High Jump

A mouse can jump approximately 12 inches high.

Iolanda Balas of Romania set a world record on September 21, 1959 of 1.84 meters. Balas held the world record for almost 13 years, first setting the record on June 7, 1958 at 1.74 meters and breaking it many times. Her best jump, and final world record, was 1.91 meters in July of 1961. That world record lasted for 10 years. The current women's world record is 2.09 meters set in 1987 by Stefka Kostadinova of Bulgaria.

Newborn kangaroo joeys are not measured by height, but by length. A newborn baby kangaroo has a length of just 2cm, which is less than an inch. It is without hair, and blind.

It then crawls into its mother's pouch where it remains for several months while it continues its development.

That's about 4 times the height of a grown man.

Cobras cannot jump

The long jump is where you have a long strip of sand which you run to and jump as far as you can along it whilst the high jump is where there is a pole which the athletes have to jump over and it gets raised every time each athlete has jumped. :)

Execution phase: As the athlete approaches the board the lead leg extends down onto the takeoff board, as the leg lands on the board it is used to push off which involves the gastrocnemius, the glutes, quadriceps and hamstrings as well as the biceps and deltoids used in the arms, this is happening as the other leg is usually at a 90 degree angle shown in figure H. The joints involved are the condyloid joints at the ankle, hinge joints in the toes and at the knee, and ball and socket joints at the hip and shoulder. Figure I shows the next phase of a long jump where you slightly bring your legs back to form flexion at the knee. This uses the hinge joint at the knee and the ball and socket joint at the hip, which uses the quadriceps, hamstrings and glutes as well as the gastrocnemius. Follow through phase: While the legs are being brought back, the arms are rotating around the ball and socket joint at the shoulder and then extending out in front of you to form extension. This uses the biceps, triceps, deltoids, trapezius and latissimus dorsi. The next phase is the extension of the legs before you land, which uses the gastrocnemius, quadriceps, hamstrings, latissimus dorsi and the trapezius; the joints the legs are using is ball and socket at the hip, hinge at the knee and condyloid at the ankle. Before you land, your legs adduct to finish off the jump and land correctly, with both feet together.

8 feet 2 inches.

It is 2.45 meters - the high jump world record by Javier Sotomayer of of Cuba. This is 7 feet 11 1/2 inches.

Jumping from two feet is not allowed since it is possible to perform a gymnastic tumble ending with a final bounce from two feet which would permit a higher jump. Basically it's limited to one foot to maintain the event as it is currently known, but the high jump is NOT the highest a human can jump unaided, and so it not a 'pure' event like the long jump, or 100m.

Javier Sotomayor is a male

At a track and field meet you can participate in the high jump competition where you run in a "J" formation at a bar held up by 2 standards, and is held up above a 2 foot mat. The bar is set at a certain height and is increased by about 2 inches every round. You will get 3 attempts at every height and are out after you knock the bar off 3 times using up your 3 attempts for that height. Another way to calculate how high you can jump is to find your vertical jump height. This one I don't know too much about, but I will tell you what I do know. You measure the difference in the height of your head, your standing height and the highest point your head reaches.
