	Pole vault - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pole vaulting is an athletics event where competitors use a long, flexible pole as an aid to leap over a bar, similar to the high jump, but at much greater heights.
		The modern pole vaulting technique was developed in the United States at the end of the nineteenth century.
		Initially, vaulting poles were made from stiff materials such as bamboo or aluminium, until the introduction of flexible vaulting poles made from composites such as fiberglass or carbon fiber.

	Physics of Pole Vaulting
		Pole vaulting is a wonderful illustration of how one type of energy is converted to another type of energy.
		Through the proper use of the pole vault, the energy of motion associated with the sprint is converted into the energy needed to overcome gravity and reach a certain height.
		Pole vaulting is also a great example of the central principle in physics: the conservation of energy.

	The Vaulting Pages
		Recently, the Pole Vault world was shocked at the deaths of some vaulters around the country due to injuries that they sustained in vaulting accidents.
		I am of the strong opinion that the pole vault is a very safe event, if one uses common sense and has an idea of one's own limits and level of comfort when it comes to moving to larger poles.
		The critical difference in carbon poles that makes people love or hate them is this: they store considerably more energy than fiberglass poles, but they recoil so quickly that many find it hard to swing hard and fast enough to get on top of the bend in order to facilitate a good vault.

	Physics and the Olympics
		Basic mechanics tells us that the highest stresses occur on the outside of a bent beam, and that a symmetrically bent object, such as a pole, actually has a zone down the middle (known as the neutral axis) where the stresses are very low and even zero.
		Energy is stored in the pole as it is bent or strained by the athlete's muscles, and returned to the vaulter as the pole recoils.
		The maximum strain energy of the pole is ms2/2rE, where s is the maximum or "failure" stress on the outside of the pole, r is its density and E is its Young's modulus (i.e.

	Pole Vaulting
		Pole vaulting is a step by step process that must be learned correctly from the beginning.
		Let me say now that I have seen a million hours of pole vaulting and no two vaulters jump the same, so remember that when you are watching film of world class vaulters, they may or may not look like the athlete you are coaching.
		The objective is to bend the pole past 90 degrees (top of pole must be at least horizontal with the runway with both hands at least level with the runway while you are still on the ground.) The longer the pole the easier this becomes so don’t expect this too soon especially with short poles.

	POLE VAULT
		Of the jumps, the pole vault is the most demanding, has the most technical aspects and is by far the most dangerous.
		The pole is carried in the notch between the thumb and the index finger.
		The pole should be carried high during the mid-portion of the run, letting it drop in the transition phase.

	Kimo's Pole Vault Site - Physics
		The basic idea is this - a pole vaulter takes his/her horizontal acceleration and converts it into vertical acceleration (counteracting the acceleration of gravity) through the use of a compressible spring (that would be the pole).
		In the case of the vault, this means that the amount of force applied to the pole at the plant equals the mass of the vaulter (his/her weight) times the vaulter's acceleration at the plant (where acceleration is the measure of change in the velocity or speed).
		Poles are built with a variety of resistances depending on the amount of fiberglass in the pole, and thus each pole can withstand a certain amount of force applied to them depending on their rating.

		The pole vault originated in Europe, where men used the pole to cross canals filled with water.
		They competed on grass, planting the point in the grass (because holes were not allowed back then), vaulting over a pole and landing back on the grass.
		Now the modern pole vault takes place on an all-weather track surface, with a box for planting the pole in, and plenty of padding in the landing pit.

	:: Neo Vault :: Pole Vault Knowledge
		But I learned to control that top speed and execute my vault because I did the pole runs that way and over time I became familiar with the feeling of running my absolute fastest with the pole.
		So I guess the lesson is to use pole runs as an opportunity to push yourself and your runway speed.
		Pole runs that are performed without this in mind are basically teaching you how to run slower with the pole and you're selling yourself short of your best height.
