Rotational Preference in Gymnastics

In gymnastics, most skills incorporate rotations about one or more body axes. At present, the question remains open if factors such as lateral preference and/or vestibulo-spinal asymmetry are related to gymnast's rotational preference. Therefore, we sought to explore relationships in gymnast's rotation direction between different gymnastic skills. Furthermore, we sought to explore relationships...

Modeling a Springboard in Gymnastics

For development and optimization of elements in gymnastics` vault, the knowledge of the angular momentum, take-off velocity and thus the forces on the springboard are of interest. A multi-body model was developed for the determination of forces. The following article describes the creation of a springboard model and therefore the identification and evaluation of physical parameters acting durin...
