Abstract

Abstract
This study addresses the analysis of biomechanical variables in kasamatsu straight with 720̊ on Vault, comparing the performance of Iraqi youth athletes with a global model. The angles of the trunk during the vault strike, the take-off angle, the angular velocity of the body, and the maximum height reached by the athlete during flight were measured CG. Iraqi youth gymnasts face challenges in executing kasamatsu straight with 720̊ on Vault according to global standards, which affects their competitive ability in international competitions. These factors directly influence the quality of technical performance and control during the jump, making it essential to study and analyze these variables and identify weakness points to improve performance based on modern biomechanical principles. The results showed significant differences between the research sample and the global model in these variables, indicating deficiencies in technique and muscle strength required for optimal performance. The study concluded that improving push-off techniques, angular velocity, and muscle strength is necessary to enhance the technical performance of Iraqi athletes and bring it closer to global standards.
