How does high jump work?

In the high jump, a latte as high as possible must be crossed without it falling. There are different jumping techniques for the crossing, the only requirement is that jumping off with one leg. Meanwhile, the Fosbury flop, named after Dick Fosbury, is the first to use this technique. For the flop you take straight, then in a slight curve start-up and turns at the jump so that one jumps with the back first on the crossbar and then follows the legs. After the jump, the jumper lands with his back on the mat and rolls off.

The construction of a high jump facility

A high jump system basically consists of a jump cushion, two jump stands and a high jump lath resting on it, which is skipped. The high jump cushion rests on a slatted frame made of wood or aluminum and has an additional mat layer on top, the so-called wear mat, which protects the core of the mat and thus extends its service life. It protects the main blocks from spiked nails and can be exchanged cost-effectively after prolonged use. If the high-jump mat is not used, the system is protected by a weather-resistant rain cover and at best by a mobile safety cover to protect against wind and weather.

For international competitions the high jump mat must not be smaller than 6 x 4 x 0,70m, for other competitions not smaller than 5 x 3 x 0,70m.

Our Matte Aero Dual Cavity System has channels that are evenly spaced across each other for even smoother landing. Both systems are perfect for crossing larger jump heights. The covers of our high jump mats are made of sturdy and tear-resistant tarpaulin fabric with a mesh fabric over the Schleißmatte, the bottom consists of a non-slip gym mat material.
