Vaulting techniques
Vaulting techniques are methods used by gymnasts and acrobats to safely leap over obstacles or bars. These techniques involve coordinated movements, such as running, jumping, and using the hands and feet to propel the body upward and forward. Proper technique ensures momentum, control, and safety, often incorporating steps like the running approach, placing hands on the object, kicking or tucking the legs, and landing smoothly. Mastering vaulting requires strength, timing, and technique, enabling performers to clear obstacles efficiently and gracefully while minimizing injury risk.
