- Title
NEW WAY OF DETERMINING HORIZONTAL DISPLACEMENT IN COMPETITIVE TRAMPOLINING.

- Abstract
The assessment criteria for competitive trampolining, which is primarily both a technical and a compositional form of sport, have been extended by the addition of some objectively measurable parameters in recent years. In addition to the degree of difficulty and the movement execution score, which is often perceived as subjective, the actual "time of flight" for the athlete was introduced as an objective (performance) criterion. Beyond this, it is proposed that, in the future, the athlete's position should be recorded during the routines in the form of a series of positional profiles and that this information should be introduced as a further scoring criterion for "horizontal displacement" in the next Olympic cycle. Using a self-developed measuring system for determining both parameters (time of flight and positioning), the resulting possibilities for controlling training and performance, as well as the options for further development of the competition system or the sport of trampolining itself are described here.
