Kinematic characteristics of flight toss movements in acrobatic rock and roll

The purpose of the study is to specify the kinematic characteristics of the technique of the element "Flight Toss" in acrobatic rock 'n' roll. Research methods and organization. The following research methods were applied to achieve the objective: analysis of specialized literature and program documents, a method of contactless analysis of motion video sequences, and methods of mathematical statistics. In the first stage, the research methodology was determined. In the second stage, biomechanical studies were conducted aimed at recording the kinematic characteristics of the "Flight Toss" element technique using the Kinovea program for 10 pairs of athletes from the "Leader" club in St. Petersburg, competing in the "Formation Mix" category (men and women). Research results. In the course of the mathematical and statistical analysis of recorded kinematic indicators, the intersegmental joint angles of the body and the temporal parameters of the phases of the technical element "Flight Toss" were specified, which are characteristic of the qualitative execution of the motor program by highly skilled acrobatic rock-and-roll athletes.
