They are firmly planted on the ground and are usually made of steel or welded or cast aluminium, to endure all conditions and ensure maximum rigidity and energy feed-back. The crossbar has evolved over time from a triangular aluminium bar to a round fibreglass bar with rubber ends.
A typical 9-stride approach might be to build speed consistently on strides 1,2,3, accelerate through 4,5,6, start lowering the pole on 7, last burst of speed on 8, followed by the plant and take-off on 9.

The origins of modern vaulting can be traced back to Germany in the 1850s, when the sport was adopted by a gymnastic association, and in the Lake District region of England, where contests were held with ash or hickory poles with iron spikes in the end. The first recorded use of bamboo poles was in 1857.

The skills involve Grip, Run-Up, Pole-carrying, Takeoff, Hang, Swing, pull-up and bar clearance, landing and Recovery. Grip: The pole is carried in the notch between the thumb and the index finger. The front arm should be held high and close to the chest with the wrist cocked back.
