Abstract

We analyzed connecting technique between two performances in Flop movement on a pommel horse, based on the experimental data obtained from a motion capture system. Examining the movement of center of gravity during transition from one performance to another, we obtained the following results: (1) In the case of single hand support, it is important to attain dynamic stability of center of gravity by controlling a swinging movement of a right arm as a right wrist being its fixed support point. (2) In the case of double hands support, body bending motion by an advanced shoulder movement in circular direction, and the following reverse body bending motion by a hip is a typical feature. Double hands support motion is important because this successive motion seems to assure the following one hand support movement.
