The backward swing

How to teach a backward swing on uneven bars

description

The backward swing is one of the foundational elements that our gymnasts must acquire if they want to progress on uneven bars.

You need it to be able to learn giants and forward dismounts, but also to be able to safely swing facing the low bar.

Mastering this skill also helps you swing back and forth effectively when using straps. This means that with each swing, gymnasts can generate more and more speed, which makes more difficult elements accessible, whether in the direction of a backward or forward giant.

To help you teach this element, we have a technical analysis for you in which we examine each feature of the movement: the different angles for each action, the body positioning in each phase of the skill, as well as the different types of effort required. All of this information will help you to give clear, relevant instructions to your gymnasts and corrections based on their execution.

In the video on prerequisites, you'll learn how to tell when your gymnasts are ready, both physically and technically, to work on this new swing.

In the final segment of this training course, we'll show you the entire training circuit needed to learn the skill. From the most basic exercises to final execution, each stage is explained in detail.

We hope you enjoy the training.

About the trainer

Angelo Ritorto

High Performance Coach - Expert trainer in Women's Artistic Gymnastics

GymneoTV creator and trainer

Author of the books "Let's Teach Gymnastics"

Truly passionate about gymnastics from the age of 11, Angelo quickly progressed through the ranks as a High Performance coach preparing gymnasts for national selection. First in Marseille, at Pôle France, for 15 years. By turns in charge of the 10 - 12 year olds and the 12 - 14 year olds, his work focused on the preparation of female gymnasts from their beginnings at the center up to their participation in international competitions. A period rich in experience which saw the emergence of a number of gymnasts, 17 of whom were selected to represent France, and several of whom participated in the Olympic Games, and European and World Championships. He then moved to Belgium where he was tasked by the Francophone Gymnastics Federation to train High Performance coaches, bolster the processes for detection and preparation of talented gymnasts, and put in place a training system for coaches. This is how GymneoTV was born. A trainer since the beginnings of his professional career, whether for future Brevet coaches or for private organizations, he never separated education from training. He posesses a genuine passion for transmitting his knowledge to gymnastics coaches. A proponent of technique and precision, and forerunner in the delivery of online education in artistic gymnastics, it is principally through his books and his training materials for GymneoTV that he now shares his expertise throughout the world (in over 100 countries).
