Pole Vault: Speed + Muscle + Sequence = 🚀

Here's an example of how a pole vaulter utilizes speed from the run, task specific muscle strength, and efficient sequential motion to maximize potential energy in the pole to launch the straight inverted body vertically.
To reach your maximum potential height in the pole vault, you must develop and use all 3 addends: speed, strength and sequence.
"A genetic ceiling exists for the top speed an athlete can reach" from Developing Speed by NSCA -National Strength & Conditioning Association & Ian Jeffreys.
"Genetics impacts all areas of fitness and performance, including muscles and strength."
Sequential Motion Skills are exemplified in work addressing a practice phenomenon, which focuses on best practice for improving the acquisition of multiple, related skills.
"About 80% of the pole vault is speed on the runway." Dr. Mark Walsh PhD Biomechanics, Miami University, Pole Vault Summit 2023. That is the difference between 16' and 20' OR 4.8m and 6.00m.
THEREFORE: to reach your maximum potential you must develop your speed and strength to the best of your ability that your GENES allow you AND master the sequence of moves using exercises that bedt mimic each movement in the athletic performance.
