The paper investigates the correlation between the quality of the salto forward tucked on the floor and the jump take-off characteristics. The main biomechanical characteristics of the take-off and their influence on the performance of the salto forward tucked were examined. The task focuses on the movement analysis during the take-off and determines which factors most influence the quality of the performance. Thirteen male gymnasts aged 11-13 were examined, where it is expected that the quality of the take-off and the performance of the salto forward tucked is closely related to the level of skill and motor abilities of the individual. Each of them performed two long jumps, two vertical jumps and two saltos forward tucked. The results of the study showed that the accuracy and quality of the take-off is crucial for achieving the appropriate height, angular velocity and reliable landing, which significantly contributes to the overall success in competitions.
