Prerequisites:
- Basic fitness and athletic ability
- Good ankle flexibility and mobility
Technique:
1. Approach:
- Begin with a short run of 5-7 steps.
- Take off with your dominant leg, placing it on the ground about 1-1.5 meters from the bar.
2. Take-off:
- Spring off your take-off leg, driving your knee towards your chest.
- Swing your other leg over the bar first.
3. Over the bar:
- Arch your back and extend your arms fully over the bar.
- Tuck your knees into your chest to clear the bar.
4. Landing:
- As you clear the bar, land on your back in a pit of soft material.
Training Plan:
1. Ankle Flexibility:
- Perform ankle circles, stretches, and dorsiflexion exercises to improve ankle mobility.
2. Core Strength:
- Engage your core muscles during exercises like planks, crunches, and leg raises.
3. Leg Strength and Power:
- Include exercises like squats, plyometrics (box jumps, depth jumps), and bounding runs in your training.
4. Approach Drills:
- Practice the approach run and take-off technique by setting up small hurdles or cones.
5. Over-the-Bar Drills:
- Use a low bar and jump over it without the need to clear it. Gradually increase the height as your technique improves.
6. Progression Plan:
- Start by jumping over low bars (e.g., 1.5 meters) and gradually increase the height as you become comfortable.
- Focus on clearing the bar with proper technique rather than height initially.
Tips:
- Wear comfortable and supportive shoes.
- Warm up properly before jumping.
- Get feedback from a coach or experienced athlete to improve your technique.
- Be patient and persistent. High jumping requires time and practice.
- Stay hydrated and nourished.
- Listen to your body and rest when necessary.
