Brett Favre Pole Vaulting is a skill that has been around since the Greeks started the Olympics. Until recently, it was regarded as only an event that boys could do. This was because of the arm and shoulder strength that was required. In the early years. a pole vault pit consisted of a large landing area of sand or sawdust, a vaulting box (pit), cross-bar, standards, and a pole. Each of these has improved to help protect the vaulters over time. In todays meets, large air bags (pits) even have large curtains around them to protect the vaulter when he lands. The pole that is used has developed over time. A pole made from bamboo used to be used. That has now evolved into a specialized pole that is made out of carbon fiber or fiberglass. The standards are set so that they can be moved forward or backward to help the vaulters. The crossbar is so flexible that they hardly ever break. All of these items are very expensive to purchase for school districts. School districts in our area even share the expenses as well as the equipment for practices. Some just don't even provide for the event at their school whenever they host a Track meet. Some insurance companies won't even cover athletes because of the risk factor to injury.

I have seen too many bad habits formed early that are almost impossible to correct. So, I am putting this article together for other coaches to use as a guide for teaching the pole vault correctly from the beginning. Let me say now that I have seen a million hours of pole vaulting and no two vaulters jump the same, so remember that when you are watching film of world class vaulters, they may or may not look like the athlete you are coaching. Take in to consideration height, speed, and strength of the athlete when making your coaching decisions. The following 3 steps must happen before any vaulter can vault above his or her handhold. Let’s get started. Step one: Hit your takeoff mark consistently If the vaulter can't hit their takeoff mark with consistently they can't vault. The takeoff foot should be just inside the back hand at takeoff. I refer to the hands as back (top) and front (bottom) because I have a left handed vaulter to coach.

The Continuous Chain Model Neo Vault DVD's are great coaching tools Dangers of Chronic Dehydration Bubka Speaks at the IAF ... The Physics of Pole Vaulting The physics of pole-vaulting Pole-vaulting was not one of the original Olympic sports in ancient Greece. Some think that the sport was derived from the Dutch habit of dyke-jumping, although one of the earliest pole-vaulting stands was built in Germany in 1791. The objective is, obviously, to get the athlete's centre of mass over the highest bar possible. However, today's pole-vaulters use a quite different technique to that used 100 years ago, when athletes went over the bar with their feet pointing downwards. Athletes now do a complex gymnastic manoeuvre, turning upside down as the jump takes place (figure 2a). We shall see that this is a direct result of the technology used. (figure 2) It turns out that the extra energy comes from the athleticism of the vaulter bending the pole. Energy is stored in the pole as it is bent or strained by the athlete's muscles, and returned to the vaulter as the pole recoils. The strain energy comes from the work done by the muscles of the athlete as he or she takes off, carrying out work on the pole as it is bent. The maximum strain energy of the pole is ms2/2rE, where s is the maximum or "failure" stress on the outside of the pole, r is its density and E is its Young's modulus (i.e. its "stiffness").

Contact Us Crazy Passion: There's More to Pole Vaulting than Meets the Eye By CHRISTY JOHNSON Wooster Daily Record Sports Writer May 1 - It is one of the most entertaining events to watch in track and field, one of the most difficult to perfect and near impossible to explain. The pole vault has appealed to area athletes who are brave enough to conquer the daunting task of flying over a raised bar with the aid of a fiberglass pole. In competition, the vaulters are given three chances to clear a specific height. The bar is raised gradually until there is a winner. "You have to be crazy to run down a runway with a stick in your hands, put that stick in a hole, fly over a bar and land on a pad," said Orrville senior Eric Bowers. "It isn't something that any athlete can do," said fellow Orrville senior Elle Vierheller. "Technique is so important, and it takes a lot of time in practice, you can't go out there and wing it. You have to know what you're doing." Pole vaulting has been a boys event in the OHSAA since 1908, then in 2002 the girls joined the party.

SEARCH AIP Search Physics News Graphics: Physics News Update Physics News Links Physical Review Focus The Physics of Pole Vaulting Please make sure Java is enabled in your browser. Using very simple physics principles (see below), this program lets you estimate how high you could theoretically vault based on how tall you are and how fast you can run, assuming you had the proper training and optimal efficiency. To figure out how high you could vault, simply enter a sprint speed and your height in the appropriate boxes. Pole vaulting is a wonderful illustration of how one type of energy is converted to another type of energy. Through the proper use of the pole vault, the energy of motion associated with the sprint is converted into the energy needed to overcome gravity and reach a certain height. The energy of motion is called "kinetic energy," while the energy associated with working against gravity is called "gravitational potential energy." The faster you can sprint toward the bar, the higher you can vault over the bar, again assuming a proper technique. Pole vaulting is also a great example of the central principle in physics: the conservation of energy.

