Everything about Hand Walking totally explained
Hand walking is an unusual
bipedal form of
human locomotion in which a person travels in a vertically inverted orientation with all body weight resting on the
hands.
It can be executed with legs fully extended or with variations such as side or front splits, straddle, and stag. Hand walking is performed in various athletic activities, including
acro dance and
circus acrobatics.
Skills and technique
Hand walking is a skill that relies on a prerequisite ability to perform
handstands, which in turn requires good
upper body pressing
strength in the
deltoids and
triceps as well as a heightened sense of
balance and
spatial awareness. Because the body is inverted during hand walking, blood pressure in the brain is greater than normal.
As with other physical skills, one must practice hand walking in order to become proficient and develop adequate endurance. Handstands and hand walking are often learned at the same time because hand walking can be used to help maintain balance in a handstand before one learns to perform a stable handstand. Balance can also be maintained by varying the arch of the back.
