description Chest Roll Overview
The chest roll is a ground-based acrobatic movement in which the performer rolls across the floor with the chest making contact instead of the back. The body stays low while weight moves across the torso, and the arms and legs help guide the direction and control the landing. It is used in introductory gymnastics, tumbling, and movement training as a basic rolling pattern.
