Jumping

“Perfection is not attainable but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.” (Vince Lombardi) A great example of this is Jan Martens The Dog Days Are Over, a dance that features eight dancers who focus on one physical action: jumping. These eight dancers push themselves to the limit in order to achieve perfection, an impossible feat, performing a continuous and tireless movement as they create an physically intense piece. In a black box theater, the dancers begin standing, shoulder to…

while calf size and vertical jumping are displayed in centimeters. There is a slight negative correlation. Meaning, as the body weight/leg circumference ratio increases, the vertical jumping height decreases. The body weight/leg circumference ratio ranged from 1.6 to 2.34 on the x-axis. While vertical jump, displayed on the y-axis, ranged from 24.5 centimeters to 38 centimeters (Figure 6). Figure 7 displays the body weight/leg circumference ratio and vertical jumping. In Figure 7, the body…

30 m), jumping, and intermittent endurance (through the Yo-Yo test) are all commonly assessed. In performance, the field players were faster in intermittent endurance than goalkeepers, while sprinting didn’t vary among the positions. Goalkeepers did, however, obtain the best results in jumping (Iglesias-Gutiérrez). However, in a different study of 180 Portuguese U19 soccer players that were tested in agility and the aspects previously listed, goalkeepers were found to have better jumping,…

Participants were asked to do 25 jumping jacks at a steady pace. We tested the participants’ heart rate, blood pressure, and pulse not only after they engaged in the jumping jacks, but before as well. We also checked the person’s heart rate, blood pressure, and pulse after they had enough time to rest. The purpose of this experiment was to grasp how physical activity, such as 25 jumping jacks would affect human homeostasis. “Exercise causes many homeostatic…

Athletes occasionally perform jumps by using both legs before takeoff and after the landing on the ground. Based on James Christopher Radcliffe (1999) the starting position and initiation methods -when jumping for height- have significant value. There are several types of jumps such as squat jump, countermovement jump and depth jump. Squat jump is when the athlete want to perform a jump without a pre stretch movement, which executing a vertical jump from…

would leap for the bucket of jump ropes. We all loved to sing our nursery rhymes and see who could jump the longest and I was nowhere near the best. Of course jumping rope alone got boring so we started to use the big ropes and jump in groups. Eventually that became unappealing as well and we decided to try something completely new, jumping with two ropes. It was nearly impossible to do. How do you spin two ropes at once without having them get caught on each…

of the family was there. Every one of my cousins and my brother and sister were jumping off of a cliff ointo the water. I was mortified byof the thought of jumping into the water from that height. Everyone called me chicken for not jumping. The thought of being more chicken than my big brother, who is, by the way 15 seconds older than me, made me so furious. I decided that I would show them who’s chicken by jumping off of the cliff. I pulled myself onto the edge where the grass and water met.…

“Tuck and roll” that’s what they say when jumping off or out of a moving vehicle but that didn’t work for me. I was about five years old, I was visiting my grandparents that I hadn’t seen in a while. I was riding with my dad on a four wheeler and I was having fun until I felt the four wheeler jump, and then I turned around to see my dad jumping off. That was when I got scared. I tried to drive it, but with my family, chasing and yelling for me to jump off it was hard to do. When I did try to…
