Fan vaulting
What is the pole vaulter height model?
The pole vaulter height model is a mathematical representation that predicts the maximum height a pole vaulter can achieve based on various factors, including their speed, the flexibility of the pole, and the technique used during the vault. It typically involves principles of physics, such as energy conservation and mechanics, to analyze the kinetic and potential energy transformations during the vault. This model helps coaches and athletes understand optimal performance parameters to enhance training and improve vaulting techniques.
Is there a pole rating available for a 200 pound vaulter?
There are many poles rated for a 200 lbs vaulter. First a vaulter of that size must work on their technique to ensure that he can use such a large pole. Then depending on the vaulters height and jump a vaulter can buy a 14' - 17' 7" that is rated for a 200 lbs vaulter. But a 14' 200 is not the same pole as a 16' 200. Please look up a pole size chart before picking the right size pole.
