How would you describe the leg position and action in External Rotation Wide?

• A. Jumping pattern with legs externally rotated and wide
• B. Legs together with a knee bend
• C. Feet plantarflexed and parallel
• D. Single leg stance

Answer: (A)

External rotation with a wide stance describes how the hips are turned outward and the legs are spread apart. This combination is typically associated with a jumping pattern, where the body uses the outward-rotated, wide leg position to generate power and maintain stability during takeoff or landing. The other descriptions don’t fit because they either keep the legs together, describe foot position without hip rotation, or specify a single-leg stance, none of which capture the wide outward rotation and dynamic jumping action.
