Summary Comments : [Veritasium] What's The Best High Jump Technique?

Th**********:

i started doing highjump about 3 years ago, i was about 12 or 11 at the time. When i ran up to the bar i just naturally did the Fosbury flop, like it was in my instincts. That day i got a old record of 1.45 metres, last year was my highest jump with a height of about 1.60-1.65 metres at the age of 14. When i was 12 i was about 5'7", last year i was 6ft and couldn't dunk, now i'm 15, 6'1 and can dunk, hopefully my record gets higher next year.

Jo*******:

A few things that were totally misrepresented here.... 1. the flop is about somersaulting. It is actually a forward and side flip. 2. The straddle is actually still valid because of the strong arm and leg actions. 3. The center of mass is very close to the bar, but the straddle has a higher COM takeoff position. The flop allows you to run faster and is maybe more forgiving on the knees.

mi*******:

3:51 where the epicness starts.

Sa***************:

Derek's or someone's voice or laughter cracks me up at 1:40 xD

Ka**:

This is a great video. What is the music at 0:09 and then again at 3:51? It's really great!

Br********:

I thought your left knee was going to break at 4:09. haha I'm a physical educator, big fan of biomechanics and how physics in general can be used to improve human movement increasing it's performance and safety. Great video. Thank you.

Mn***:

Give Derek a break. Sure, he could've included more of the actual physics involved, but he's taking time off from chilling in London, to make videos for strangers on the internet. :)

Thank you, Derek!

Also, 4:20 brace for imaginary pain.

bo******:

That was Bing jumping at 0:56! :D

Ma***:

amazing!

but one thing sucks that we can't just bend down and than can go up, like a horse or tiger :o
that'd be great, we can do that, but we need a trampoline for that
02:37 kinda like this! :D but than without turning your body haha!this is nice!!!

Aj***:

I'm suffering to get the track name at 4:00 ! I tried shazam , sound hound and I ended up with nothing !!

Al****:

3:36

Au*********:

I like watching tutorials because my school doesn’t have a coach, so I was all self taught until this video showed up.

Re*:

I think that it would also interact with the skydiver theory because If you try to land on your feet you will fall faster but land on your back you will fall slower

AC**************:

The video is cool - great visuals & nice pace - but not very informative...

Apart from the fact the Fosbury allows the jumper to clear a bar without having to raise the center of mass as much as other techniques, we don't really get into the physics of high jump ; and even that is only a partial explanation: the roll jump also lowers the center of mass, it's just harder to jump as high like that.

I know these videos take time to make, I just hope you can get more science into the next ones. :)

Cr*********:

Bing! :o

Ka*****:

The song at the end reminds me of vsauce :D

Da*******:

...and here I am with a 4’10” jump damn

co*******:

"You can fly?!"
"No. Jump good!"

Mi************************:

Lol I was jumping today for my first time (I jumped but not as a practice) and I jumped about one meter high

Ma*********:

Good stuff.  In 1975, 39 years ago in my 8th grade track meet I cleared the bar at 5 feet, five and one quarter inches (~1.66m), beating the standing school record by one quarter of an inch.  I approached from the right and used a classic western-roll.  Cheers, Mark
PS:  I still have the blue ribbon.

Al************:

So when doing the high jump in school I guess you want to try whatever you can to start off with as high center of mass as possible and end with as low center of mass as possible to maximise efficiency.

Kr***:

i had a high jump theme in PE and on my first try i hit the bar and i feel on it with by backbone

cr***:

anyone else heard '2 minutes 22'? xD

Ge*********:

I love high jump, it's one of my favourites, I'm 13 years old and I can jump 1.50 I wish I was taller than what I am.

As*********:

shi technique special look it ashish gupta trainer by high jump bihar new technique

An************:

Watching videos like this has made me a better high jumper in high school. We never had a coach to teach high jump so I've been watch videos like this since I was a freshman. I'm a senior now and my junior year I became a state qualifier. I placed 11th in the state which is pretty amazing I think. It all thanks to videos like this.

Ma****:

This is at my local track OMG

My*************:

this is my first year going into track, and this is gonna be very helpful

Ar******:

Hey us that my boy big miney salvia's theme? I'd bounce on my boy's high jump record to this!

Sl************:

Excellent - his jumps are so graceful in slow motion.
Thanks!

Ca**********:

wow I wish I could do this for track. I cant do this for my life :P

Fa***********:

i knew i couldnt sleep for some reason i geuss i was waiting for this

Ga*****:

Love this video and this channel... Makes high jump such a beautiful sport to watch in a diff perspective :)

Pa************:

Hi derek!
Could you make more videos explaining physics in other track and field events?
I think this one was nice and, being a jumper (triple jump), would like to see more!!!!!!

fa*****:

thank you! now those techniques are clear to me :')

We*****:

I know high jump is about getting as high as possible but jumping and landing with your feet is the truest jump in my opinion.

It's the hardest and if you can do it as high as you can it's amazing, the straddle and Fosbury techniques feel like a little bit of "cheating" for me.

I can do the Fosbury Flop but I still can't do the Scissor kick jump nicely.

Li*************:

When I saw your YouTube name I thought of Verita Serum from Harry Potter

Ca********:

With an expert jumper as this one, the movement is so musical and so harmonious between different parts of the body, so gentle and to achieve that motion and trajectory the human mind must be as alert and as sharp and as strong as any muscle in the body. The timing must be perfect. To me a good high jumper seems to need the same conditions as a power engineer who goes to achieve only one harmonic from an electric generator and that is all the energy must be restricted to the fundamental waveform and not the harmonics. In fact when athletes and dancers, including ballet dancers perform their bit, one can immediately see if the performer is wasting energy in adding unnecessary motions. Even in horse racing, one can detect a good racing horse through noting that the horse's movement does not contain any unnecessary " harmonic" except the very fundamental motion, as energy will be wasted. There are many clumsy people who produce unnecessary motions in their manner of walking and running, and the graceful movements seems to win all the time. There seems to be an economy of energy in grace and elegance.

do******:

I'm here because over the past months I've really been looking into going to the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games for for high jump
from inspiration to my favourite athlete, I've just turned 16 last month and I'm not even close to being the height of the high jumpers I'm between 170-180m, is it possible for me to to jump as high as they do even though I'm not as tall? I believe so if I get a good amount of training in because I really want to jump with these legends, maybe I'll grow throughout the next months

Ru*****:

I actually went to compete in a sports tournament where I participated in 1.5 km run and high jump, it was for people from 8th grade to 12th and I was in 8th and I pretty much made a fool of myself. I thought people were going to run slow at 1500m but everybody went on at super speed from the beginning, never really trained in how fast to run on average and then straight up eliminated in the 1st round of high jumps so, I was clearly athletic at least more than my average age but I guess it's also about techniques.
