ABSTRACT:
An apparatus used to train pole vaulters to practice the swing and stretch of the vault from the pole plant and bend phase to the inversion phase which includes an upside down "U" shaped tube member with two short extensions protruding from a top surface of the upside down "U" shaped tube with steel straps extending from each extension with handles attached to the end of steel straps, the "U" shaped tube, extension and straps and grips are positioned so that the handles hang parallel, level but offset from each other about eight inches. The "U" shaped tube is swingingly attached to the horizontal bar by the use of velcro straps while a cloth mat is provided between the "U" shaped and the horizontal bar allowing the "U" shaped tube to swing freely around the horizontal bar. Safety wrist straps are attached to the hand grips assuring the athlete's safe grip during the training. The device provides a training tool for the swing phase of the pole vault without unnecessary delay or danger created by many repetitions of the run, pole plant, leg drive, and swing.
