The Yurchenko Part 2
Technical analysis and specific physical preparation
description
In this second half of the training on the Yurchenko on vault, you'll find another three videos.
To begin with, a technical analysis, in which we'll analyze each phase of the movement.
We'll take a detailed look at two types of hurdle that are commonly used, with the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Next, we'll analyze the round-off, with particular attention to the essential role of the back leg in the landing from the hurdle. You'll find out why it's one of the phases of the skill that poses the most problems for our gymnasts.
Next, we'll see the different angles of attack for the springboard and the vault, as well as the actions for both the entry and exit.
To finish up, we'll give you some advice on where to place the springboard, the mat, and the different marks, at the right distance.
Then move on to the video on physical preparation, with a number of exercises specifically for Yurchenko.
Bonus: a "live" segment with 7 case studies. Practice spotting performance errors and see our analysis and the solutions offered.
Enjoy the training!

Our advice:
• For training session prep: thanks to the technique summary and icons at the top of each page, you can easily find the stations that match the current needs of your gymnasts. You can also anticipate the equipment needs for your upcoming session.
