Best Answer

At a Track and Field meet you can participate in the high jump competition where you run in a "J" formation at a bar held up by 2 standards, and is held up above a 2 foot mat. The bar is set at a certain height and is increased by about 2 inches every round. You will get 3 attempts at every height and are out after you knock the bar off 3 times using up your 3 attempts for that height. Another way to calculate how high you can jump is to find your vertical jump height. This one I don't know too much about, but I will tell you what I do know. You measure the difference in the height of your head, your standing height and the highest point your head reaches.

To Be A Competitive High Jumper You Should Be Able To Jump To Your Elbow.

To Be A Good High Jumper You Should Be Able To Jump To Your Shoulders Or Higher. Of Course, It Depends On How Much You Weigh, And How Long Your Legs Are, But That's Just A Basic Way To Tell! I'm 11 Years Old, I Weigh 89lbs, I'm In 5th Grade, And My Record Is 1.30m.

----------

If you run up to the high jump bar, and do a 'pop-up,' if your shoulder blade is above the bar, you are capable of jumping it. Of course, my shoulder blade is above 4'10" (at least), and I usually only get 4'6" so it really depends on your form in the air.
