When performing multiple side vaults, it's crucial to develop a plyometric technique to maximize efficiency and speed. The process involves landing with both feet and immediately pushing off without stopping to maintain momentum. This motion should be fluid, with a strategy of leaning slightly forward and using your arms to support the weight as you prepare for the next jump. The focus should be on keeping the hips elevated to facilitate quick transitions between jumps.
Practicing chaining together a sequence of high repetitions, such as 8 to 10 consecutive jumps, will help in mastering this technique. As you land from each vault, the idea is to bounce back up and retain your momentum. This method not only enhances agility but also leverages the natural spring of movements to ensure that the jumps flow seamlessly from one to the next without a break in speed.
In summary, the proper execution of side vaults can significantly improve performance when performed in a plyometric manner. Regular practice of this technique helps to build muscle memory and stamina while reducing the risk of injury by emphasizing proper landing mechanics. The key lies in optimizing body movement and understanding the dynamics of momentum throughout the exercise.
Key Points:
- Utilize plyometric techniques to maintain momentum during side vaults.
- Focus on fluid, continuous movement by landing and bouncing back without pauses.
- Incorporate high repetitions in practice to improve agility and efficiency.
Chain ten (x10) side-vaults back-and-forth in a row without pausing or stopping. Your landing position should also be your take-off position on the next vault.
You must demonstrate this on a hip-height wall or rail.
Your chest, torso and hips must be facing the same direction on the takeoff and landing position.
You must demonstrate ten reps on each side (20 in total).
