Pole Vault Biomechanical Analysis of Mondo Duplantis's Plant & Takeoff to the Tap

This is a pole vault Biomechaanical Analysis of Mondo Duplantis's plant and takeoff to the Tap and how he transfers that energy from his run into the pole with Sequential Motion and Task Specific Muscle Energy. The ability to set up for a sequence of moves and the ability to utilize task specific muscle strength in each movement in the sequence is what enables him to transfer as much energy as possible from his run into the pole. "Sequential Motion and Muscle Strength can add energy to the system after the pole vaulter has left the ground" Dr. Mark Walsh PhD Biomechanics, 2023 National Pole Vault Summit.
"Mondo's swing technique keeps the pole loaded while inverting" Greg Duplantis, 2024 Padova Pole Vault Convention.
Because Mondo has the ability to keep the pole loaded and moving with his swing-up after the Tap, he can use more of the energy from his run to load the pole more during the plant/takeoff phase to the Tap.
