Types of twine and their features
There are several types of twine, but they all have important common biomechanical provisions:
- The legs are placed in opposite directions, visually forming a single straight line.
- An angle of 180 degrees or more is formed between the inner thighs.
- The pelvis always tucks forward correctly and safely.
There are two main types of twine: transverse And longitudinal.
Cross twine
Cross splits is rightfully considered the most difficult to master. With it, the legs are spread strictly to the sides. To do the cross splits, you need to do not only stretch the muscles and ligaments, but also perform training aimed at significantly improving the mobility of the sacrum and hip joints.
Interestingly, this type of twine is often easier for men due to the structure of the male pelvis. In women, the hip adductors are usually more developed, which makes it difficult for the muscles in the back of the thighs to open the legs as easily.
Longitudinal twine
Achieving longitudinal twine is somewhat easier. With it, the legs are spread back and forth. There are left-sided and right-sided splits (determined by the leg extended forward). This type of twine is often easier for women. Men are hampered by strong posterior thigh muscles, which require longer relaxation.
