A track athlete stands next to a high jump bar set up on the athletic field. The athlete wears standard track uniforms designed for vertical jumping disciplines.

Facts About the High Jump

The high jump is a track and field event where athletes jump unassisted over a horizontal bar set at measured heights. Modern high jumpers use a technique called the Fosbury Flop, leaning backwards over the bar to maximize their elevation. The horizontal bar is supported by two vertical uprights and rests loosely so it falls if touched.

  • High jump bar: high-visibility colors such as bright yellow, red, or white with black stripes
  • Support stands: durable painted metal, often silver, dark gray, or blue
  • Athletic shoes: specialized track shoes with spikes, usually bright neon or black
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

What is the high jump bar made of?
High jump bars are typically made from lightweight fiber-reinforced plastic or aluminum so they displace easily when bumped.
How high can professional high jumpers jump?
Elite male high jumpers can clear heights over seven feet and seven inches, while top female jumpers clear heights over six feet and six inches.
Why do high jumpers land on a thick mat?
A soft foam pit cushions the jumper's landing and protects their back and shoulders after clearing the bar from high elevations.
