摘要:The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of selected kinematic variables with the performance of upstart (kip) on horizontal in men’s artistic gymnastics. A total of five (n = 5) best male gymnasts of 18 to 23 years old from L.N.I.P.E., Gwalior (M.P.) were selected for the present study as subjects. To acquire kinematical data, a digital Nikon D-3100 video recording camera with a frame rate of 30 frames per second, were used during the execution by placing it left side of horizontal bar and perpendicular to the sagittal plane. From the video, the photograph of selected four phases (i.e. initial swinging phase, pike phase, kicking & pulling up phase, and support phase) were obtained by using snipping tool software. Joint Point Method was used in order to obtain the values of selected angular kinematic variables by developing stick figure. Height of Center of Gravity was calculated by segmentation method suggested by Hay in 1993. To determine the degree of relationship between selected kinematic variables (linear and angular) with the upstart (kip) performance of gymnasts on high bar, Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation technique was used. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The results revealed that all selected linear and angular kinematic variables at all the phase had shown insignificant relationship (r
