A "salto" is a term used in gymnastics and acrobatics to describe a jump or leap that involves a rotation of the body. It can be performed in various forms, such as a back salto or front salto, depending on the direction of the rotation. This skill is often seen in routines on the floor, vault, and trampoline. In addition to gymnastics, the term "salto" is also used in other sports, such as diving and cheerleading, where athletes perform similar aerial maneuvers. Mastering a salto requires strength, coordination, and practice to ensure safety and precision during execution.
