Gravity is what gives us our weight. Weight causes downward resistance to our legs and jumping muscles. This slows down how fast we move, as well as less resistance of upward inertia.

On the moon the force of graivity is much less, and thus our muscles have less resistance, and our upward inertia will continue more than if there were more gravity.
