Kinematic and muscular strategies of the lower back during backward somersault landing in gymnastics
Résumé
The purpose of this study was to investigate the kinematics and muscle activity of the lower limbs and lumbar spine during the landing of a jump in female gymnasts. Sixteen adult gymnasts performed round-offs followed by a back somersault. Lumbar, hip, and knee joint angles at peak GRF and EMG activity of 4 lumbar spine muscles were recorded. The study reveals a large heterogeneity in the kinematic and muscular strategies used by the
gymnasts. A more detailed investigation is required to gain a better understanding of the motor behaviors observed, with a view to potentially improving individualized monitoring during the season and reducing the incidence of injury.
