Editing Pole vault (section)

=== Swing up ===
The swing and row simply consists of the vaulter swinging the trail leg forward and rowing the pole, bringing the top arm down to the hips, while trying to keep the trail leg straight to store more potential energy into the pole, the rowing motion also keeps the pole bent for a longer period of time for the vaulter to get into optimum position. When parallel to the pole the left arm hugs the pole tight to efficiently use the recoil within the pole. The goal is to carry out these motions as thoroughly and as quickly as possible; it is a race against the unbending of the pole. Effectively, this causes a double [[pendulum]] motion, with the top of the pole moving forward and pivoting from the box, while the vaulter acts as a second pendulum pivoting from the right hand. This action gives the vaulter the best position possible to be "ejected" off the pole. The swing continues until the hips are above the head and the arms are pulling the pole close to the chest; from there the vaulter shoots their legs up over the cross bar while keeping the pole close.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.usatf.org/groups/coaches/library/2007/Pole%20Vault%20Training/2007NPEP-McGinnis.pdf|title=Mechanics of the pole vault|last=McGinnis|first=Peter|date=December 2015|website=usatf.org}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thoughtco.com/learning-the-pole-vault-3259054|title=How to Do the Pole Vault in Track and Field|work=ThoughtCo|access-date=2 May 2018}}</ref>
