The purpose of this study was to design a PID based control system for a biomechanical
model of the press handstand in gymnastics. The model was utilized to simulate a press
handstand performance of a gymnast. A total of 10 simulations were performed using
different controller parameters to achieve a decent result in joint kinematics which
matches with the actual performance. The results of this study showed that maximum and
minimum torque values can be used as proportional gain of a P controller. This PID
based feedback control model can be developed and used for classification of the control
parameters among press handstands performed on different apparatuses such as rings
and parallel bars in gymnastics.
