The aim of this paper is to highlight the degree of connection between the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of sports technique used in double back somersault and the performances achieved by junior female gymnasts in floor events. For this purpose, we used the following research methods: computerized video method through the “Pinnacle Studio”, “Kinovea” and “Physics ToolKit” programs, method of movement postural orientation and evaluation of sports technique key elements with complex coordination of movement structure and statistical-mathematical method. The execution of double back somersault by junior female gymnasts aged 12 to 15 years was analysed using the specialised Physics ToolKit program in order to highlight the kinematic and dynamic characteristics of sports technique key components. To make this correlative analysis following the biomechanical analysis of double back somersault on floor, we selected the most effective biomechanical indicators of movement execution. The study results prove that the comparative correlative analysis (made by parametric and nonparametric statistical methods) of the biomechanical characteristics and the performances achieved in competition by junior female gymnasts reveal different degrees of connection of the analysed indicators and their relationship according to the kinematic and dynamic particularities of sports technique used in double back somersault on floor.
