Thats a very complex question, as well as very debatable. If you search the technique forum and look for any models of vaulting, they are good indicators of a ton of the energy systems used. Mainly its just the vaulter-pole system. Putting your energy into the pole in the most efficient way.
The greater the challenge, the more glorious the triumph
