214003 - Rotation directions in trampoline gymnastics: observe, identify and set
In Trampolining - as in most other compositional sports - a twisting direction is determined quite early on, although the athletes have not yet gained much experience in overhead movements. This decision is usually made by the coach or left to the athletes themselves. But what is behind this?
Behind someone becoming a so-called "right-hand twister" or "left-hand twister"? This workshop takes critical look at the common "rules of thumb" for determining the direction of twisting.
Gymnasts taking part in the workshop should be able to swing up into a handstand, roll backwards, perform a safe forward handspring and optionally a forward somersault with 1/2 twist on the Minitramp.
