Tug of war is about legs and waist, not arms. So the center of gravity should be as low as possible, the body should lean back as far as possible, and the center of gravity should fall behind the support point. People's center of gravity should be in the back, that is, feet in front and body in the back. Don't pull with your hands, but use your body weight.

1. High profile:

In an upright position, try not to bend over or bend your knees, but lean back with your body center of gravity and keep your feet sliding.

Advantages: the weight can be supported by bones, so the muscle burden is light; It is not easy to wrap the rope, and the pressure on the soles of the feet increases for the floor.

Disadvantages: it is difficult to clamp the rope under the arm, which greatly increases the dependence on grip strength and increases the burden on the palm; The center of gravity is high, but when it is out of balance, it is easy to attack the other side.

2. Intermediate position:

The body is opposite to the front of the opponent, the waist and knees are properly bent, the thigh position is kept horizontal or slightly higher, and you are ready to straighten your feet at any time.

Advantages: the center of gravity of the body leans backward relative to the high posture, and it is not easy to lose balance when being pulled by the other side; When the knees and waist are properly bent, a great force (pulling force) can be obtained by straightening them by force; It can increase the friction pressure between the foot and the ground.

Disadvantages: Because of the need to maintain the bending state of knees and waist, relying on muscle strength to support their own weight and pull the other side, it increases the muscle burden and is easy to fatigue; It is difficult to keep the middle posture for a long time, and it is easy to cause movement deformation.

3. Low profile:

The position where the legs are lower than the middle position.

Advantages: deliberately changing from a high posture or a middle posture to a low posture can instantly increase the tension on the rope, while adopting a low posture requires a lot of effort, but at the same time it will cause a great tension burden to the other side.

Disadvantages: it is easy to lock the rope and foul on the ground. In order to keep a low profile, it takes a lot of physical strength; The friction between the sole and the ground is weak, so the friction between the sole and the ground cannot be fully utilized.

Posture adjustment: the situation on the field is instantaneous, and the winner must quickly adjust the body posture of the players at any time according to the needs, so as to win. This requires athletes and commanders to cooperate closely and immediately adjust their players to their own favorable posture to defeat each other. According to the previous analysis, we can draw the basic principles of posture adjustment:

1) There is enough friction on the field. When the opponent pulls forward with a high center of gravity, the whole team should lower the center of gravity appropriately to maintain balance. When the two sides are deadlocked, the players with high center of gravity posture can use the high center of gravity posture to move backwards with greater flexibility, lower the center of gravity, and the whole team suddenly moves backwards to beat the other side with explosive force.

2) When the friction coefficient is small (such as cement floor), the posture with high center of gravity should be adopted to increase the friction and prevent the fulcrum from moving. When the team is in a low center of gravity posture, the whole team can suddenly raise its center of gravity and launch an explosive attack. When being pulled forward by the opponent, the center of gravity should be properly raised to increase friction to prevent sliding, and both feet can pedal in sequence, because the static friction coefficient is greater than the sliding friction coefficient, and the maximum static friction generated when pedaling is greater than the sliding friction, which is conducive to maintaining the balance of the body against the opponent's pulling force.

The application of the basic posture of tug-of-war;

1. Basic posture: Don't bend down, but stretch all over. 2. Body direction: Never press the rope sideways. 3. Standing preparation: bend the outside of the knee and focus on the heel. 4. Muscle strength: Keep your arms straight to your legs. 5. Keep your body axis. 6. Use weight: keep a proper posture and don't be too low. 7. Leg angle: supported by bones, not muscles. 8. Tug of war begins.

Second, grasp the rope method:

The rope passes through the inside of the right elbow, and the right wrist is twisted inward, so that the palm is upward, and the left hand is placed in front of the right hand. The wrist grip is the same as that of the right hand, and both palms should be upward. The rope held by the left and right hands should be close together and not separated.

As long as your hands don't slip, it's easy to get tired if you hold the rope too hard, so don't use too much force at first. If you have a good posture, you can naturally hold your hand tightly.

Main points ※

1. Keep your palms up. 2. Keep your left and right hands close together.

3. Don't push too hard. 4. The feeling of pulling to the side

Almost all the strength of the rope is transferred to the rope by hand (a small part is the underarm clamping force); If the grip strength (endurance) of the hand is not large or correct, it will not be able to exert its due strength.

Third, the width of the foot.

A natural posture in which the feet are shoulder width or slightly wider than the shoulders. If your feet stand too wide, the thigh muscles are heavily burdened, and you are easy to get tired and your posture is easy to become too high; So the center of gravity is easy to lose stability, which makes the rope move sideways and step out of the sideline.

Fourth, the anchor: the anchor is the protagonist of the team. Different from other players, the anchor can pass the rope from the underarm around the back to the opponent's shoulder, and then bypass the underarm to clamp it. Clip the rope under the right armpit, hang it on the left shoulder and clip it under the left armpit. This is the most powerful position.

Fifth, when tug-of-war, you should wear flat shoes with rubber soles instead of shoes with heels, which can increase the contact area with the ground and increase the resistance. Remind everyone that if the posture is not correct, tug-of-war will cause waist injury. Athletes can wrap a wide linen cloth around their waist for protection. In the process of tug-of-war, it is easy to fall. The last player should be vigilant and observe the dynamics ahead.

Sixth, all players should have the confidence to win and tenacious fighting spirit. They should work with the conductor and our cheerleaders to create an overwhelming atmosphere and take the lead in spiritual strength. Only in this way can we fight and the war will be won.
