description Full Twist (Layout Full) Overview

The full twist, also called a layout full, is a gymnastics tumbling skill that combines a straight-body layout back salto with one complete 360-degree twist around the body’s longitudinal axis. The gymnast leaves the floor, rotates backward while maintaining an extended body position, completes the twist, and lands facing the opposite direction. It is practiced by gymnasts and tumblers developing aerial orientation and twisting control.
