The Position And Movement Of The Human Head And Its Relationship To Stability In Artistic Gymnastics

Transcript

Given the Human Head contains the majority of the sensory organs that deal with body orientation and postural control, it is hypothesised that by controlling head movements more effective skill analysis could be established within Artistic Gymnastics. Examining basic anatomy, scientific research and Gymnastics related principles, an understanding of how head movement could provide coaches and gymnasts with an opportunity for greater understanding of what creates performance stability and nonvariability. The hope is that the reader gains a better appreciation for the role human head movement plays in gymnastics performance and how focusing on it could provide better skill analysis results.
