The biomechanics of twisting somersaults. Part II: contact twist

A simulation model and a rigid body model are used to investigate twisting initiated during the takeoff or contact phase. It is shown that it is possible to produce a full twist solely by building up angular momentum in the arms during the contact phase. This method is only half as effective as buil...
