Full Out (Tumbling)

▲ ▼

description Full Out (Tumbling) Overview

A full out is a tumbling and gymnastics skill consisting of a double back salto with one full, or 360-degree, twist completed during the second salto. The timing of the twist distinguishes it from a full in, in which the twist occurs during the first rotation. The skill requires the athlete to combine two backward somersaults with controlled rotational timing and a stable landing, and it is used in advanced floor exercise, tumbling, and related acrobatic disciplines.

help Full Out (Tumbling) FAQ

What is a full out in tumbling?

A full out is a double backward salto with one complete 360-degree twist during the second salto. The name describes when the twist occurs, rather than adding a third flip.

How is a full out different from a full in?

A full in completes the twist during the first salto of the double back, while a full out completes it during the second. The different timing changes the visual spotting and body-control demands.

What is the difference between a full-out tuck and a full-out layout?

In a tuck, the gymnast bends the knees and hips to create a compact shape, while a layout keeps the body extended. A layout full out generally requires more height and precise timing because the extended body rotates more slowly.

Where do tumblers train a full out safely?

Progressions are normally developed with qualified coaching on a trampoline, tumble track, foam pit, or sprung floor before competition. A full out is an advanced double-salto skill and should not be attempted on a hard surface without appropriate supervision.
