Many athletes cannot do without twines, for example, in dancing, figure skating, artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, the twine is an indispensable element, without which it is impossible to perform many movements. For other athletes, for example, in martial arts, the twine allows performing amplitude kicks. However, twine lovers can perform most of the movements more efficiently, but it is not an obligatory element.
1. Cross twine
With a transverse split, the legs are in the same plane – horizontally. For example, in gymnastics, this element is not difficult, since the angle in the position of the legs is 180 degrees maximum, but for many people, in principle, this is one of the most difficult types, since not everyone is physiologically capable of sitting on a transverse twine. The structural features of the femoral neck significantly reduce the mobility of the joint, which means that it is impossible to reach 180 degrees in a horizontal position.
Each discipline has its own characteristics when performing a side split. For example, in classical choreography and rhythmic gymnastics, maximum rotation occurs in the hip joint. This rotation is also called joint eversion. At the same time, the knees in the twine are directed upward, which indicates good eversion.
In artistic gymnastics, eversion is also necessary, but not to such an extent, and when performing a split, the thumbs should reach the floor. It is believed that such a twine is easier for men to master.
