HighJump Approach

In this video, we will detail the High Jump approach phase and why the runup is important, as well as ways you can work out your own high jump run-up. A high jump approach follows a basic J-style turn that creates a centrifugal force to propel the athlete around the curve of the J and up over the bar. This phase although needs speed also needs rhythm other wise you can lose control and get too much speed into the bar, therefore, running the jump.
