Comparison of Trampoline Gymnastics Athletes' Performance and Normative Data of Tokyo Olympic Games

Aim: It was aimed to compare the performances of athletes competing in the Trampoline Gymnastics branch at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and to create normative data. Methods: In the study, the scores obtained by 16 male and 16 female athletes in the final and qualifying competitions were evaluated by using document analysis method, one of the secondary data collection techniques. Mann Whitney U test was used to determine the differences between the difficulty, execution, horizontal displacement, time of flight and total scores used in the evaluation of the performance. In addition, the scores obtained in the competition were first converted into Z-scores and then T-score equivalents were determined and norms of the data were created by defining qualitative descriptions ranging from extremely poor to excellent for performance ranges. Results: When the scores in the first series in the qualification competition were compared, statistically significant differences were found between the difficulty, execution, time of flight and total scores (p0.05). In the final competition, statistically significant differences were found between the difficulty and time of flight scores and total scores (p
