Improve your High Jump Technique

[antid1]

I am 15 years and i can jump 1.85 m :)

[PaoloRi95]

will doing pushups and pullups help in speed and high jump?

[HUGOVANTA]

a-away from the bar :D

[satana9111]

i can jump 210cm,but im tall 211 cm...i play basketboll and hogh jump...:)

[ChrisKaloy]

i think that's about 1.60-1.70

[TheGillottBoy]

i can jump 1.55m and im in yr 7

[NeoWaker]

Does anyone else just curl up into a ball mid air when they try this?

[Sl0gg]

Whenever I high jump I hold my arch for too long and end up clipping the bar with my heels even though my body is way over the bar. Any advice??

[jrtruthguy]

@Sl0gg Most 'heel clippers' can remedy that by merely tucking your chin once the hips have cleared. That breaks the hips and the leg will rise.

[HaZa1396]

im 5 days old and i can jump 2.46 m

[HelloImAWESOME7]

do u jump with ur weak foot?

[sahme4]

Just a question, How high is the bar and how tall is he?

Should I be jumping that far out form the mat, how much out form the mat should I be jumping when I do jump?

And also, when should I turn my head?

[ConfusedPyroManiac]

I jumped 4'5 actually, my bad.

[TheGofer13]

i have a friend who jumps 5'4" and is barely 14

[TheMaskedMusician01]

Ummm... Only 10, I made it for high jump on track day... Going to York University to verse other elementary schools... Thanks for this video really helpful... Going June 16... IM SCARED!!!

[2coolgabe]

Go closer and bend your knees give u better height. My teacher could jump better and one of my classmates could sciser kick it.

[damiqde6uq]

what's your PB ?

[JRBouncerz2010]

I wish I could jump as high as that because I have been picked for sports day heats and one of my events is the high jump. The last time I could only jump over the bar at a hight of 1 meter 10 cm. I really want to get higher.

[samyounk58]

I am 13 and I can get 150cm in high jump

[yepponepixy]

It's a good video for amateurs, but im a high jumper, and your technique is not perfect. you jump too far from the lath. well...its not a huige problem for u...this sport is about centimetres, not about technique. congratulations! :P :D ;)

[Flax220]

[cavaliers2380]

he jumped from too far out

[Toniix0x]

@cavaliers2380

at least he got over it !!!

[TheShoopski]

@cavaliers2380 shoulda used an 8 stride.

[ozzyfan307]

@cavaliers2380 True, but atleast he made it... If he jumped closer to the pole, chances are he would jump higher...

[MrDeltaMaster]

@cavaliers2380 you jump from where you are comfortable...

[42willard]

[MrKarlozz]

[MrMrbananaman]

@MrKarlozz a 1.40 is so bad im 13 and a i can just 1.72

[robert1231231]

i got the same shoes :)

[chaidi13]

oh come on now the height of the bar is 1.65 to 1.70 not 1.80!

[pgjonine]

this guy jumps 2.10. the bars low cos he showin technique 4 a vid

[highside77]

15 and i can jump 1.85 :)

[Jesse4Jezza]

I'm 14 and only 5'10" and I got 145cm today.

Not that great, but I broke the schools record for year 9.

[thumbsupfriend]

id say its about 1.90 cos he looks about 6ft and its a little over his head

[foxyboi7]

14 and can jum 1.65 ;)

[megastaunch]

I don't know if it's just me, but i get really sore shins after like 5-6 jumps.

Why is this, and how do i prevent it? I need advice really soon.

[ajmagicmasters]

the height of the bar is 1.80m everyone

[r2fteachpe]

Interesting . . . what makes you think that?

[ajmagicmasters]

@r2fteachpe i think that because the bar is taller than the athlete by about 5-10 cms i think and he looks about 5foot 7-6foot and at where i do high jump 1.80 looks about how high that is.so what is the height ?

[TheWassupppp]

@r2fteachpe its 1.70

[MartinsTech]

@ajmagicmasters nah lower like 1.70

[JonathanTopping]

@ajmagicmasters 5 feet? actually isn't all that impressive considering how they do it. If he jumped that without leaning over it, then I would be impressed.

[maxalexmcd]
