A front flip, also known as a forward salto, is an acrobatic maneuver that involves rotating the body forward 360 degrees around the transverse axis. The front flip is a fundamental skill in gymnastics, cheerleading, diving, and other sports. It can also be performed as a recreational activity or as part of a dance or martial arts routine.
Front flips require a combination of strength, flexibility, and coordination. The movement begins with a powerful jump, followed by a tuck of the legs and a forward rotation of the body. The arms are typically extended overhead to help generate momentum and control the rotation. As the body completes the flip, the legs are extended and the arms are brought down to the sides to land softly on the feet.
