Up (slow fall) is achieved by extending legs behind and arms out in front (like lying in the sun) with a de-arch at the hips like somebody has punched you in the stomach. Keep the head looking to the side to help the de-arch at the waist. 4, record 1, English, - slow%20fall
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Yes, you have to change your body position in an aggressive manner to the degree that it changes your fall rate, but I've also found that everything (even slow-fall) comes easier when I'm relaxed, calm, and emotionless. 2, record 1, English, - slow%20fall

On ne peut pas prétendre réellement qu’une partie du corps telle que le buste, sert uniquement à donner un taux de chute lent, ou qu’une autre partie telle que les jambes, sert uniquement à avancer. C’est en fait un tout, le corps entier doit s’engager dans une recherche de taux de chute minimal et dans une recherche de vitesse horizontale maximale. 1, record 1, French, - taux%20de%20chute%20lent
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Les grandes formations ont tendance à avoir un taux de chute faible : plus il y a de monde, moins le taux de chute est élevé. 2, record 1, French, - taux%20de%20chute%20lent

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The dramatic fall of interest rates over the last several years has set the stage for a rebound in interest-sensitive spending but limited employment growth and low consumer confidence make it difficult to say when this will occur. 1, record 2, English, - limited%20employment%20growth

La chute spectaculaire des taux d’intérêt au cours des quelques dernières années a instauré des conditions favorables à une reprise des dépenses sensibles aux taux d’intérêt, mais en raison d’une progression limitée de l'emploi et de la faible confiance des consommateurs, il est difficile de prédire quand cette reprise se produira. 2, record 2, French, - croissance%20limit%C3%A9e%20de%20l%27emploi
