That back arch is so amazing to me. I always wanted to be a high jumper. I was fast and had good leg strength. I was a good long jumper and set a school record in the triple jump. But my back was always so flat in the high jump. My coach used to get so frustrated. Arch your back, hed say. Just wouldn't happen.

I'm doing atlethics in school at the moment. My class did high jump today, and i did alright, but next week we are going to jump over a meter. I know this doesn't seem much, but for us children, it is. Especially me, because i am very short and i'm only 4'9. Does anyone have any tips for me!? Wish me luck :)

Every time we did high jump in school, I’d be the only one with an adequate technique. I’ve always been very short so being at this disadvantage I developed my own way of doing this technique.
I recently did 1.30 at 1.60 in height and hurt my back the second time I tried. (the first was successful) I couldn’t even make it over the 1.5 bar after that. But today I jumped 1.15 again and got rid of my phobia.

I do wish I could take up competitive high jump, but I lack talent and height. So… yay me.

Me and my friends we're messing around with high jump and started the bar at 4" 2 then gradually went up bc most of us their where either 5" 6 or 5" 11 the people that actually did high jump that were there were 6" and 6" 3

i sure can arch my back since my back is very flexible.. my only problem is my height since my height is only 5'7

Where can I find proper training protocols for jumpers and periodization + strength training?

Para mim o esporte mais técnico de todos...
...
Esse, realmente, precisa de um biotipo muito particular...
...
E, muito, muito treinamento...
