How to Improve High Jump Technique | And1 fans here

Instructions to MAKE your JUMP reach the maximum effort



Step 1

Run. Start your training by running. You will need to condition your body to produce adequate speeds. It will take a great force to get your body off of the ground and over a pole into a pile of cushions.

Step 2

Arch your back so that your stomach faces towards the sky. You will need to be able to arch your back while in mid-air over the pole. Use your abdominal muscles and arch your back and curl back up quickly. You will need to perfect this move so as not to injure yourself by landing on your neck backwards.


Step 3

Play basketball. Basketball players have to run at angles to produce a good lay up technique. The same curved running and jumping motion is used when completing the high jump. Practice this so that your feet can position properly and your ankles are able to lift you off the ground vertically.


Step 4

Balance on balance beams at the gym. This will help you find your center of gravity and know where you need to focus your energy on in order to get over the beam. This technique is very helpful to avoid injury.

Step 5

Practice the high jump before you enter any competitions. After trying it just a few times you will see what areas you need to improve in. Your mother was always right when she said, "practice makes perfect."
