Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate in terms of some variables the positional correlation of the press to handstand with eyes open and eyes closed in the right-left sagittal planes in artistic gymnasts. Correlation analysis was conducted to evaluate the data. According to the findings obtained from analysis in the right and left planes at 0°, a statistically significant correlation was observed both in the negative and positive direction. The analysis of the gymnasts’ press to handstand with eyes open and eyes closed, as measured in the right and left planes at 90°, revealed a statistically significant correlation both in the negative and positive direction. Likewise, the analysis of the gymnasts’ press to handstand with eyes open and eyes closed, as measured in the right and left planes at 180°, revealed a statistically significant correlation both in the negative and positive direction. We found in our study that the wider the triangle formed by the gymnasts’ shoulders, hips, and feet in the starting position of the press to handstand with eyes open was indicative of a poor starting technique, that at 90° the gymnasts’ proprioception functioned differently in the right and left planes when performing a handstand with eyes open and eyes closed, and that at 180° the central nervous system may play an important role for the arm muscles in the right plane in maintaining the desired balance in the absence of visual input when performing the handstand with eyes closed.
