The agenda was approved unanimously.
3.
Biomechanical presentation on off axis movements.
Professor F.Yeadon, Director of the National Gymnastics Research centre at
Loughborough University and his assistant Dr M.Hiley, gave valuable biomecanichal
information on «off-axis twists» movements.
This information allowed TC members to better analyze new elements and transitions.
They also aided in the presentation of a correct definition and minimum requirements for
new elements with twist which are not considered as somersaults: the body does not go
over 60° above parallel. This information «opens the door» for attractive elements that can
be performed in Aerobic Gymnastics
