Abstract
The biomechanical analysis of Acrobatic Gymnastics elements has not been extensively explored in scientific research to date. Due to the increased challenge of implementing experimental protocols and collecting data from multiple individuals, it is required to develop strategies that allow a safe, valid and reproducible methodology. This work aims to collect information and systematically analyze the biomechanical approach in Acrobatic Gymnastics to date. A search was conducted in the Web of Science, Scopus, EBSCO, PubMed and ISBS databases. After the selection and quality-control phases, fourteen documents were included. The results revealed that the biomechanical research in Acrobatics has been focused on balance evaluation, in which the force plate and the center of pressure are the most used instrument and variable, respectively. Research has been focused on kinetics evaluation. Kinematics analysis of pair/group elements would provide scientific answers to unresolved problems, considering that Gymnastics provides almost limitless possibilities to study human motion. Researchers should focus on the type of element, difficulty degree, main characteristics, relationship between the instrument and floor surface specificity and safety conditions. We encourage gymnastics clubs and coaches to establish networks with biomechanics laboratories, allowing to bridge the gap between research and practice.
杂技体操元素的生物力学分析至今在科学研究中还没有得到广泛的探讨。由于实施实验方案和从多个个体收集数据的挑战增加,需要制定允许安全,有效和可重复的方法的策略。本工作旨在收集资料,系统分析迄今为止杂技体操的生物力学方法。在Web of Science、Scopus、EBSCO、PubMed和ISBS数据库中进行了检索。经过选择和质量控制阶段,共纳入14份文件。结果表明,杂技的生物力学研究主要集中在平衡评价上,其中力板和压力中心分别是使用最多的仪器和变量。研究的重点是动力学评价。考虑到体操为研究人体运动提供了几乎无限的可能性,对/组元素的运动学分析将为尚未解决的问题提供科学的答案。研究人员应重点研究元件类型、难易程度、主要特性、仪器与地板表面的关系以及安全条件。我们鼓励体操俱乐部和教练与生物力学实验室建立联系,以弥合研究和实践之间的差距。
