Abstract
The article examines pole vaulting as a demanding track and field discipline, where athletes use a flexible pole to clear a high bar. The study explores the research challeng-es associated with this discipline, including the impact of pole material, the physical capabilities of the vaulter, and the vaulting technique on performance. The paper pre-sents a new Finite Element Analysis in ANSYS, focusing on energy conversion in the pole-vaulter interaction. Simulation results highlight the influence of pole stiffness and length for jump height, as well as the impact of synchronization between pole and pole positions on performance. Finally, the article highlights that pole vault performance is intrinsically linked to the pole vaulter's specific movement and ability to optimize interac-tion with the pole. This deeper understanding can help improve individual performance in this demanding athletics discipline.
