I'. No single technical andlor meehanical prernises to dec{de the successful performance
were found. The execusion in one of the prernises, such as pteceding run, kick and
hand-push would be compensated in other premises, and hence, the total performance
weuld not be ruled by one.
2. Satisfaetory speed in preceding run to be carried over to kicking action and smoothness
in the last step of the run vv'ould provide effective pre-fLight.
,', Sharp kick and hand-push actions with short duration of time would provide effective
pre- and post-flights, respectively.
4. The kicking for take-off is generally directed to down-backward, while the hand-push, to down-forward.
5. Forward rotartory move of the trunk in rotatory vaulting stunts is generally produced
by fast preceding run follewed by a down-backward klck, while the center of grayity
trajectory would not be so different between rotatory and non-rotatory stunts.
6. In the case of non-rotatory stunts, the trunk starts to rotate forward in the first half
of the performance, though such rotation is reversed in the latter half, by wiggling
the hips and up-lifting swinging of the arms.
1. Introductio"
Human movement is so versatile that a movement performed by a person at a time may
'i・r},
from any other movements he has ever made before, Yet it is such specific at certain
phases of skillful aetivities that established ski{ls and habits, are diffieult to be changed.
Analysis of skillful body movements, for this reason, may constitute analysis of the skM
it3elf. '
Mechanical analysis of body movents may be attempted for merely a scientific interest,
hut also for finding certain suggestions fer skill instruction. As a matter of fact, a few
[・,:umptes of studies, the results of which may be used as useful suggestions for instructional
t-?L'hniques, have been reported in variety of sports. However, instructional andlor coaching
Euggestions for horse vaulting stunts in gymnestics, for exampte, have been more frequentiy
provided from intuitional considerations by instructors and eoaches than from results of
.htientific studies.
Certainl.v a performance is usually given by a gyrnnast who is not necessarily always
concerned about the mechanics of the skill, rather he performs as a whole person to whom
c,th/-r suggestions from psychological and phys{erogicat viewpoints may be also necessary.
X,'et,
certa{n mechanical considerations should provide opportunities to improve some aspects
ofthe perforrnancet'tO). For this reason, mechanical studies of various physical skills, forthe
purpose of finding ¢ ertain general mechanicai principles which govelrn the skill and ef pro・
v!'ding useful suggestions to improve perforrnances, should be conducted more frequently7)8).
Thus, in this study, certain side-horse vaulting stunts in gyrnnastics are taken into movie
t'ilms for the purpose of mechanical analysis so that useful suggestions for improvement of
p?rt'ormances and teach{ng techniques may be provided

Purpose ef the Study
The purpose of the study then is to analyze the mechanics of certain side-horse vaulting
stunts in gymnastics by applying previously established experimental technique of cinemato-
graphical analysis, so that the sequential body movement throughout each of the stunts and
the specific charactaristcs of the stunts may be explained by use of certain parameters, such
as quality and quantity of ferce invelved in various phases of each performance made by
certain novice and advanced college gymnasts. Accumulation of such study results may be
expected to make contributions tewards more therough understanding in variety of human
rnovernents involving certain skills.
2 Methodelogy
In order to analyze the mechanics of certain side-vaulting stunts in gymnasties, the
processes of (1) stoop vault (SV-INSV-7), (2) handspring vault (HS-1--HS6) and (3) frontsomersault vault (YV-1 and YV-2) were selected for cinematographical analysis.
2. 1. Subjects
Ten college gymnasts majoring in health and physical education at Tokyo Gakugei
Unfversity, two rnales and eight females, whose carrier length in this sport ranged betweenthree and six years, volunteered as subjeets, The reason why experienced gymnasts were
exclusively used for the experiment was because for beginners these stunts are rather
difficult to perform.
During the performance, the female subjects wore tightly fitted gymastic uniform and
the rnale, shorts, for the benefitof the picture'analysis to take place later. Further, certain
landmarks of the body, such as wrist, knee and ankle of the camera side of each subject
were taped for the same reason.
The subjects warmed up thernselves properly to the peint at which they would be on
the top level physical condition for performance. The runway and vaulting board for the
approach of vaulting as well as mats at the landing area were provided as in the rnanner'a
competition would take place. The vaulting horse was placed sideways, with its height
being t20cm.
2. 2. Picture Taking Devices
Each performance to be analyzed was taken into 16mm high speed mevie films by use
of a camera, produced by Bolex Co., West Germany. Using a tripod, the camera was set at
an appropriate height, 120crn from the floor, and at a certain distance apart from the vaulting
horse in the transverse direction to the pathway of the performer to be fully able te catch
the perfermance within the camera view.
Fuji Neopan R 250 blaek-and-white positive filrn with its ASA being 250, each role
having 1oo feet of length, was used fer entire picture taking.
While the accurate shutter speed of each picture taking needs to be determined for this

