Comparisons and technical analysis of Pole Vaulters and Long Jumpers
There is a close correlation between long jump and pole vault run and takeoff.
I did not go in depth of mechanics, but as you’ll be able to see the technical view of athletes and the positions of body posture during the period of the last step and take off.
It’s important for you to see the differences in your own technique and compare them to one of the best in the world. there are many techniques and for every individual, there is a little different approach. While you might not be the fastest or strongest of them all, if you understand the technique and use the law of physics, you can surprise yourself with what are you capable of.
