BRIEF LITERATURE REVIEW ON RUMBA MOVEMENT ANALYSIS
Abstract
The analysis of sports dance mechanics is a topic of interest among researchers in recent years. Pengping Zhu (2004) studied classical ballet training combined with biodynamics and analyzed its correlation. Xiling Deng (2001) discussed mechanical issues in aerobic gymnastics.
Latin dancers have radically different biomechanical demands than standard dancers (McCabe, T. R., Wyon, M., Ambegaonkar, J. P., Redding, E., 2013). In Latin American dances, both men and women follow a similar step pattern and often mirror each other's movements (Laird, W. & Laird, J., 2003).
In order to be able to understand the motor content that supports the technical executions specific to sports dance, we need to be guided by the movement analysis models. In this sense Bota A. (2007), citing Rasch and Burke, presents stages of the model of biomechanical analysis of movement.
Due to the complexity of dance steps and specific combinations, sports dance is an extremely demanding field, being approached by the performance field, so it requires many hours of training to achieve general and specific physical training.
