tuck position
Knees to chest
The tuck position is a compact body shape used in gymnastics, diving, and other acrobatic activities.
The knees are drawn tightly to the chest, the body curled into a ball, and the hands typically grip the shins.
This position reduces the body's radius, allowing faster rotation during flips and somersaults: She executed a double somersault in the tuck position.
