Cartwheel (gymnastics)

The Cartwheel (also: handspring sideways) is an acrobatic gymnastic exercise. He is a sideways rollover executed, with hands and feet in each case greater distance on an imaginary or existing line (use eg balance beam ). A cartwheel is like a wheel, but a cartwheel is executed with greater momentum and the feet are "beaten" in the air together. If one then rotates even by 90 degrees, it is Radwende or " round- off".

Different variations in the implementation:

  • Dynamic: The gymnast takes off and lets himself fall sideways on the outstretched hands. The body then turns with outstretched legs around its midsection like a somersault, the previously taken enough momentum from, to bring the wheeler back in the booth.
  • Static: Without start to increase, the wheel gymnastics from the lunge ( the momentum is sufficient). The wheel is just stoned and just above the bottom of the upper body is turned and finished on the hand stand with her ​​legs spread the movement sequence.
