For me, this paper mainly shows two things: 1) that the pole plant time doesn't influence significantly the performance in pole vaulting since the overall energy of the vaulter/pole system is similar. There is a balance/compensation between vaulter's velocity during the last stance and the elastic e...

Hi there, I just made a quick research on Pubmed ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22534564 ) to check if there was a new research paper about pole vaulting. And below is what I found: Journal of Biomechanics. 2012 Jun 1;45(9):1625-31. Influence of pole plant time on the performance of a special ...

Hi Julien, In your review of pole vault mechanics you write: "However, another pole vault take-off model should be mention in this review. This model is widely used by coaches and corresponds to the Russian ‘free take-off ’, mastered by Sergey Bubka and developed by his coach Vitaly Petrov. Th...

Hi there, This is my first post in this community (I hope not the last), just to say that I'm a french sports scientist on biomechanics and neurosciences. For my PhD, I focused on pole vault biomechanics and upper-limbs muscles coordination during a vault. You can find all my publications (pdf) on m...
