The change in energy of a person jumping off a rigid diving board is from potential energy at the top to kinetic energy at the bottom. At the top, the person has potential energy due to their height above the ground, which is converted to kinetic energy as they fall towards the ground.
Yes it is. A diving board is a Class 1 lever. The fulcrum is the screws that hold the diving board in place (the rigid part), the load is the person and the effort force is the force the person exerts when he/she braces herself/himself to jump.
When a person is jumping on a trampoline, they have potential energy at the highest point of their jump, which is converted to kinetic energy when they are moving up and down. This energy conversion continues as they jump, with potential energy being converted to kinetic energy and back again.
Kinetic energy is the energy of movement as the person jumps over the hurdle, while potential energy is stored energy due to their position above the ground.
Examples of gravitational potential energy include a book sitting on a shelf, a ball at the top of a hill, and a person standing on a diving board.
Its a bad example, but some potential energy is involved. You convert chemical energy from the fuel to kinetic energy and heat energy. The kinetic energy drives you into the water. There the car sinks because of the height difference and gravity. This is a form of potential energy. A better example would be a person driving up and down a mountain. When driving up a mountain you store kinetic energy into potential energy. On the way down you regain the potential energy you stored, which results in a higher kinetic energy when driving down.

Jumping and diving so much can be damaging to the knees if they are not protected safely. It also takes a lot of time from a person.
In English, we have first, second, and third person, but no fifth person. Each person has a singular and plural form.Past progressive forms of jump:I was jumping (first person singular)We were jumping (first person plural)You were jumping (second person singular and plural)He/she was jumping (third person singular)They were jumping (third person plural)

When a human jumps on a trampoline, the energy transfer involves the conversion of potential energy from the initial height to kinetic energy as the person moves downward. As the person starts to move back up, the kinetic energy is converted back to potential energy. Some energy is also dissipated as heat and sound during this process.
A person that is good at it.
A person could change the stored energy in a lump of coal into chemical energy by burning the coal. Combustion of coal involves a chemical reaction that releases the stored energy in the form of heat and light energy.
