How else can we use this information?

This biomechanical information can be used to determine how to coach a gymnast to perform a round off back somersault with the correct technique. You can also use this information for other floor tumbling lines that involve a lot more tumbles and turns. To perform these you will need even more speed, acceleration and momentum to complete all tumbles successfully. Newton’s Laws can apply to all other gymnastics apparatus like the balance beam, parallel bars, uneven bars, rings and vault. We need to use the force of the earth or other objects to receive an equal or opposite force to gain height to perform gymnastics skills. This information needs to be considered by all gymnasts to perform skills successfully. Other factors like equipment and environment can change the outcome of the skills, especially if a spring floor is used during a tumbling line or round off back somersault because it bounces back when you add force to it therefore not as much force is needed to gain the right amount of height to execute the skill.
