Sebastian´s first proper high jumping session in Oslo, since his knee operation 18 months ago. He is 16 and growing towards 1.90m tall. We have trained a lot at Bislett Stadium, running and jumping in a straight line, all pain fee. Bislett indoor section was rebuilt 2 years ago with a stupid low roof preventing proper high jumping on the only indoor Mondo surface in Oslo. Last week we ran some run up trials to calculate the best approach for Sebastian, using my Run Up Calculator. I chose an 8 stride approach, 3 straight and 5 on the curve. This will give a larger radius to his curve, keeping the twisting forces on his legs and knees low. I set his take off angle at 35 degrees to avoid any chance of pronation at take off, this will also keep the radius high, and a take off point of 50cm along the bar and 80cm out. I did this to encourage him to jump with speed from the beginning and to give him plenty of room to drive his knee over the bar. Sorry about the focus on the video, my partner Julia is getting used to the Canon 550D for the first time, standard zoom objective used. The camera is placed at the centre of his curve and filmed in 1080p at 25 frames per second (1 frame is 0.04s). The length of curve, which is drawn out in calk on the floor, is 8.43m with a radius of 8.77m.
