Do taller people have a longer horizontal jump?

Answer 1

If you mean in terms of vertical leap then the shorter person will most likely have a higher vertical because of a lower center of gravity and more body control. In terms of touching the highest point of a wall or something then the taller person will most likely get higher because their wingspan will be much longer resulting in a significantly higher standing reach. So the shorter person would have to jump a lot higher to come close to touching the same spot.

Answer 2

It depends on how strong that person is who is jumping and how fast he is!!!!!!

But resent studies show that YES in average shorter people or SMALLER people DO jump farther than taller people.!!!

Answer 3

Tall people generally have the ability to jump higher. They are already taller, and have the ability to get bigger with their high vertical leap.

Answer 4

Not always. Sometimes taller people will have a bigger vertical jump, but not always.

Answer 5

Yes, taller people can jump farther than fast people. They have the tendency to cross the distance.

Answer 6

no its all about the jump peeps
