Jumping for Height - Athletics is a resource which shall allow teachers to prepare the activities contained within this lesson from PE Resources Bank.

<p>In athletics, the technique of 'Jumping for Height' is a fundamental skill that involves the effective use of one's arms and knees. To maximize the height achieved during a jump, athletes are advised to use their arms vigorously. The upward swing of the arms contributes to the upward momentum, helping the jumper reach greater heights. This action is not just about strength but also about timing and coordination to ensure that the peak of the arm swing aligns with the jump's takeoff.</p>

<p>Moreover, when preparing to land, it is crucial to bend the knees. This practice is essential for maintaining balance upon landing and helps to absorb the impact, reducing the risk of injury. Bending the knees acts as a cushion, allowing for a controlled and stable landing. As athletes work on improving their jumping technique, they might consider adding variations to their training regimen. Experimenting with different exercises can enhance their jumping capabilities and contribute to overall athletic development.</p>
