COMPARATIVE STUDY OF GIANT SWINGS BACKWARD ON THE PARALLEL BARS

Abstract

Comparative data between skilled and unskilled performances in order to examine mechanical determinants affecting the level of technical execution can arguably be beneficial to coaches and sport specialists. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to provide descriptive and comparative kinematic data on giant swings backward on the parallel bars judged by internationally qualified judges as been more or less skillful. Video data was collected utilizing a 60 Hz video camera. Fourteen giant swings were studied. Results showed no significant differences between motion patterns of parallel bars giant swings backwards receiving—on a scale from 0 to 1.0—more than 0.2 (unskilled) and less than 0.2 (skilled) deductions by internationally qualified judges. However, overall data trends and comparison of the two giants receiving the most and least deductions showed that different joint motion patterns might exist.Primerjalna analiza med dobrimi in slabimi izvedbami veletoča nazaj na bradlji je želela ugotoviti mehanske zakonitosti, ki določajo stopnjo tehnične izvedbe in ki bi lahko pomagale trenerjem in telovadcem. Narejeni sta bili opisna in primerjalna statistika na osnovi kinematičnih podatkov veletoča nazaj na bradlji in ocenami izvedba mednarodnih sodnikov. Kinematična analiza je bila narejena na osnovi video zajema podatkov s hitrostjo 60 slik na sekundo. Štirinajst veletočev nazaj je bilo analiziranih . Rezultati niso pokazali značilnih razlik v gibalnem vzorcu veletoča med skupinami izvedb (slabe izvedbe odbitek več kot 0.2 točke in dobre manj). Trend razlik je bilo zaznati, vendar ni statistično značilen.
