Asked by Wiki User

The men's World Record in the high jump was not broken in 1968. The WR at the time was 2.28 meters (7 feet 5 and 3/4 inches) set by Valery Brumel of Russia in 1963 and was not broken until 1971 when Pat Matzdorf of the United States jumped 2.29 meters (7 feet 6 and 1/6 inches). However, the Olympic record was broken that year by Dick Fosbury of the United States who jumped 2.24 meters (7 feet 4 and 1/4 inches) and broke the old Olympic record of 2.18 meters (7 feet 1 and 3/4 inches) held by Valery Brumel of Russia. The women's World Record in 1968 was 1.91 meters (6 feet 3 and 1/4 inches, set in 1961) held by Iolanda Balas of Romania and was not broken until 1971 by Ilona Gusenbauer of Austria who jumped 1.92 meters (6 feet 3 and 1/2 inches).

Asked by Wiki User

== == On 19 July 1988, at a performance in The Hague, the Chinese acrobat Yan Zhi Cheng jumped (without trampoline or any assistance) through a hoop of which the lowest point was measured at 246 cm. He used two legs to set off, so his jump isn't the official world record. However, it is the highest human jump ever recorded. Source: Guinness Book of Records 1989.

How high can a bison jump?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They can jump close to 6 feet vertical, which much higher than cattle. This is the main reason why a bison producer has to have his or her bison handling facility fences at a height of 8 feet to handle bison.

Additional info:

A bison normally would respect a fence unless he is pressured in such a way that he and the rest of his herd need to find some way to escape, or if he's alone in a pasture and is desperate to get to his herd which is on the other side of the fence. A bison will even wreck a solid board fence in a bison handling facility if he can't see his herd-mates when being pushed through to the squeeze.

The "stick" itself is just called a pole or a pole vaulting pole.

The poles are named by their length and maximum weight it can hold. For instance, a pole that is 12 feet tall and can hold a pole vaulter with a maximum weight of 130 pounds is a 12 foot 130 pole.

Does the weight of the shoe affect how far you jump?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For the same leg strength / jumping technique, weight affects how far one can jump.

Acceleration = Force / Mass

With more mass, you cannot accelerate yourself as much when you jump with the same force. Imagine trying to jump with a small backpack full of sand strapped to your back. Your strength hasn't changed. That is, the amount of force you can deliver hasn't changed, but your mass has. You can't jump as high.
