Trampolining
Trampolining is a sport that includes the following sports disciplines:
Individual jumps
Included in the Olympic Games program since 2000
Individual trampoline jumping is an exercise consisting of 10 elements in each exercise. The elements are performed during high, continuous rhythmic jumps with rotations from feet to feet, from feet to back, belly or in the saddle without delays or intermediate straight jumps. The trampoline exercise should demonstrate a variety of elements with forward and backward rotation with and without pirouettes. The exercise should be performed with good coordination, body postures, technique, and maintaining the height of the jumps. Competitions for adult athletes, as a rule, take place in 3 stages: preliminary competitions, which consist of a mandatory exercise (in which the score consists of an assessment for technique, flight time and difficulty coefficient of 2 out of 10 elements that are not repeated in an arbitrary exercise) and an arbitrary exercise (in which the score consists of an assessment for performance technique, flight time and difficulty coefficient of all 10 elements); semi-final and final competitions, which consist of only one free exercise.
Synchronized jumping
Synchronized jumping competitions are held between synchronized pairs that consist of 2 men or 2 women (male and female pairs compete separately). An athlete can only compete in one synchronized pair. Synchronized jumping competitions consist of 2 free exercises in the preliminary competitions and 1 free exercise in the final competitions. Partners should perform the same elements at the same time (they should not be more than half an element ahead of their partner) and start the exercise facing one way. There is no need to perform one-way screw rotations.
Acrobatic track
Acrobatic track jumping competitions consist of 2 free exercises in the preliminary competitions and 2 free exercises in the final competitions with 8 elements in each exercise. Acrobatic track jumps are characterized by performing jumps with rotation rhythmically from hands to feet and from feet to feet at a constant speed without stops and intermediate steps. An acrobatic combination can include a series of jumps with front, back and side rotation.
Double mini springboard
The first appearance of double minitramp jumping, as well as competitions among age groups, was in 1970 at Picketts Castle in London.
History
At first, it was an insurance system used by trapeze artists, which was invented by engineer George NISSEN (USA), back in the 1930s. A professor of physical education, a champion in diving and acrobatic jumping, built the first prototype trampoline in his garage by attaching a piece of canvas to a hinged metal structure using elastic harnesses. The word “Trampoline” is derived from the words “trampling” and “board”. For a long time, the word “trampolining” has been used (literally, “trampolining”) and, finally, “trampoline” (“trampoline” or “trampoline jumping”).
Initially, the discipline was used as a game method of improving and improving the physical and mental condition of athletes. This especially improves the ability to control the body in space. In gymnastics, it was the seventh projectile, as it was used as the main educational tool. Success in the United States of America was very rapid. In 1948, the first U.S. National Championship was held.
In 1955, Trampoline made its way to the Pan American Games and, finally, to Europe through the Swiss pioneer Kurt Becher, who lived until 2003. Another great pioneer who was one of the founders of the sport was Ted Blake from Great Britain. Scotland was the first country in Europe to establish its own National Federation, and this happened in 1958.
On March 4, 1964, the International Trampoline Federation (FIT) was established in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Rene Chare (Swiss) was elected President, and Erich Kinzel was elected Secretary General. On March 21 of the same year, the first World Championship was held at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Judy Wills and Dan Milman (USA) are the first world champions in trampoline jumping. The program consisted of trampolining and acrobatic jumps for both men and women.
The first appearance of double minitramp jumping, as well as competitions among age groups, was in 1970 at Picketts Castle in London.
The popularity of trampolining was growing at an explosive rate! In 1985, the discipline was included in the program of the World Games in London.
In 1988, FIT was recognized by the International Olympic Committee. Trampolining at this time began to be considered as a candidate for inclusion in the Olympic Games, which created fundamental changes in our sport. FIT was terminated on January 1, 1999 and trampolining became a discipline of FIG (International Gymnastics Federation). Former FIT President Ron Froehlich (USA) becomes a member of the FIG Executive Committee, and German Horst Kunze retains the post of President of the FIG Trampoline Technical Committee. On September 22, 2000, at 20:40, these two men were honored to present to the first Olympic medals in the history of trampoline jumping Russians Irina Karavaeva and Alexander Moskalenko, whose victory in the Sydney Superdome was also observed by George Nissen, later presented during the celebration of the FIG to the podium and received true recognition as the creator of the trampoline.
Trampolining (both individual and synchronized) is a sport created for the elite. This is a sport that provides freedom in flight and space. Numerous and complex jumps and elements performed at an altitude of approximately 8 meters require technical skill, excellent body control and harmony of movements. For all types of training containing acrobatic elements, the trampoline is used as the main tool in each of the gymnastic disciplines. At its core, trampolining is an exciting sport that embodies bravery, elegance, courage and youth.
Acrobatic jumps (jumping on an acrobatic track or AKD). Acrobatic jumps are characterized by a complex of fast and rhythmic sequential acrobatic jumps from hands to feet, from feet to hands and directly from feet to feet for about 6 seconds and on an acrobatic track 25 meters long with a landing on the mat.
Acrobatic jumping is a beautiful sport that presents the viewer with exciting elements that take place at great speed with a crazy rhythm and numerous rotations. An amazing cocktail of controlled virtuosity and energy.
Double minitramp (double minitramp jumping or DMT) is a discipline that originates from the minitramp. DMT allows for more acrobatics. From a run-up, the gymnast performs a charge on the projectile, performs an element on it, followed by the execution of the element with a landing on the mat. The strongest gymnasts perform double and triple somersaults with turns.
Trampoline jumping is still in the development stage and is gaining new points every year on the international sports arena. In December 2004, for the first time in its history, the discipline organized its World Cup final on the African Continent in Algeria.
