The biomechanics of a backflip involve a dynamic sequence of movements. It begins with a powerful leg drive, launching the body upward and initiating the backward rotation. Tucking the knees toward the chest reduces rotational inertia, facilitating a swift spin. Core strength and body control enable the athlete to maintain a tucked position, while strategic extension of the arms slows down the rotation. Spotting the landing, the athlete extends their legs, absorbing the landing forces and ensuring stability. The backflip showcases the harmonious coordination of these biomechanical elements, blending strength, precision, and control in a gravity-defying spectacle.
