Track and Field High Jump Equipment
The high jump equipment consists of a thick rectangular landing mat placed behind a slender crossbar supported by two vertical upright posts. The mat provides a large landing area designed to absorb impact during athletic events.
How High Jump Equipment Works
Modern high jump mats are filled with thick foam layers encased in weather-resistant vinyl to ensure safe landings for athletes using techniques like the Fosbury Flop. The crossbar rests lightly on adjustable supports called pegs so that it falls easily if touched during a vault attempt. Official rules require landing mats to be at least two feet thick to cushion falls from height.
