Pole vault From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Pole vaulting is an athletic event where a person uses a long, flexible pole (which today are usually made either of fiberglass or carbon fiber) as an aid to leap over a bar . Pole jumping competitions were known to the ancient Greeks , as well as the Cretans and Celts . It has been a full medal event at the Olympic Games since for men and since for women. Contents History Pole vault technology Modern vaulting Phases of pole vaulting ... edit History Poles were used as a practical means of passing over natural obstacles in places such as the marshy provinces of Friesland in The Netherlands , along the North Sea , and the great level of the Fens of Cambridgeshire Huntingdonshire Lincolnshire and Norfolk . The artificial draining of these marshes created a network of open drains or canals intersecting each other at right angles. In order to cross these without getting wet, while avoiding tedious roundabout journeys over bridges, a stack of jumping poles was kept at every house and used for vaulting over the canals. In Friesland , where it is called fierljeppen , it has continued to be a folkloristic activity with annual competitions. Broad-jumping with the pole, though the original form of the sport, has never found its way into organized athletics, the high jump being the only form recognized.

4. Physics Of Pole Vaulting Using very simple physics principles, this program estimates how high you could theoretically vault based on how tall you are and how fast you can run, http://www.aip.org/png/html/polevault.html

SEARCH AIP Search Physics News Graphics: Physics News Update Physics News Links Physical Review Focus The Physics of Pole Vaulting Please make sure Java is enabled in your browser. Using very simple physics principles (see below), this program lets you estimate how high you could theoretically vault based on how tall you are and how fast you can run, assuming you had the proper training and optimal efficiency. To figure out how high you could vault, simply enter a sprint speed and your height in the appropriate boxes. 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. The energy of motion is called "kinetic energy," while the energy associated with working against gravity is called "gravitational potential energy." The faster you can sprint toward the bar, the higher you can vault over the bar, again assuming a proper technique. Pole vaulting is also a great example of the central principle in physics: the conservation of energy.

Early this month, 18-year-old Allison Stokke walked into her high school track coach's office and asked if he knew any reliable media consultants. Stokke had tired of constant phone calls, of relentless Internet attention, of interview requests from Boston to Brazil. In her high school track and field career, Stokke had won a 2004 California state pole vaulting title, broken five national records and earned a scholarship to the University of California, yet only track devotees had noticed. Then, in early May, she received e-mails from friends who warned that a year-old picture of Stokke idly adjusting her hair at a track meet in New York had been plastered across the Internet. She had more than 1,000 new messages on her MySpace page. A three-minute video of Stokke standing against a wall and analyzing her performance at another meet had been posted on YouTube and viewed 150,000 times.

15. Bubba PV - The Bubba Sparks Pole Vault Index Words of Wisdom I got an email from a friend recently who said something so simple and profound, pole vaulting is about having a good place to jump, http://www.bubbapv.com/

National Senior Games, July 4, 2007 - Louisville, Kentucky HALLOWEEN 2007 My Current Training Words of Wisdom - I got an email from a friend recently who said something so simple and profound, "pole vaulting is about having a good place to jump, feeling good when you jump, and working hard and continuous enough without getting hurt, that you can continue to experience periodic breakthroughs". Along those same lines, my orthopedic surgeon told me that training at the elite level is like walking on a balance beam - if you fall off one side you get hurt, and if you fall off the other you're not progressing. The older you get, the more narrow that beam becomes. B U B B A P V Southwest Texas in 1976 - I remember having hair back then! The people sure dressed funny. I think it was disco!
