Split

Subject classification: this is a sports resource .

A split is a physical position in which the legs are in line with each other and extended in opposite directions. Splits are performed in various athletic activities, including dance, figure skating, gymnastics, martial arts, synchronized swimming, and yoga.

When executing a split, the lines defined by the inner thighs of the legs form an angle of approximately 180 degrees. This large angle may demonstrate excellent flexibility of the proper muscles. Consequently, splits are often used as a stretching exercise to warm up.
