Do you jump over the bar correctly in high jump?

December 20, 2016 by David

High jump over the bar correctly

One of the common problems people experience when doing the high jump is that they don’t maximise their centre of gravity over the bar. The second major error that they tend to make is that they travel along the bar and end up landing on the bar, when they could have easily cleared the height. […]

How should you do high jump if it is rainy or wet conditions?

December 20, 2016 by David

High jump in the rain

Every high jumper dreads having to jump if it has been raining or if the ground is wet. Even slight dampness in the ground can make a huge difference to your run-up, take-off approach, jumping ability off the ground and safety. Ideally, you won’t have to jump in these conditions, however there will be times […]

Is endurance training good for high jumpers?

December 20, 2016 by David

Do I need endurance to be a good high jumper?

Endurance and stamina training are good for conditioning the body to do more intensive exercises, but it shouldn’t be at the heart of a high jumper’s training regime. There is nothing wrong with a high jumper having the speed endurance to run a 400m sprint in under 60 seconds, however if you train a high […]

Zhu Jianhua High Jump knee drive

You can break down the phases of the high jump into factors that will contribute towards 80% of your performance and other factors that will contribute towards 20% of your performance.

Improve your vertical jumping ability in high jump with hurdle jumps.

December 20, 2016 by David

Trey Hardee Hurdle Hops (Plyometric jump exercises)

When I was training for the high jump, this was my favourite plyometric exercise because it greatly improved the elasticity in my legs. What this means is it made me feel more ‘springy’, thus it was much easier to jump higher. It is a plyometric exercise that I would encourage all high jumpers to include […]

White men can’t jump? Neither can any other ethnic race except black! That is simply not true.

December 18, 2016 by David

High jumpers

It’s time to separate fact from fiction. Ever since Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson graced shared their basketball skills on screen, the phrase “White men can’t jump”has been an assumption in society. It goes a bit further to assume that the best jumpers or even athletes in the world are of black heritage. There are […]

December 18, 2016 by David

Do I need to be tall to do high jump?

No. There’s an association with the best high jumpers in the world being tall, but some of the most talented high jumpers in history weren’t that tall. Stefan Holm is the most renown short high jumper from recent years. At a height of 1.81m (or 5 feet and 11 inches), the Swedish high jumper was […]
