Lever a fixed point. The lever operates by applying forces at different distances from the fulcrum, or a pivot. Assuming the lever does not dissipate or store energy, the power into the lever must equal the power out of the lever. As the lever rotates around the fulcrum, points farther from this pivot move faster than points closer to the pivot. Therefore, a force applied to a point farther from the pivot must be less than the force located at a point closer in, because power is the product of force and velocity. If "a" and "b" are distances from the
Front lever lever, straddle front lever, and finally on to the full front lever. At any stage of learning the skill the gymnast may perform pull-ups in the front lever position of their choice. A front lever held with just one arm. The body is often turned sideways in this variation The body is kept horizontal while the gymnast performs a pullup. In this variation the performer leans forward from the lever position, bringing the legs down and arms up until he/she reaches the top of a regular pullup. From here they lean back again, straightening the arms and returning to the
