do people jump higher when they jump with one or two feet?

Question

also do people jump higher when running or standing in one spot then jump?

Answer 1

i jump higher with two. thats probably because its twice the momentum then just one.

Answer 2

I would think I jump higher if I jump with two feet.

If running, I do not think that I jump higher than when standing still, I just jump "longer".

At least that's the feeling I get, but I have not often had the opportunity to measure my jumps. And I don't jump that much in the first place anyway.

Answer 3

Two, doubled p/f of torque and when they are running because of same reason.
If I were being chased by a lion, I would certainly use two feet to get me into that tree where he would still eventually make me his dinner and I would certainly make a running leap and not just stand at the base of the tree and hope I leap high enough and fast enough to not be killed instantly.

Answer 4

I am 5'7 and when i run and jump off 1 foot i am grabbing over rim but when i run and jump off 2 feet i tip rim

Answer 5

2 ft will push you off the floor larger. leaping has each and everything to do with your legs. subsequently why gamers hardly bounce off one leg for a jumpshot, because of the fact they want the elevation utilising the two ft to upward thrust up larger. they only take one step jumps whilst they want that extra step to get to the basket for a layin or dunk.

Answer 6

I think with 1 foot

Answer 7

two feet with a running start.

Answer 8

I think with two feet

Answer 9

Yes, they do.

Answer 10

dunno but it reminds me of that song

"jump a little higher jump jump!"
