Relationship of Selected Kinematic Varibales with the Performance of Forward Turn Over on Balance Beam in Gymnastics
Dr. Amar Kumar, Shalu Rathi
Abstract: Gymnasts are expected to demonstrate with beauty and flair. They should keep their body in the perfect position. Performance on beam started with mount and dismount considered to be as salto. This study aim was to find out the relationship between selected kinematic variables with the performance of forward turn over on balance beam in women artistic gymnastics. Five female gymnasts of Lakshmibai National Institute of physical education, Gwalior from the gymnastics match practice group, who had a good command in the particular skill (forward turn over on balance beam), were selected as the subject for the present study. . The video camera was placed perpendicularly at centre in the line of inner bar and parallel to the sagittal plane at a distance of 6mts and height of 2.10mt. Performance were evaluated by three judges on set criteria. Pearson product moment correlation was applied at 0.05 level of significance. There was a significant correlation between the angle at hip and the forward turn over performance of the gymnasts at landing phase only. The radius of rotation is likely to increase because increase in moment of inertia(I) which results decrease in angular velocity and helps the body to remain in linear velocity at landing phase as late as possible.
