Abstract

Abstract:

The study aimed to analyze the biomechanical skill of the (Tours Chainès) in ballet, through the descriptive approach by means of kinetic analysis using the Motion Track program, due to its suitability to the nature of the research. The sample for kinetic analysis was chosen intentionally, and it was a free ballet student in the fifth year at the Higher Institute of Ballet at the Academy of Arts and a ballet dancer at the Egyptian Opera House, The sample was subjected to photography and kinetic analysis in the kinetic expression hall at the Faculty of Sports Sciences for Girls - Zamalek - Helwan University, A number of attempts to perform the skill were photographed for the research sample, with the best (3) attempts, The results showed that, the pre-biomechanical analysis of the Tours Chainès skill allowed the researcher to identify the most important body parts associated with the skill and to know the strengths and weaknesses of the students during performance, in addition to the displacement, speed, center of gravity, head, arms, and enhancing the technical level. The trainers can refer toThese results when designing training programs for dancers.
