A Discussion on the Improvement of Artistic Gymnastics Biomechanics Experiment Quality with Triangulation

[[abstract]]三角量測法是運用多種方法來整合及檢視實驗過程及數據資料，從實驗前的設計及參與人員的規劃與安排，再到參與者完成實驗後資料處理的方式等，如能妥善運用此量測法應能有效提昇實驗資料的準確性。透過本文探討內容中得知，從事競技體操生物力學實驗時可透過聘請專業競技體操教練或裁判人員共同觀察受試者的動作表現，並請參與者提供實施動作時的感覺作為篩選分析動作的參考依據。運用多種實驗儀器同時檢測較能完整掌握參與者的整體動作表現，經由不同的參數或計算公式來共同檢視實驗資料，並使用適當的人體肢段參數可確立資料的正確性，透過相關運動生物力學基礎理論可用來探討競技體操動作表現的優劣及穩定性。從本文內容中得知，從事競技體操生物力學實驗時，妥善運用三角測量法能提升實驗過程的嚴謹度，亦有助益於較精確掌握實驗數據資料。 The process of triangulation involves the use of multiple methods for the integration and inspection of an experimental process and relevant statistics/data. Encompassing factors include such things as pre-experimental design, personnel planning and arrangement, chosen method of post-experimental data processing performed by the experimenters and so forth. Appropriate use of the process should lead to effective improvement in the precision of experimental data. The discussions featured in the study suggested that experimenters involved in artistic gymnastics biomechanics experiments could enlist the assistance of qualified coaches or judges to observe the physical movements performed by the subjects while requesting the participants to provide descriptions of their feelings while executing specific moves as the reference for the selection/analysis of specific movements. The simultaneous use of multiple experimental apparatus for inspection would offer more thorough capturing of the participants overall movements and could therefore ensure data accuracy through incorporation of relevant parameters/equations along with suitable body segmental parameters. With relevant sports biomechanics fundamental theories, one could use the data to discuss the quality and stability of specific artistic gymnastic movements. This paper also established that as far as artistic gymnastic biomechanics experiments are concerned, appropriate use of triangulation would not only improve the validity of the experimental process but also ensure greater accuracy in the experimental data
