In men's artistic gymnastics the triple straight somersault dismount from the high bar has yet to be performed in competition. The present study used a simulation model of a gymnast and the high bar apparatus (J. Appl. Biomech. 19(2003a) 119) to determine whether a gymnast could produce the required angular momentum and flight to complete a triple straight somersault dismount. Optimisations wer...

Introduction To understand MRI, it is first necessary to understand the physics of proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). The most important site of this resonance relevant to MRI is the nucleus of the hydrogen atom in water. While other protons occur within biological molecules, water represents the most important site for MRI due to the concentration of protons in water and the dynamical pr...
