According to the ISU, the salchow jump is an edge jump. Its takeoff is made from the back inside edge of one foot and its landing is made on the back outside edge of the opposite foot.<ref name="mediaguide"/>{{rp|p. 13}} The skater enters into the jump with a backward approach, launches it using his or her inside edge, and lands on the opposite outside edge.<ref name="park">{{cite news |last1=Park |first1=Alice |title=How to Tell the Difference Between the 6 Figure Skating Jumps You'll See at the Olympics |url=http://time.com/5131773/guide-figure-skating-jumps-olympics/ |accessdate=28 March 2019 |work=Time Magazine |date=22 February 2018}}</ref> The free leg is extended behind the skater and swings toward the front as he or she springs into the air while, at the same time, drawing in his or her arms.<ref name="usfsjumps">{{cite web |title=Identifying Jumps |url=https://www.usfsa.org/content/Identifying%20Jumps.pdf |publisher=U.S. Figure Skating |accessdate=28 February 2019 |page=2}}</ref> Skaters do not have to draw in their arms or free leg close to their bodies while performing the single salchow because bringing the free side of their bodies forward and around the opposite side of their bodies after they turn towards the back, is enough to produce the necessary rotation.<ref name="cultureonice"/>
The rotation in the air, with respect to a fixed point, is slightly less than 360 degrees because the takeoff edge curves in the same direction as the rotation in the air. When a skater pulls the arms into his or her body and/or brings his or her free leg inward, more rotations can be performed; for this reason, the salchow is "usually the first jump that skaters learn to double, and the first or second to triple".<ref name="cultureonice">{{cite book |last1=Kestnbaum |first1=Ellyn |title=Culture on Ice: Figure Skating and Cultural Meaning |date=2003 |publisher=Wesleyan University Press |location=Middletown, Connecticut |isbn=0819566411}}</ref>{{rp|p. 284}} As [[U.S. Figure Skating]] states, however, "timing is critical"<ref name="usfsjumps"/> because both the takeoff and landing must be on the backward edge. A salchow is deemed cheated if the skate blade starts to turn forward
