Jump is a basic skill in acrobatics, gymnastics and athletics. It is also an excellent indicator of the development of the body, because uses almost all the muscles in the body so much that you can increase the indicators by a dozen centimeters even without loading your legs at all.
Instructions
Step 1
Learn the technique. A good jump from nature is not given to everyone, but this is more than compensated for by the correct technique of execution. There are many types of jumps - triple, standing, flossberry flop, scissors and the usual running jump. They are drastically different from each other, so there is no universal technique. However, it can be noted that many novice athletes pay too little attention to the work of the shoulders and the additional "jerk" in the air, which occurs due to a sharp ungrouping.
Step 2
Develop your shoulders. As stated above, shoulder work is one of the key aspects of the jump, and is just as important as the correct push off the ground. If you stand up to the full height of the room and try to jerk your arms up (using the entire joint), you will feel how you will be thrown into the air without any effort of your legs. To enhance this effect, you need to develop the upper part of the body, achieve high mobility, and the best way to do this is a horizontal bar. Hang in with a wide grip and turn your palms towards you. Now roll over, threading your legs under the bar, and slowly lower yourself down. If the grip is wide enough, the shoulder joint will be able to "twist" and you will find yourself facing forward again. Be careful - if the grip is narrow, then you run the risk of dislocation of the joint.
Step 3
Train all kinds of jumping in parallel. This is especially true for extreme sports tied to footwork - for example, parkour. Having correctly set up a running jump and having learned to "fly" at sufficiently impressive distances, you will thereby cease to be afraid to jump from a standstill with large differences in altitude. On the other hand, a high jump with "scissors" will allow you to correctly set the angle for lifting into the air - the problem of many novice athletes is that they do not push off the ground at an angle of 45 degrees, which is why they do not fully use their potential.
