I really appreciate this video. I am my team's only high jumper so my coach doesn't even bother with me but this video taught me the stuff they never did.
I was a 7' jumper in college... but I only had an eight-step approach, so my speed was low and my "J" wasn't that great. I wish I'd known then what I know now!
The J curve is the way the modern jumper compensates for having to rotate away from the bar on take of. It uses angular momentum and a hinge point on take of to allow the jumper's speed to carry them over. But the J curve means the jumper can keep their centre of mass low prior to take off and making the take off more efficient because the CoM is already coming up just as the jumper plants the take off foot. The jumper the "hinges" from, leaning into the curve to achieve an absolutely vertical position with a perfectly straight body as they leave the ground, which is critical to a good take off. Always initiate the turn with a straight body lean, Never do it by pointing your feet. Also, try to keep the body straight, rather than leaning from the waist and run tall.
Hello Ravi, thanks for the request, we'll definitely consider that for upcoming videos. We do cover that in the master class www.xpollinationproductions.com/high-jump/
Best high jump video I’ve seen in a long time. This helps me immensely as a middle school track coach trying to fill the void left without a true high jump coach. PRs coming soon!
Sir i jump with round technic and my PB is 5ft. And i want to learn this technic. and how can i learn this technique, i don't understand it. so sir please can you help me.
Hi, this video is really helpful! How do you calculate the radius of the curve? I know this is unique to each athlete, but struggling to teach just how much of a curve to run. Thanks!
Thanks, glad it helped. Calculating the radius of the curve in high jump is a bit tricky because as you mentioned it's unique to each athlete. It will really depend on their stride length, speed, and takeoff angle. Also, they have to be comfortable with the approach. Unfortunately, there's no easy formula for this because it varies so much from jumper to jumper. In Coach Baily's high jump master class Jumping Smarter, Jumping higher he really focuses on the point that an athlete’s approach should not be calculated, it should be discovered. And there is a detailed process to accomplish that starting with the takeoff and working backwards. A good starting point is a drawing a 17 foot circle and making adjustments from there. Keeping in mind that the larger diameter of the circle the greater the speed and force and vice versa.
Could you please do a video explaining the techniques and benefits of doing ramps? I notice you use a flat platform but I assume the principle is the same. Thank you.
We're going to be filming a high jump training video series next month so I will definitely add that to the list. If there are any other training topics/ideas please let us know.
Hi, I do high jump, I'm under-16 and I went to compete in the Brasileirão and what bothers me a lot is the lifting of the calf, I can't lift it and it always gets in the way
Please help me. Last year I was jumping my PB of 1.55 and now I won’t jump or take off the floor at 1.40. I know I can jump it as at 1.35 I’m so far over I could clear 1.55 easily, yet when the bar goes up to 1.40 I can’t attempt it. I just run up to the bar and then stop and won’t jump. I’m not sure why and I need your help please.
PingU That’s awful and it’s really frustrating as well because i know I can jump that high, it’s just somethings stopping me. I hope you will be able to get over it x
5 step is the most common but there's no "one size fits all". Fosbury's original runup was more direct and he had only three curve steps. I have a copy of it somewhere. There's a remarkable contrast in women's high jump at the moment, especially among the Ukrainians. Yulia Levchenko and Irina Herashenko train together under the same coach. They run a totally consistent 5 step curve. Yaroslava Mahuchikh, who has a different coach, uses a much flatter, more direct approach. You can see it in any event where there is a decently placed camera behind the pit.
I would add that nothing forces you over the bar. You are an object in motion and when you jump up while running a curve, your body will continue in a straight line which is tangent to your curve position or in simpler terms perpendicular to the radius of your curve circle. If that doesn't make sense, think of a wallet put on the dashboard of a car when the car turns. The wallet appears to fly towards the outside of the car, but in fact it is just continuing in the same direction it was going before the turn. The car is actually sliding under the wallet which gives the illusion that the wallet is being pushed towards the outer door. This illusion that something is pushing the wallet outwards is commonly said to be caused by a centrifugal force. There is no such thing as a centrifugal force, it is an illusion. It is hard to explain and understand this, but to witness this, put a golf ball on a large flat board, walk straight and then turn. Watch the golf ball keep going straight. Object in motion stays in the same motion unless acted upon by a net force.

Great height, especially for only 8 steps and sounds like you could have gone even higher.

Hi sir very nice video , sir please Video on do measurement curve and how many steps half approach and full approach ? High jump
Hello Ravi, thanks for the request, we'll definitely consider that for upcoming videos. We do cover that in the master class www.xpollinationproductions.com/high-jump/
Athlete dude we all know what you actually mean but the word you’re looking for is forward momentum.
Best high jump video I’ve seen in a long time. This helps me immensely as a middle school track coach trying to fill the void left without a true high jump coach. PRs coming soon!
Heck yeah! Keep us updated, good luck.
Sir i jump with round technic and my PB is 5ft. And i want to learn this technic. and how can i learn this technique, i don't understand it. so sir please can you help me.
Thank you for this video! My son is having trouble keeping his back arched. Last year his PR was 6’8!!
Glad it was helpful! That is a great PR, sounds like he has a ton of potential.
Hi my height is 167cm n i jumped 190cm without coaching n I still looking for improving myself 😅

Good Luck!
I'm Indian player
please Im in Ghana and i will like to train with you sir

@@OutperformOfficial Thanks very much. I look forward to seeing it. 🤗
thanks for this video evyertime i jump ive got the height but land on the pole
You can try implementing back-overs prior to your jumps training. Also, check out the videos we posted on rotating over the bar, should help.
Amazing video thank you!
allow your approach to take care of the jump
Yes! Thank you!
Awesome video

Its Holly same problem idk🤷🏽♂️
Apparently I’m a high jumper and this is my first meet nothing like going in blind
thanks for the helpful video
You're welcome!
Hi, I’m teaching high jump for the first time. Any tips ?
Learn as much as you can about the event. Most countries have grading systems for coaches.
This is my second year doing high jump and this year i have been struggling with jumping into the bar instead of up and over it. i’m hoping this helps
It should, check out the rotating over the bar video ruclips.net/video/XEwgyzynR7w/видео.html
❤️💯❤️💯
why do you suggest a 5 step curve? Is it so they don't have to run at the bar cause they ran straight for to long?
5 step is the most common but there's no "one size fits all". Fosbury's original runup was more direct and he had only three curve steps. I have a copy of it somewhere.

Are you going to make more long jump videos
Thanks for the suggestion. We'll be filming more track and field videos this year so there is a possibility for more long jump videos.
@@OutperformOfficial ok good
It's nice
HELLO EDUARDO
Good explanation, but it's not "gravity" taking you pver the bar as the jumper says, it's inertia that you built in your run up.
It's angular momentum.
I would add that nothing forces you over the bar. You are an object in motion and when you jump up while running a curve, your body will continue in a straight line which is tangent to your curve position or in simpler terms perpendicular to the radius of your curve circle. If that doesn't make sense, think of a wallet put on the dashboard of a car when the car turns.
