description
The giant swing is one of the most important swing elements on the uneven bars.
It is the basis for all the giant circles and other backward dismounts. It is therefore essential to know its technique in detail and to be extremely precise in teaching it.
In this training course, you will learn all its constituent positionings and actions, with numerous references to the movement angulations. You will understand the techniques which allow the passing of the low bar as well as the aspects to teach during the transition phase, at the top of the swing, to generate an efficient return swing.
We will see that it is taught very early in the career plan and that mastering the bent-knee swings is an essential prerequisite for this swing.
Finally, we will detail the whole set of learning exercises so that your gymnasts can master it.
We wish you a pleasant training course.
