Question

I am 13-years-old. I do jump rope inside my house, is this okay or should I do it outside only?

Community Answer

If you have a large space with relatively high ceilings that is free from breakable objects, it is probably safe to jump rope in that area. Otherwise, keep it outside. Also, make sure you have permission from your parents before jumping rope indoors.

Question

Is it harmful to do a front flip without a spotter on soft surfaces?

Community Answer

If you're a beginner, yes, you could hurt yourself without a spotter. If you've been doing front flips successfully for a long time, you can probably do without a spotter.

Question

What is the distance between the take off board and the landing area in triple jump events?

Community Answer

It depends. In my middle school, they have different lines that you take off on depending on how good you are. The closest line is 10 ft away from the pit. The next line is 15 ft away and the last line is 25 ft away from the pit, but I'm sure that it varies depending on the pit you jump in. The best thing you can do is bring a tape measure and measure it.

Question

Should I jump up or down?

Ruah

Community Answer

Whenever you jump, you will always go up. Your landing depends on whether or not you are down. Being down means being closer to the ground.

Question

I'm having a struggle jumping up instead of out. I just naturally go out in long jump and pole vaulting, What should I do to fix this?

Kasey Smith

Community Answer

It might be harder for you to jump up because of your muscle memory. To fix this, you can try jumping flat footed. If this doesn't help, try doing it while leaning backward slightly.

Question

Do I jump with my toe or heel?

WikiBoat

Community Answer

You should be landing and pushing off with your toes. The heel is sensitive, so make sure not to let it take any heavy impacts.
