High jump. The Fosbury Flop was named for its inventor, Dick Fosbury of the United States, in the 1960s and is the technique used by all high jumpers today. The Flop is where the jumper runs diagonally towards the bar, jumps, and turns over crossing the bar face up and head first. Prior to the Flop, jumpers used the Straddle technique which is where they would cross the bar from the side with their left/right side crossing the bar first and their entire body over the bar at one time.

High Jump also in Golf. notice how players that hit the ball a long way employ this type of motion. especially golfers in long drive competition. they tuck their hips underneath them and this stretches out the spine just as the fosbury flop does with high jumpers
