 | | The described physics involved in these gymnastics skills are somewhat simplified, for the movement of the human body encompasses other specific forces, particularly those studied in the field of biomechanics. |
 | | For a better understanding of the physics of theses skills, here is a brief discription of the forces involved in muscle contraction as discribed by William L. Cornelius, Ph.D in a 1997 issue of Technique (Vol.17, No.1), a gymnastics magazine: |
 | | Internal Muscular Force Muscular strength is considered to be the ability to do work against resistance or the capacity to exert force Arnheim and Prentice, 1993) and is derived through muscle tension produced during muscle contraction. |
