What are the key points of back-style high jump?

The Flop high jump is a competition event. Many people may not be familiar with or understand this sport, but it is an event that requires relatively strong methods and skills. Therefore, for every athlete, its movements and techniques are very important. The following is a detailed analysis of the movements and techniques of the Flop high jump, as well as some running-up techniques.

Technical elements of the run-up

Technical features

The main feature of the Flop high jump run-up is the arc run-up, and the run-up line is generally "J". Its advantages are:

1. The preparatory section of the run-up is a straight line or a line with a very small curvature, so it is easy to accelerate and exert speed throughout the whole process.

2. The transition to an arc is relatively smooth and natural, avoiding pauses or deceleration.

3. The curvature of the arc changes from large to small, allowing the body to gradually increase its internal frequency.

4. The last step should form an angle of about 20 to 30 degrees with the horizontal bar to ensure that the human body has an appropriate vertical displacement distance relative to the horizontal bar after being lifted into the air.

Running Technique

The task of the run-up is to obtain the necessary horizontal speed and create conditions for improving the take-off effect and smoothly crossing the bar. The flop high jump generally uses 8 to 12 steps of run-up, which is divided into a straight run-up section and an arc run-up section.

1. Straight-line running technique: similar to the short-distance running technique, the body's center of gravity is high and stable when running, the upper body is appropriately leaning forward, the back kick is sufficient and powerful, the forward swing is actively raised, and the two arms are coordinated and swung widely;

2. Arc running technique: The body gradually leans inward, increasing the swing range of the outer leg and arm, and keeping the head and torso in a straight line leaning inward. The entire process of the run-up should have obvious acceleration and a strong sense of rhythm, especially the last few steps should gradually speed up and the last step should be the fastest.

Normally, many people may not pay much attention to or understand these sports, but for athletes, if they want to achieve good results, then these common sense and skills are naturally very important. Moreover, if we pay attention to these sports scientifically, then they can also have a good training effect on our physical health.
