This worksheet summarizes the evolution of different techniques in high jump. It outlines the main phases of jumping events - the starting run, take-off, flight, and landing. It then provides a table analyzing the student's attempts at different high jump techniques - frontal jump, simple scissors, ventral jump, and dorsal/Fosbury flop. The student was unable to clear 90cm on their first two attempts at frontal jump but cleared it on the third try. They failed on their first two attempts at simple scissors at 1m but cleared 80cm on the third try.

FALSE
Starting run - this is 1º
the period of time
where
the
athlete 2º FALSE
gathers speed for the
take-off.
FALSE
Take off - this is the
transition between the
run and the jump with
the athlete propelling
their body into the air.
•
Flight - this is the
period of time when the
body
is
airborne,
sending
them
horizontally away from
the starting point in the
long jump or triple
jump and vertically over
the bar in the high
jump.
•
Landing - this is the
point at which the
athlete finishes the
jump
marking
the
distance (in the case of
the long jump and triple
jump) that they have
travelled through the
air.
