A good understanding of the mechanics of pole vaulting is fundamental to performance
because this event is quite complex, with several factors occurring in sequence and/or in …

A model of pole vaulting with a flexible pole was developed with the aim of predicting the
optimum take‐off technique and pole characteristics for a typical world‐class pole vaulter …

This study examined the effect of run-up velocity on the peak height achieved by the athlete
in the pole vault and on the corresponding changes in the athlete's kinematics and energy …

The pole vault is a highly technical event where the athletes must successfully convert
horizontal velocity during the run-up to vertical velocity at take-off. The aim of this study was …

An impact process similar to pole-vaulting is studied, viz., the impact in a vertical plane
between the bottom end of a slightly eurved elastic bar (pole), with a point mass (vaulter) at …

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the timing of the pole plant during the
stance phase of the jump on the energy level of the vaulter/pole system at take-off for a …

Aim. The take-off is probably the most important phase of the pole vault. The kinematics of
pole vault take-off is often described in comparison to the long jump take-off. If a kinetic …

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of pole carrying on the
biomechanics of the run-up in the pole vault. Eight novice male pole vaulters participated …

Optimal performance of a dynamical pole vault process was modeled as a constrained
nonlinear optimization problem. That is, given a vaulter's anthropomorphic data and …

The article is devoted to the study of the biomechanics of one of the technically difficult
sports-pole vaulting. The research is based on the methods of computer and computational …
