How many muscles used in high jump?

Answer 1

Because you are constantly on your toes and making vertical jumps, the calf muscles are used a great deal in jumping. It also uses the quadriceps (front of the thighs), hamstrings (back of thighs) and glutes (buttocks) for power and strength. Adding in different moves where you travel forward, backward or side-to-side as you jump, will also engage the smaller stabilizer muscles in your lower body.

Answer 3

Ideally your whole body will be used while doing jumping.

But the primary muscles involved will be your leg muscles (quadriceps, hamstrings, calves) and the muscles of your lower back, abdominal and but muscles..

The lung and heart muscles function at their optimum to compensate the stress on these muscle groups...

I would say the hamstring, gastrocnemius, and quadriceps muscles are used when you jump.