Artificial draining of these marshes created a network of open drains or canals intersecting each other. In order to cross these without getting wet, while avoiding tedious roundabout journeys over bridges, a stack of jumping poles was kept at every house and used for vaulting over the canals.

9. Beach Pole Vault - The Best Pole Vaulters In The World Hit The Beach! The annual Beach Pole Vault meet in Santa Barbara, California, featuring the top pole vaulters in the world. http://www.beachvault.com

Greetings, Beach Vault Fanatics: First, Entertainment on a Stick wants you to know that we appreciate your interest in Beach Vault. Starting in January, many vaulters contacted us, wanting to know when what has become the premier seaside vault extravaganza would take place. At one point, we were even considering moving the event to Las Vegas, just to shake things up a bit. However, due to a variety of reasons, our committee has decided to put Beach Vault on a one-year break. Unfortunately, getting a summer date to which our elite vaulters could commit proved nearly impossible. And although we did receive generous offers of sponsor support from some of our friends, we had hoped for an even broader base of support. Beach Vault is not only a costly event to produce, it requires hundreds of volunteer people-hours to make the event a reality, and frankly, we need some help in that department, too. All is not lost! With your support, interest and cooperation, we look hopefully to the future when we can tell you it’s "Back to the Beach" with this unique event. If you would like to be part of our Beach Vault event planning and execution committee structure, please contact our sponsor: On Track P.O. Box 1674

Rick Suhr From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Rick Suhr (pronounced SHUR) is an Olympic level pole vaulting New York . In the last 6 years Suhr's athletes have won an un-paralleled 15 National Championships and set 16 National Records in the pole vault at the high school, collegiate, and professional levels. His most notable athlete, Jennifer Stuczynski has set the American Pole Vault Record 6 times and won the US National Championships 8 different times and is the only American woman ever to clear 16 feet. She also took first in the U.S. Olympic Trials during which she raised her own American Record in the process. Other athletes include HS National Champions Dan Tierney, Tiffany Maskilinski, and Mary Saxer. Suhr’s contribution to American pole vaulting has had tremendous impact at the grass roots and professional levels. He has improved pole vault safety and technique through clinics, public speaking, and his consultation service at the youth level. Suhr has been a big advocate in helping push professional pole vaulting back into the American Track and Field circuit. He has committed time and money at his own expense into the success of recent American pole vaulting. Suhr’s success over the last 6 year period took the National pole vault scene by surprise. This drew incredible interest and criticism. Suhr is not particularly liked by his competitors, they consider him to be isolated and secluded, almost withdrawn. However, they do identify him to be at the highest expert level in what he does (pole vault technique). Suhr was quoted responding to criticism, "Success breeds incredible jealousy, first people say you are lucky, then they criticize your technique, then when they can no longer do that, they attack you personally and simply say “we don’t like his coaching style or philosophy”.

Wolfram Research Mathematica MathWorld Wolfram Science ... AUTHORING AREA Olympic Pole Vaulting loadFlash(594, 543, 'OlympicPoleVaulting'); The pole vault is an Olympic event that demands a very high level of athletic ability. Nevertheless, it illustrates very simply the law of conservation of energy. The vaulter tries to achieve maximum kinetic energy by sprinting down the runway. At the end of the approach, the flexible fiberglass pole is planted in the box at the base of the pit. The kinetic energy gained in the sprint is converted into potential energy stored by elastic deformation of the pole. This, in turn, is converted into gravitational potential energy as the vaulter attempts to clear the crossbar. For a person with a height of meters, the body's center of gravity is estimated to be at 0.55 . Suppose the athlete can achieve a maximum speed of meters/second (world-class sprinters can do 10 m/sec). For the center of gravity to successfully reach the height of the crossbar, the energy relation must be satisfied, where

It was different from the Pole vault we know today. Heavily built, rigid poles made of ash were to be climbed as far up as possible by the performers and then they had to jump across the pit yonder. The Americans, always known for innovations and rejection of outdated and cumbersome methods, whether it is technology, business or sports, rejected the movement of hands along the poles. They, instead, introduced the upward swing of the legs and body, so much so, the belly, while facing down, becomes parallel to the crossbar at the time of clearing it.
