Teaching HANGS
Stationary Positions:
1) Supports
2) Hangs
3) BalancesHangs are those activities where the centre of mass is suspended directly below the base of support. They are the most stable of the stationary positions.
Safety first. Plan hanging challenges in safe situations. Keep them low but physically demanding.
