Maximum effort is applied during this phase of the backtuck. All possible joint movements need to be used to create enough force to complete the backtuck and land on the feet.

Maximum velocity is applied during this phase of the backtuck. The use of joints in order from largest to smallest helps to create enough velocity to complete a full rotation.

Ex. Knee joint➖Ankle joint➖Metatarsophalangeal joint➖Proximal interphalangeal joint➖Distal phalangeal joint

Linear motion involving impulse is applied during this phase of the backtuck. A great increase in velocity is required to complete the full rotation of a backtuck. This means that the applied impulse must be greater too in order to increase velocity.
