Some animals, such as the kangaroo, employ jumping as their primary form of locomotion, while others, such as frogs, use it only as a means to escape predators. Jumping is also a key feature of various activities and sports, including the long jump, high jump, and show jumping.
Classification
One way to classify jumping is by the manner of foot transfer.[1] In this classification system, five basic jumping forms are distinguished:
- Jump - jumping from and landing on two feet
- Hop - jumping from one foot and landing on the same foot
- Leap - jumping from one foot and landing on the other foot
- Assemble - jumping from one foot and landing on two feet
- Sissonne - jumping from two feet and landing on one foot
- Bound - a leap onward or upward
