Comparison of Performance of Circles and Their Relevant Techniques on a Pommel Horse, and Its Evaluation Method

Abstract

In order to evaluate a double-leg circle, we focused on the relation between the body rotation and the hip rotation and proposed the evaluation diagram to see the synchronization of these two rotations by analyzing the data acquired with a motion capture system in a previous paper. In this paper, we applied this method to evaluate the performances of the skills of Moore and loop. As a result, it is revealed that this diagram also is useful for evaluating these skills. It is shown that the double-leg circle is important as a fundamental skill in applying a similar criterion to the evaluations of different skills of circling performances on a pommel horse.
