Aerial movement
Twisting somersaults comprise the main elements of artistic gymnastics,
tumbling, trampolining, diving, and freestyle aerial skiing. Research
on twisting has used computer simulation to determine the extent to which
various techniques are capable of producing twist and the contributions
made by such techniques to actual performances. The ability to control
twist by means of
in-flight corrections has been investigated by adding
control systems with feedback time delays to the simulation model.
