The vault

Vaulting is a set of free-body movements, mainly evolutions, that are carried out by the athlete resting the only hands on the tool and lifting the body forward trying to overcome the cavallina artistic gymnastics or the plinto gymnastics with a more articulated jump.

The steps for a correct execution of the exercise are many: the run-up, the presalto, the detachment, the laying of the hands, the elevation with the realization of the evolution and the landing. Each phase has its own technical rules that must be respected for the correct execution of the exercise.

The main exercises with horse with handles and plinth gymnastics

The main exercises and movements of the vault through the use of the horse with handles or the plinth are divided into different categories.

The reels, are circular movements around the cavallina gymnastics through the single or double support of the hands. It is the category from which most of the exercises derive. Along with the reels there is the category of scissors, both front and back.

More simple and basic as exercises are the swings, the lateral transports, the pin and the chest pin that serve as a basis, for those who want to undertake the discipline at competitive levels.
