Biomechanical Characteristics of Transfer in the Rotational Movements on Uneven Bars

Abstract:

This paper tries to highlight some biomechanical characteristics of the transfer in the rotational movements on uneven bars in women’s artistic gymnastics. This scientific approach led to a study conducted during the Masters National Championships from 16^th to 18^th of October 2012, in ”Nadia Comaneci” Polyvalent Hall of Onești. The study involved 7 gymnasts belonging to junior training team of Deva, aged 12 to 15. The following methods have been used in this research: method of bibliographic study, method of pedagogical observation, method of biomechanical video analysis using Kinovea and Physics Toolkit programs, experiment method, statistical method (KyPlot) and the method of graphical representation (Excel). The analysis of difficulty values of the technical elements on uneven bars as per the Code of Points emphasizes the dynamics of the vertical and horizontal transfer, depending on the category / type of the movement and the difficulty group. The results of the study highlights how the transfer is made throughout the routines on uneven bars in terms of kinematics and dynamic characteristics of the key elements of sports technique during the rotational movements. The efficient use of the postural orientation method based on the biomechanical analysis of the rotational movements on uneven bars showed the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of the key elements of sports technique according to the performances achieved in competition.
