Abstract
Circles on pommel horse are analysed from the dynamics and biomechanics point of view in this paper. There are few studies on the dynamics or the biomechanics of the circles on the pommel horses that gives insight to the training. We measure the circles on the pommel horse with an optical motion capture system, force plates and electromyograph. The whole-body detailed musculoskeletal model is applied for the kinematics and dynamics computation of the motion. The process of estimating the muscle tensions during the circles computes the kinematics and dynamics characteristics of the motion. We plot these characteristics and analyse them with comparing with the physiological data from the biomechanical point of view.