be shown, provided the resultant drawing looks simple. For this /reason, drawings of
8 or 10 frames, with sorne exceptions when necessary, were combined in each perfor-
for analysis of sequential body movements.
3. Parameters
3. 1. Sequential Movement of Bedy Segrnents
Sagittal movements of certain landmarks of the body, such as the ear, shoulder, hip,
knee, ankle, elbow and wrist, all on the camera side of the subject, were traced in each
performance. Then combining any adjacent three !andrnarks, the sequential changes in angles
of extremities and trunk were also analyzed. Likewise, the changes in angle betvveen the
trunk and the vertieal line, which would indicate the process of body rotation, were recorded.
3. 2. Center of Grayity
The center of gravity of the body ef the performer was estimated in each frame of
drawing. The estimation of center of gravity in variety of eomplexed body position shown
on the course of performance was made by applying methods proposed by Matsui"), modified '
by the current investigator earlier5).
3. 3. Vector Analysis
Upon obtaining the sequential course of center.of gravity movement in each performance,
the velocity and acceleration of center of gravity rnovement at each moment rnay be obtained
when the time length for eaeh frame is taken into account. When the vertical distance -
between center of gravity positions at the moment of take-off and at the heighest point
during the pre-flight in a given vaulting performence is given, for instance, the vertical
component of initial veloeity for the pre-flight is, by applying Formula 2, determined. At
the same time, the horizontal velocity of a proje ¢ ted object is always constant, and hence,
the horizontal component of initial velocity for the same may be simply given, by app!ying
Formula 3. Substituting above values into Formula 4, the initial aerial velocity of the center
ef gravity and its arrgle of take-off rnay be ealculated. Likewise, the velocity and incidented
angle, right before the kicking action for take-off is taken, would be calculated.
Elements of the initial velocity that the center of gravity obtained right after the take-off,
when mechanieal consideration is given, should be the combining result of elements of
center of gravity movement right before the take-off and that ef kicking force which the
body, particularly the !ower extremities, applies to the vaulting board. It is indeed an
example of vector. Applying vector analysis procedure, the amount of kick at the take-off
(though the unit being velocity) may be ealeulated, using Formula 5.
After finding the amount of kick at the take-off, amount of acceleration, or the quantity
of shock that the center of gravity receives may be calculated by Formula 6, provided the
time Iength of take-off is given. Taking the hody weight of the subject and the gravity
force inte account, when using Formula 7, the amount of force the center of gravity

4. Results and Discussiens
4. 1. Analysis of Data
In this study, certain side-horse vaulting stunts in gymnastics were filmed for mechanical
analysis and the loci of body segments and those of ¢ enter of gravity were traced. In this
manner, general ¢ haracteristics of each stunt aad specific characteristics of each performance
may be clatified. Each frame of picture was darwn en sheets of paper, and these drawings,
when sequentially combined, provided body moves in the time course. Representing fifteen
sequentially combined pietures which were produced in this study, Figure 1 is presented,though in the figure, for qvoiding complexed drawings, onty drawings of every eight frames
are included. Heavy line in the figure represents the locus of center of gravity, which
appear to be consistent with mechanical principles.

course, are listed in Tables 1 and 2. While various vector elements involved in the kick
and hand-push in each performance are included in these Tables, such vector elements along
the loci of center of gravity were drawn on other sheets of paper. An examp!e of such
vector analysis is demonstrated in Figure 2,
The changes in joint angles at shoulder, hip and knee, ZS, .tH, ZK, respectively,
during the tirne course of performance, in which the extension position being marked as OO,
are demonstrated in Figure 3. Then, upon measuring the angle of the trunk with vertical
line in each drawing, the proce$s of body rotation was analyzed. In order to examine the
relationship between the angular ve!ocity of trunk, AV (degreelsec), and the body length
(maximurn distance between two furthest body segments), BL (cm), were compared also in
Figure 3.

