How to Pole Vault Higher
What comes first?
The Row or the Swing?
What is more efficient?
A Biomechanical Analysis by Advantage Athletics Inc
Pole Vault Coach
Tim Werner
"There are 2 ways to add energy to the system after the pole vaulter has left the ground, Sequential Motion and Muscle Energy." Dr. Mark Walsh PhD Biomechanics
For those Physics "experts" that say it's just kinetic energy from the run. False! Very misleading! All movement has kinetic energy. This is kinematic sequencing or in Biomechanical terms "Sequential Motion", a term that needs to be used more in describing movements in the pole vault and motions sought after.

Pole Vault Drills
My vaulters called these "bendomatics".
Many would call a drill similar to this "stay downs", but that's not the purpose. It is to stay back to set up for sequential motion into a strong tap(see previous posts). This pole vault drill gives the vaulter extra time to adjust to a more efficient position of hips behind the shoulders, trail knee behind the hips, and trail foot behind the knee. **To be most efficient the trail leg MUST BE BENT!
*To get the most out of this drill do not row the hands! Keep driving/leaning on the shoulders.
Thanks to and for their videos and demonstrations.
