To increase height, she leaves the table at vertical.
Height is time.
BUT she still needs to generate enough rotation to get around.

FB Curves – next level?
The FB Curves apps for MAG and WAG are fantastic.
Animations astonishingly close to real.
Click PLAY or watch an example on YouTube.
What’s next?
I like the look of this recent upload. An even more realistic animation.

on SAFER Landings
Click through for the longer post.
Emily Bischoff:
… Teaching our athletes to land correctly is one thing coaches can control in terms of injury prevention, whether it be to lessen the load on tendons and ligaments to prevent overuse injuries, or to minimize the risk of fluke injuries …
… the force upon landing be dissipated throughout as much of the body as much as possible …
… feet around shoulder width apart, which widens the base of support over which force is exerted. Knees should be in flexion (bent), tracking over the toes …
Promoting Safety in Gymnastics: Landings
Kohei – 2014 Floor
I’d argue Kohei Uchimura singled handedly reinvented how male gymnasts land.
Easily the best in the world in his prime, many emulated Kohei’s exaggerated technique.
I love it as he turned the science of safely reducing huge impact forces to zero into an art form.
At the same time WAG was foolishly deducting low chest position. Dangerous!
Of his many stuck routines over many years, Blythe chose this as one of her decade-defining routines.

The human body is not a stick. It’s more like a ruler.

These simple examples are useful for biomechanics analysis. Contact angles, etc.

For me several available iPads in the Gym work great. Favourite the videos you want to keep for later.
