Kinematics Analysis Of „Tsukahara“ Vault In Artistic Gymnastics: A Case Study

Vol.4,No.2(2010)

Abstract

This paper is concerned with kinematics analysis of sport technique of two young female gymnasts from the Czech Republic junior gymnastics team. Aim of the study was to compare kinematic variables that governed success of the “Tsukahara” vault performed by two young female gymnasts with early studies. Filming was conducted using a 2D digital camera Panasonic NV-MX500EG. Shutter speed was set to 1/500s. Position of camera was perpendicular to vaulting table. Data was digitized using the SIMI MOTION software. Cohen´s coefficient d was used to compare changes in mean of each analysed variables. Results of the study determined errors in chosen kinematic variables and sport technique. Sport biomechanics could improve sport technique, training and minimize injuries.
