How to teach the cast to handstand with straddled legs on the uneven bars
description
The cast to handstand with straddled legs is becoming always more popular among gymnasts and coaches on the uneven bars. It is gradually replacing the cast to handstand with legs together.
This success is linked to several factors.
On a technical and physical level, it is way easier to master. The transition through a straddled pike and the action of the legs to finalize the gesture, make it easier to reach the handstand and with less effort. This allows you to preserve energy for the rest of the exercise.
In addition, it generates fewer execution errors, particularly regarding the leg hold and the respect of the angle when reaching the handstand.
Finally, the action of the legs to finalize the movement allows you to generate a greater bar rebound, which stabilizes the handstand and limits the falls forward. This also facilitates a greater elongation at the shoulder level, which allows you to be much more efficient in all the elements afterwards.
In this training course, we will help you learn how to teach it to your gymnasts. We will see its technical analysis, its prerequisites as well as all the educational exercises that will allow your gymnasts to master it quickly.
We wish you a pleasant training course.
