Standing split. What is it and how to do it?

Standing split. What is it and how to do it? A standing split refers to any position where the legs are in a 180-degree line from each other or the hips are opened 280 degrees and the person is standing.A standing split can be a leg in front of the body, on the side of the body, or in the back of the body. A torso can be vertical with head directly above the hips. A torso can be dropped down with head close to the floor. Or the torso can be anywhere in between. The hands can hold the leg, such as in bow and arrow pose. The leg can be held up by its own strength, such as in a Developpe. A full split may be a prerequisite to a standing split. For example, a vertical martial arts side kick is considered a standing split, and an open front split is a prerequisite to that. However, a standing front split with a leg directly in front of the body is a hamstring stretch and is not a true split. Strength and balance requirement for the standing splits. Strength and balance requirement for the standing splits. If you are standing on one leg. There will be more balance requirement than if your hands would have been on the ground. For example, a standing front split with a leg up in front and a torso vertical requires more balance than when the body is dropped forward and the hands are on the floor. Although technically it's exactly the same position.The strength requirement is much greater if the leg needs to be held up by itself.For example, Bow and arrow pose where a leg is held by the hand has a lot less strength requirement than Developpe a la Second or the tilt. Flexibility is a catalyst of both strength and balance Flexibility is a catalyst of both strength and balance. The more flexible you are, the more comfortable you would be in any of the standing split positions and thus less compensation would need to take place. Less twisting, turning, bending the hip, rotating the knee, bending the knee, going up on toes, twisting the spine, and so on. And because of lack of compensation, less compensation or no compensation at all, if you're very flexible, there's going to be a lot less requirement for balance.Flexibility also helps strength. In other words, if you're trying to hold, a side tilt and you want to hold your legs in a straight line a 180 degrees apart, you need an OVERSPLIT. Because if you can just do a regular split, it will take tremendous amount of strength in your hips to hold that position since the muscles that are being stretched will be fighting the ones that are holding the position.
