KINEMATICS ANALYSIS ON HANDSPRING SIDEWAYS STRETCHED SIDEWARD SOMERSAULT WITH 1 3/4 TURNS IN HORSE-VAULTING OF ZEPENG LUO

Abstract

By using the 3D video analysis method, we have tested on the handspring sideways stretched side-ward somersault with 1 3/4 turns in Horse-vaulting (also known as Kasamatsu 360°) of Chinese elite athletes Zepeng Luo at the game site; obtain the relevant kinematics’ parameters through analysis on the complete movement. The results show that: Zepeng Luo completed this action with high quality and advanced technology, but at the first flight, his legs were not fully close together.
