It is very important. Generally, the tallest and heaviest boy in the team stands last.

The key to tug-of-war is not the amount of pulling force, but the amount of friction between the people on both sides of the ground! This is why when we always see tug-of-war, the side with more fat people often wins, not because they are stronger, but because they are heavier. According to the friction calculation formula, the greater the pressure on the surface, the greater the friction! Tug of war is easy to win.

1. Formation: from high to short. Because during the pulling process, the force is diagonally downward, so everyone's force will be unified. The stronger people should be at the front to attack, and the heavier people should be at the back, so as to achieve maximum efficiency.

2. The rope must be straight: it cannot be left or right. If one person goes to the left and one person goes to the right, it means that they have not pulled out, and the team is missing two people. Since he is the last one to control the rope, if it swings left and right, no matter how hard everyone tries, it will be in vain.

3. Pull forward posture: the front legs are straight, the hind legs are in a lunge, and the body's center of gravity falls backward. The lower the squat is, the better, but the principle is to be able to exert force. Everyone should lean back as much as possible, stretch their bodies back and straighten, and do not bend or squat. Wear durable shoes!

During the tug-of-war competition, the low posture is mainly used, that is, the hand is pulling the rope and the body is falling backward. The pulling force is not only the human strength, but also the force of gravity, which is very powerful. Yes, because strength + gravity, strength can be increased many times.

4. Distance: not too big, not too small. If it is too big, the rope will swing from side to side; if it is too small, people will collide with each other and cannot exert any force. Each player must maintain a safe distance of one meter (one arm between players) before and after.

5. Hold the rope: Before the competition, pull the rope as straight as possible. Otherwise, if the people behind use force and the rope bends, the force will be neutralized. The two hands are 20cm apart. It depends on the individual's arm length. Never wrap the rope around your arms or hands. It is only when someone wraps the rope around their arms that they end up with a broken arm. Generally, it is appropriate to put the right hand in front. The left and right hands should be close together and not separated when holding the rope. The palms of both hands should be facing up. When holding tightly, the hands should twist the rope slightly. At the same time, remember not to wear gloves. The correct posture of the body is that the rope passes under the armpits. The strength required to hold the rope is as long as the hand does not slip. Excessive force will easily lead to fatigue, so there is no need to use too much force at the beginning. The hand will naturally be able to hold tightly if the posture is good. In addition, the toes should be in front of the knees during tug-of-war, so that the force exerted by both feet will be in the correct direction.

6. Body posture: The body is facing forward and perpendicular to the rope, the chest is straight, the shoulders are naturally stretched back, the arms are clamped on both sides of the body, so that the rope grip is close to the center of the body, and the rope will naturally Pass through the waist on the right side of the body. The body is tilted basically in a straight line. The basic postures of holding the rope and upper body should remain unchanged throughout both offense and defense.

7. Lower body posture: Except for the "head rope" and "anchor man", the width of the feet should be one foot wide. Since the "head rope" and "tail rope" control the stability of a team, the feet should be slightly wider than other team members, and the "head rope" should be slightly wider than the shoulders. The "anchor man" should be wider. During the tug-of-war process, only the lower body needs to move, and the attack is carried out through the body axis movement of the three points of the foot support point, knee joint, and hip joint. In addition, whether you are attacking or being pulled, your feet should never be raised. It is better to move with friction.

8. Marching: Walk backwards together, keeping the center of gravity unchanged, but turning your feet backwards and facing your opponent, so that there is no chance of a sneak attack.

9. Rhythm: The cheerleading team is under unified command. If you encounter a strong opponent, use a long password.

10. Belief: You must have a desperate spirit when pulling out. No matter how strong the opponent is, you must drag him until he is afraid.

11. Endurance: You must know that when you have no strength, neither does your opponent, and your companion is still working hard, then even if you help him with a little strength, you may win against the opponent, so you must unite.

The actions and characteristics of each "rope position":

Key rope positions: The "head rope", "middle rope" and "tail rope" are the most critical for a team. The "head rope" is equivalent to the eyes, feeling the changes of the opponent, transmitting information to the coach and grasping the stability of the first team. The "middle rope" is played by players with better coordination. The "anchor man" is the core, controlling the stability of a team and using upper back strength, and is usually an important role played by the heaviest and most muscular player.

Team team cooperation: Communication and coordination between team members is very important during the game. If the previous team member is found to be pressing the rope, he should be protected and reminded in time to avoid affecting the actions of others. The "middle rope" is the commander who coordinates the front and rear.

Defensive posture: Use a low posture when defending. It takes a lot of strength for the opponent to pull the low posture, which can impose a heavy burden on the opponent. However, maintaining a low posture consumes a lot of energy, and reduces the friction of the feet, so you should be motivated to counterattack.

Offensive posture: Since it is impossible to attack with a low posture, medium and low postures are often used for offense. When attacking, use three-point body axis changes to attack. The foot movement should not be too large, let alone lifting the foot. The whole team's pace should be consistent.
