ABSTRACT:
The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between the linear kinematic and angular kinematic analysis of backsalto in gymnastics. Total six gymnasts were selected as a sample: Punjabi University, Patiala male gymnasts who had represented at All India Inter University Championship level were selected as a sample on the basis of performance in preceding competition. The age of all the subjects will be ranged above 19 to 25 years. The linear kinematic variables height of center of gravity at the initial phase, height of center of the gravity at the approach phase, height of center of the gravity at the takeoff phase, height of center of gravity at the flight phase, height of center of gravity at the landing phase, time of execution (time taken during complete movements), total horizontal displacement covered on floor and angular kinematic variables angle of left shoulder joint, angle of left hip joint, angle of left knee joint at the time of gymnast perform backsalto on floor. The kinematic analysis of gymnast performance Kinovea Software through and Karl Pearson’s product moment coefficient correlation were employed with the help of statistical package of SPSS. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The outcome of the study shows that significant relationship with performance (.878) of gymnast in all variables.
