    Biomechanical Analysis of A Backhandspring and Backtuck

    Uploaded by

    Christy Jeffery
    The document discusses various gymnastics moves including back handsprings and back tucks. It describes the phases and muscles used in each move. Back handsprings involve rotating backwards from an upright position into a handstand and pushing off the hands and floor to return to upright. Back tucks involve completing a full rotation in the air with the hips passing over the head without hands touching the floor, with the legs together and bent. The core muscles like abdominals and back muscles work together with the legs and arms to execute the moves.

    Back handspring: an acrobatic move in which a person executes a complete revolution of the body by lunging headfirst from an upright position into a handstand and then pushing off (i.e., "springing") from the floor with the hands so as to leap back to an upright position. Back tuck: Gymnastics flips are acrobatic moves in which a person executes a complete rotation of the body while in mid air, with hips passing over the head, without hands touching the floor.

    TUCK: legs together, with knees fully bent and drawn to the chest.
