jumping technique
How to vault
Jumping technique refers to the specific form and mechanics used to propel the body off a surface—the coordination of limbs, timing, and body position that determines height, distance, or style.
Athletes develop jumping technique for their sport: Her triple jump technique needs work on the hop phase.
The term appears in contexts from basketball to ski jumping to track and field, where proper technique distinguishes elite performance from raw athleticism.
