Study of Biomechanics Characteristics of Tsukahara Vault in Women's Artistic Gymnastics

AbstractProblem statement The main emphasis in the methodology to optimize the Tsukahara vault is to achieve ideal flight paths, to increase height and length of flight II, to extend the flight time which contributes to increased difficulty manifested in the number of rotation degrees of the body on a longitudinal axis or the number of rotations made by the athlete on a transversal axis to landing. The video analysis is an important method of recording direct observation and helps to share the stage film moments, allowing technical improvement and knowledge of kinematic and dynamic characteristics of motion parameters with the possibility to compare and evaluate the differences between athletes or the same athlete performance in time. Method and Procedure In accordance with the principles of biomechanics and technical rules of execution of the vault, the study aims to define the biomechanical aspects of Tsukahara vault tucked, performed by a representative junior gymnast. Based on these criteria, providing quantitative and measurable indicators, the correct and scientific conduct of the technical preparation process becomes more accurate and localized. The gymnast BR had the best results in the National Championship within CSS 2 Bucharest, aged 11.6 years, H=145cm, W=37.8kg, 182cm height in handstand. Results Detailed knowledge of kinematic and dynamic characteristics of Tsukahara vault allow intervention of specialist in sports training objective, technical training by converting quantitative information of motion parameters in precise exercise instructions that mark the exercise basic methods. Conclusion By applying the quantitative analysis of video-technical training in gymnastics, especially in juniors, they made premises that technical training should be based on biomechanical recommendations, making the training objective scientific and implemented in practice