The analytical procedure in this study included 7oo drawings, 15 sequential drawings,and 4,OOO parametric deta. Upon e)tEmining given figures and tables and obtained data,fellowing discussions may be made.
4. 2. General Discussion en Vaulting
General principles governing vaulting event may be numerically described when one
carefully examines the Tables 1 and Z Speed of approaching running, for e)tample, varies
so widely that the fastest runner (HS5) with 8mlsec velocity, or equivalent to 135 secl
1oom dash speed, shows more than twice as fast asa noviee girl vaulter (SV-5), who
actually made a significant preceding jump before the take-off action (incidenta1 angle being46 degrees). The case of SV-5 being an exception, the incidental angle, ranging between
O and 25 degrees, did not show strong relationship with the skill itself, while greater speed
of approaching running seemed to produce better performance.
The angle of backward body leaning, recorded as the angle between the level and the
line connecting the center of gravity and the toes at the moment of kick, was found not to
be necessarily consistent within an individual in different attempts, while all the recordings
stayed within ± 9 degrees. The actual kicking time length appeared to be slightly longer
than .100 second in each case, and the involved acceleration ranging between 2G and 7G,
both values seem to be somewhat similar to the cases of somersault in tumbling and floorf:xercise events, as to compare with the previous reports by the present investigator3)D5).
The direction of kick varied between 78 -v 135 degrees (zero degree being straight forward
at the level, and 90 degree, exactly downward), though generally, prevalent tendency was
to kick slightly down-backward.
The amount of force exerted during the hand-push action within a tirne length of
slightly less than .200 seconds appear to be nearly half of that in kicking. The difference
in time length between kicking and hand-push and the differences in the velocities in
preceding body moves may be two major factors for this tendency. The hand-push was
gL・nerally directed to down-forward, (angle less than 90 degrees). Certainly in no cases it
was directed to down-backward in the squat vault. Only exception to this principle was the
front somersault vault (YV-1 and 2) which requires rather fast body rotation, using the
oppasite reaction of the hand-push.
As the kiek was directed forward, the amount of force involved in kieking inereases,
while this direction is not likely to be the only influential element on the seale of the first
projectile. When the velocity of preeeding run is larger and the kick is directed down-
backward, forward body rotation may well be provided and the projectile may become rather low
and forceful. In contrast, when the running speed is slovv and kick is directed down-forward,
forward rotation is provided and the projectile may become short and high. It seerns, no
single factor deterrnines the total performance, rather, each element probably interact each
other to produce the total perfermance. In other words, there is no definite ideal type ef
kick, projectile, hand-push, or landing, but rather, only inbalanced mechanical distribution
would cause a poor performance. Example of such poor perforrnances are seen in HS-2, 3

and 4 in which time lengths of hand-push were particularly long, resulting in extrernely
small amount of acceleration in hand-push and in poor post f!ight, or second projectile.
The initial flight angle ef the center of the gravity during the pre-flight ranged between
21.0 and 45.6 degrees and the initial velocity of the sarne, 5.4 and 11.6mlsec. The kinds of
vaulting stunt (whether rotatory er not) did not affect the scale of such parameters. The
center of gravity trajectory durlng the preceding run-kick-pre-flight, does not vary
according to the vaulting stunt, though in the case of leng-herse vault (in contrast to the
current method, side-horse vault), the result may be different. However, certain differences
were observed in the rotational movements of the trunk and the lower limbs between the
rotatory and non-rotatory stunts. For example, upon examining figures (not presented here
exeept SV-4 due to the limited availability of space) to show the process of trunk rotation
during the time course of each performance, it was neticed that in the non-rotatory vaults,
certain wiggling actions at the hips are taken during the post-flight in an attempt to recover
from the already-leant-front trunk before the landing.
The initial flight angle of the center of gravity during the post-flight ranged between
15.1 and 48.8 degrees and the initial velocity of the sarne, 3.2 and 9.8 mlsec. These values
are slightly smaller than the case of the pre-flight. In general, a sharp hand-push with
short time length of hand-placing resulted in large scaled post-flight, and hence, judged to
be a

4. 4. Coaching Suggestions
Within the limitation of the experiment taken here in the present study, it seerns that
no single mechanical elements overwhelmingly rule the success of a performance, because
variety of elements interaet each other. However, ¢ ertain instructional and coaching
suggestions may be made from the diseussions presented above.
In general, it was understood that the kick and hand-push actions in each performance
may be contrelled in relation with the preceding run and body rotation. However, a powerful
preceding run may be the key for producing an effective kick. The last step of the prece-
ding run before the kicking should net be a jump with a large vertical element, but rather,
it should be of sliding type. A sharp kick, which may result in great kieking acceleration,
rnay well be advantageou$. for an effective pre-flight. The directien of kick should be
deterrnined according to the kind of vault (rotatory or not), L e., provided the center of gravity
trajectory being the same, kicking down-backward would produce more body rotation. When
provided that same body rotation is kept, kicking down-forward would produce greater height
in pre-flight trajectory of the center of gravity.
Regarding the angle of hand-push, down-forward hand-push seem to be necessary for
non-rotatory vaults, in contrast to slightly down-backward for rotatory vaults. A sharp hand-
push, which may result in great hand-push acceleration, rnay be advantageous for an effec-
tive post-flight.
Teachers and coaches, when instructing vaulting events, may utMze such suggestions as
rnentioned above, because any bodily performance has certain aspects for mechanical consi-
derations and the performers may be benefitted by such information.
5. Summsry
Certain side-horse vaulting stunts in gymnastics were mechanically analyzed to find
principles governing each stunt and to provide certain suggestions for skill improvement.
That no single mechanical elements overwhelmingly rure the success of a performance and
that the ideal performance may be sought after accumulating similar efforts were among
the findings.
