The Complex Analysis of Movement in the Evaluation of theBackward Somersault Performance

Abstract

Complex methodology was applied to study a movement structure in the standing back tuck somersault(SBTS). We have checked the usefulness of the multi-modular measuring system (SMART-E, BTS,Company, Italy) consisting of six infrared cameras, and the wireless module Pocket EMG, formeasuring muscle bioelectric activity and force plate (AMTI, USA). Software Smart Analyser was usedto create a database allowing the chosen parameters to be compared. Using a comprehensivemethodology in the studies of the back somersault, performed with the landing at the same place (salto –S), allows for the presentation of the external and internal structure of the movement of this exercise.
