Summary/Abstract: Artistic Gymnastics is characterised by a higher content, rich and varied elements and technical processes. Gymnasts learn new elements on an ongoing basis, therefore these elements should be learned correctly from the technical point of view so that on the already appropriated content. New elements are built upon and tied to other elements, of a higher difficulty degree. In gymnastics, technical preparation is very important, because only a fairly correct technique ensures prospects for progress.The main purpose of this paper is to highlight the dismounts characteristics of the double salto backward tucked`s landings, at uneven bars and the impact of using a specialized software for their technic's analysis and correctness. An constative study was realised in order to accomplish the purpose, in wich was used the biomechanic video analysis method, using KINOVEA and PHYSICS TOOLKIT as main research method. There were also used the following methods: study of bibliographic research, observation method, the statistical method and graphic representation. With Kinovea were studied the angles, and with Phisics Toolkit programs were studied the dynamic and kinematic characteristics of technique's key elements used for the dismount with double salto backward tucked, using methods from Postural Landmarks of Movements as Main (key) Elements of Sport Acrobatics Technique: start position of the body (SP) - moment of releasing the bars, multiplication of body position (MP) - somersault rotation, maximum height of flight of General Centre Gravitation (GCG), and final position (FP) of the body - landing time of first contact (FP1) and final position (FP2). The study subjects were the 8 junior III gymnasts, 12 years old, qualified in the final of uneven bars, at the Junior III, II and I Individual National Championship, Oneşti 2013. The study results revealed the biomechanical dismounts characteristics of the double salto backward tucked landings, execution technical mistakes in accordance with the sportive performance obtained in the contest.
