Physics 212 (section 01)
| A Physics Interpretation of the Front Handspring Vault |
| Gymnastics
is a sport that has been around since before the first
set of Olympics. The early Romans and Greeks practiced
forms of gymnastics to obtain flexibility and physical
fitness. The physics of gymnastics are dependent on the
maneuvers being preformed and the person who is
performing. Our project focuses on a handspring vault
with a front somersault. In this examination 3 series of
moves were studied: preflight, takeoff, and postflight.
