Front Handspring
A handspring is an acrobatic move in which a person executes a complete revolution of the body by lunging headfirst from an upright position into an inverted vertical position and then pushing off (i.e., "springing") from the floor with the hands so as to leap back to an upright position. The direction of body rotation in a handspring may be either forward or backward, and either kind may be performed from a stationary standing position or while in motion. Body movement may be terminated upon completion of a handspring, or the performer's momentum may be leveraged so as to immediately perform another handspring or other rotational move. Handsprings are performed in various physical activities, including acro dance, cheerleading and gymnastics. In competitive activities, handsprings may be judged on a number of criteria. Description A handspring is an acrobatic move in which a person executes a complete revolution of the body by lunging headfirst from an upright position into an ...

Somersault
A somersault (also ''flip'', ''heli'', and in gymnastics ''salto'') is an acrobatic exercise in which a person's body rotates 360° around a horizontal axis with the feet passing over the head. A somersault can be performed forwards, backwards or sideways and can be executed in the air or on the ground. When performed on the ground, it is typically called a roll. Types Body positions Somersault may be performed with different positions, including tucked, piked (bent at the hips), straddled, and layout (straight body). Direction The sport of tumbling does not require participants to combine both front and back elements, and most tumblers prefer back tumbling as it is easier to build momentum. Arabian saltos begin backwards, continue with a half twist to forwards, and end with one or more saltos forwards. They can be trained by beginning with an Arabian dive roll and adding a front salto to it. They are counted as front tumbling in women's artistic gymnastics and back tum ...

Handspring Double Salto Forward Tucked
The handspring double salto forward tucked, known as a Produnova in women's artistic gymnastics and a Roche in men's artistic gymnastics, is a Vault (gymnastics), vault consisting of a front handspring onto the vaulting horse and two front somersaults in a tucked position off it. MAG The first person to complete the vault was Cuban gymnast Jorge Roche in 1980. 23 Roche vaults were performed during the 2000 Summer Olympics. By 2010, male gymnasts have developed more difficult variations by performing it piked or with twists. WAG Under the 2017–2020 Code of Points (artistic gymnastics) for WAG, the vault has a D-score of 6.4, and is considered one of the hardest vaults ever performed in women's Artistic Gymnastics, artistic gymnastics. It currently ties for the highest D-score on this apparatus with the Biles vault. It is named after Yelena Produnova of Russia, who was the first woman to complete it successfully in 1999. Produnova's coach, Leonid Arkayev, bet her that she could ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
