Rotations around the longitudinal axis

First level of variability

Rolling

 

  • Starting Position: Lying on the back, arms extended upward.
  • Movement: Rolling around the longitudinal axis.

180° Turn on tiptoes

 

  • Starting Position: Standing with feet in line, arms extended sideways.
  • Movement: From the standing position with one foot placed just in front of the other, rise onto the tiptoes, raise the arms, and turn 180°. When the turn is complete, lower back onto flat feet and extend arms to the sides.
  • Final Position: Staggered stance, arms extended sideways.

Turn in squat position

 

  • Starting Position: Standing with feet in line, arms extended sideways.
  • Movement: From the standing position with one foot in front of the other, rise onto the toes, then squat down with arms bent forward. Complete a 180° turn. Once finished, stand up, place feet flat, and extend arms to the sides.
  • Final Position: Standing with feet in line, arms extended sideways.

Straight jump with 180° turn

 

  • Starting Position: Standing with feet in line, arms extended sideways.
  • Movement: Begin from standing, low the centre of the body with arms backward. Jump high into the air, bringing the arms forward and upward. Rotate 180° in the air and land using a flexing of the knees to reduce an impact on the joints.
  • Final Position: Standing with arms forward.

Straight jump with 360° turn

 

  • Starting Position: Standing with feet in line, arms extended sideways.
  • Movement: Begin from standing, low the centre of the body with arms backward. Jump high into the air, bringing the arms forward and upward. Rotate 360° in the air and land using a flexing of the knees to reduce an impact on the joints.
  • Final Position: standing, arms forward.

Turn on one leg, free leg bent below horizontal

 

  • Starting Position: Stand on one leg with the other raised in front, one arm extended sideways, the other bent forward.
  • Movement: Transfer weight onto the front part of the standing foot, raise the arms, bend the lifted leg in front with the foot near the knee, and rotate 180°. Upon completing the turn, place the foot on the flat and return the extended leg forward, arms to the sides.
  • Final Position: Stand on one leg, the other leg is extended forward arms sideways.

Second level of variability

180° turn on tiptoes (on gymnastic equipment)

 

  • Starting Position: Standing with feet in line, arms extended sideways.
  • Movement: From standing with one foot in front of the other, rise onto the toes, raise the arms, and complete a 180° turn. After the turn, return to flat feet and extend arms sideways.
  • Final Position: Standing on feet in line.

Turn in squat (on gymnastic equipment)

 

  • Starting Position: Standing with feet in line, arms extended sideways.
  • Movement: From standing with one foot in front of the other, rise onto the toes, squat, and bring arms forward. Complete a 180° turn. Stand up, place feet flat, and extend arms to the sides.
  • Final Position: Standing with feet in line, arms extended sideways

Turn on one leg, free leg bent below horizontal (on gymnastic equipment)

 

  • Starting Position: Stand on one leg with the other extended forward, one arm sideways, the other bent forward.
  • Movement: Shift weight onto the front foot, raise arms, and turn the raised leg in front with the foot near the knee for a 180° turn. After the turn, place the foot down and extend the arms sideways.
  • Final Position: Stand on one leg, the other leg is extended forward arms sideways.

 

Straight jump with turn from vaulting box (180)

 

  • Starting Position: Standing with feet in line, arms sideways.
  • Movement: Lower into a half-squat, jump from the vaulting box with arms moving through to a 180° turn in the air, and landing using a flexing of the knees to reduce an impact on the joints and muscles.
  • Final Position: Standing, arms forward.

 

Straight jump with turn from vaulting box (360)

 

  • Starting Position: Standing with feet in line, arms sideways.
  • Movement: Lower into a half-squat, jump from the vaulting box with arms moving through to a 180° turn in the air, and landing using a flexing of the knees to reduce an impact on the joints and muscles.
  • Final Position: Standing, arms forward.

 

Straight jump with turn of the springboard (180)

 

  • Movement: Run up, jump off the springboard with legs together, and rotate, landing using a flexing of the knees to reduce an impact on the joints.
  • Final Position: Standing, arms forward.

 

Straight jump with turn of the springboard (360)

 

  • Movement: Run up, jump off the springboard with legs together, and rotate, landing using a flexing of the knees to reduce an impact on the joints.
  • Final Position: Standing, arms forward.

 

Straight jump with turn on mini trampoline

 

  • Movement: Run up, jump from the mini trampoline with legs together, rotate, and land in a half-squat with arms forward.
  • Final Position: land using a flexing of the knees to reduce an impact on the joints arms forward.

 

Straight jump with turn on big trampoline (180)

 

  • Movement: Perform straight jumps on the trampoline, raise arms through to overhead to complete the turn.

 

Straight jump with turn on big trampoline (360)

 

  • Movement: Perform straight jumps on the trampoline, raise arms through to overhead to complete the turn.

 

Third level of variability

Tuck jump with turn

 

  • Movement: Run up, jump from the big trampoline, tuck the knees, then straighten the legs, rotate, and land using a flexing of the knees to reduce an impact on the joints.
  • Final Position: Standing, arms forward.

Tuck jump with turn from mini trampoline

 

  • Movement: Run up, jump from the mini trampoline, tuck the knees, then straighten the legs, rotate, and land using a flexing of the knees to reduce an impact on the joints.

Handstand turn

 

  • Starting Position: Stand on one leg, other leg raised forward, arms overhead.
  • Movement: Step forward with the raised leg, place hands on the ground, swing the supporting leg to handstand, and turn 180°. Lower the first leg back to the ground, followed by the other leg.
  • Final Position: Stand on one leg, other leg raised forward, arms overhead.
