| Description | Artistic gymnastic is a fight to overcome physical laws and biomechanical analysis is the key to prove the known or find new ways of solving the specific movement tasks. Biomechanics provides us with important information, depending on the point of view on the specific problem, from which the solution itself and data evaluation arises. The aim of the contribution is to introduce some questions in artistic gymnastics which were solved by our group in Czech gymnasts using biomechanical analysis. We did not intend to create a movement or technical model of certain exercise, but to provide specific information on controversial questions of coaches, teachers, functionaries and competitors. When solving the individual tasks we cooperated with gymnasts of Czech representation teams of different age groups. Selected components were kinematically analysed using mainly the system Simi motion containing high-frequency cameras and a corresponding software, for processing the video recordings within 2D kinematic analysis a system Dartfish was used. Some analyses were complemented with stabilometric measurements on Fitro Sway Check force plate and surface electromyography using Data Logger device by Mie. |
