The research aimed to identify the most important biomechanical characteristics of the Salto Forward Tucked skill as a start on the balance beam event in women's gymnastics, and for this purpose the researcher used the descriptive and experimental approaches to an intentional sample represented by the best player in the Egyptian national team for young women who perform the best performance at the level of the Republic for the skill of studying on the balance beam, where imaging was done using a digital video camera (8 ml) with a frequency of (25) images per second to shoot three attempts to perform the study skill in the Olympic training center of the national women team in Maadi, then the biomechanical analysis of the study variables was made using the WINANALYZE kinematic analysis program.
The researcher concluded that the time period for the performance of the landing and balance on the balance beam represents almost twice the time of performing the Salto Forward Tucked, which must represent the largest share in the teaching and training process for this skill, and the distance between the springboard and the moment of single leap on the ground represents (1.3 of the player's height) While the distance between the feet on the balance beam at the moment of landing represents (17%) of the player's height, and the exit angles for the center of gravity are large for both the ground and the springboard while the entry angles are small on the springboard, as a gradual decrease in the speed from the moment the ground is left until the stand on the balance beam.
