Tsuchiya Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies gymnastics skills through mechanics and applies the findings to coaching.
AboutAbout the lab
Explaining how skills work, through mechanics.
The Tsuchiya Lab studies how movements in sport work, from the standpoint of sport movement science.
Focusing on gymnastics skills, the lab measures the movements of different parts of the body and investigates how rotation and takeoff are generated.
The lab applies what it learns to ways of coaching athletes to acquire skills.
Key terms
- Sport movement science
- A field that studies the form and structure of movements in sport as technique
- Biomechanics
- A method of measuring and explaining body movement using mechanical concepts such as force and speed
- Angular momentum
- A quantity that expresses the momentum of a rotating object; used to explain how a somersault rotates
ResearchResearch themes
The lab measures movements in gymnastics and other sports using biomechanical methods, and clarifies how skills are put together. It applies the findings to coaching that helps athletes acquire skills.
*Illustrative imageMechanics of gymnastics skills
The lab analyzes skills such as the round-off and back somersault on floor exercise, and investigates where the angular momentum that underlies rotation is generated and how it changes when one skill is linked to the next.
*Illustrative imageCoaching that supports skill acquisition
Based on the movement characteristics found in the analyses, the lab documents as case studies the process by which athletes master difficult skills, and examines how to coach them.
