The full turn vault involves executing a 180° rotation. To initiate this move, the athlete should ensure their hands are positioned correctly and that they are prepared to turn. The inside hand maintains contact throughout, while the outside hand releases and re-establishes grip as the turn progresses. As both feet lift off the ground, the aim is to land facing the opposite direction, ensuring the landing is controlled.
Importantly, the technique emphasizes the significance of body positioning during the turn. Leaning out too far can lead to a wider arc and an unbalanced landing, which pulls the athlete in the opposite direction. Instead, maintaining a tight posture throughout the rotation will allow for a smoother transition to the landing phase. This approach ensures better control over the direction of movement, culminating in a more stable finish.
As the athlete ascends and begins to turn, they should focus on keeping their rotational motion tight and downward. This method reduces lateral pull, which can compromise balance and accuracy. By concentrating on pulling downwards during the landing, the athlete enhances their stability and precision in executing the full turn vault effectively.
Key Points:
- Proper hand positioning and body control are essential for executing a full turn vault.
- Maintaining a tight and controlled posture during the turn helps prevent an unstable landing.
- Emphasizing a downward pull rather than lateral movement ensures better balance and accuracy upon landing.
As an extension of the level-4 requirements, you must now perform the same movement but now start facing the rail, rather than in a side vault.
Therefore, you will be turning 180 degrees rather than 90 degrees.
All other parts are the same as level-4.
Both feet must remain together on the take-off and landing.
For example.
- Stand with the rail in front of you.
- Your right hand grabs the bar on top in a pronated grip facing down.
- Your left hand grabs in a supinated grip facing up.
- Jump up with both feet together over the rail to your right and turn 90 degrees as you do.
- pass over the railing with both of the feet together and behind you.
- Let go of the right hand and move it around the left hand.
- Grab the bar with the right hand on top in a pronated grip next to the left hand.
- Turn another 90 degrees to your left as you are landing.
- Land two-feet together facing the railing using the ball of the foot.
Repeat three times in each direction.
The rail must be hip-height or greater.
