.6 ± 2.1 years) were randomly selected to work out for 15 months in the artistic group. Simple reaction ti...
