many people say that a vaulters run up is what is building there potintial energy which is sortof true but in reality however much the pole bends is the potintial energy of the vault
Potential you welcome bro troll
A pole vaulter has kinetic energy as they run with speed, potential energy as they use the pole to propel themselves upwards, and gravitational potential energy as they reach the peak of their jump.
Elastic Potential Energy
When a pole vaulter's pole has reached its maximum bend point, the potential energy stored in the pole is at its maximum, as the pole is under high tension. At the same time, the kinetic energy of the pole vaulter is also increasing as they approach the release point. The potential energy stored in the pole is eventually converted into kinetic energy of the vaulter as they propel themselves over the bar.
A pole vaulter converts chemical potential energy stored in their muscles into kinetic energy as they run. This kinetic energy is then transferred to the pole as potential energy. The pole vaulter is then lifted off the ground, converting the potential energy stored in the pole into gravitational potential energy.

Pole vaulter
The energy of the pole vaulter at a height of 4m above the ground will be in the form of potential energy. Using the formula for potential energy (PE = mgh), where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2), and h is the height, we can calculate the energy. The potential energy in this case would be 1960 J.
The vaulter may use a pole (under his/her wieght) to go over a cross bar. If the cross bar falls off before the vaulter is off the mat, it is counted as missed. A scratch is when a vaulter's pole hits the back of the box and the vaulter doesn't leave the ground. Besides that it's a unique event considering there are vaulter have many different techniques.
Steve Hooker, the Olympic pole vaulter, is 6'2" and is the third-highest pole vaulter in history.
