Abstract

Analyzing from the perspective of physics mechanics, the pole vault is a project which transforms kinetic energy into elastic potential energy. The magnitude of kinetic energy depends on the vaulter’s approaching speed, while the magnitude of elastic potential energy depends on height. Therefore, the run-up speed determines the vaulter’s performance in pole vault to a certain extent. the horizontal speed of the pole-holding approach phase transitioning into vertical upward speed plays a crucial role in executing pole vault techniques, and the model of approaching speed establishes a theoretical foundation for vaulters to break through the pole limitation. In terms of specialized technical assistance in speed training, short-distance speed exercises are used in the approaching phase; in the swinging phase, gymnastic rings, single bar and suspension rope exercises are employed for suspension; in the stretch phase, trampoline exercises play a important role in rotation phase, etc.
