The biomechanical determinants of post-flight performance in side-horse vaulting
thesis
posted on 2018-05-22, 07:55 authored by Julie A. DraperIn an attempt to determine the interaction of the three phases
of a vault with a view to predicting post-flight performance from
properties of pre-flight and contact behaviour, six
highly-skilled subjects were filmed and their contact forces
simultaneously monitored while performing the layout squat, handspring
and Yamashita vaults. To provide an objective criterion of performance
a rating for each vault was derived based on height and distance of the
post-flight of the vaults. [Continues.]
