This paper aims to highlight the biomechanical characteristics of the dismounts off beam in women`s artistic gymnastics. This scientific approach has led to a study carried out throughout the period of two national competitions 2012 and 2013, with a group of 13 junior gymnasts aged 12 to 15, members of the Junior Olympic team of Izvorani. The biomechanical analysis has been performed using Kinovea and Physics Toolkit programs and the method of postural orientation of the movement, highlighting the key elements of sports technique in the dismounts off beam. The results of the study showed the anthropometric and biomechanical indicators necessary for the biomechanical analysis of the dismounts off beam in the case of junior 12 to 15 years old. The comparative biomechanical analysis of the dismount off the beam highlighted the influence of the kinematic and dynamic characteristics on the technical execution in accordance with the performances achieved in competitions.
