Let an agent explain jumping, relay biomechanics, sport and dance techniques, animal jumping and cultural traditions from biomechanics, sport science and ethnography sources, describe the named forms and flag unverified aliases, relay injury and fire safety, and distinguish jumping from hopping, leaping as a near-synonym, falling and flying.

Thing Registry Activities and processes

Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain jumping, relay biomechanics, sport and dance techniques, animal jumping and cultural traditions from biomechanics, sport science and ethnography sources, describe the named forms and flag unverified aliases, relay injury and fire safety, and distinguish jumping from hopping, leaping as a near-synonym, falling and flying.

The action of propelling the body into the air using the legs, a basic locomotor skill in humans and many animals, studied in biomechanics through measures such as the vertical jump, central to sports such as high jump, long jump, basketball and volleyball, and to dance, as in the ballet cabriole where the legs beat together in the air; the registry aliases also include streamlined dives into water, jumping catches in cricket and baseball, ritual jumping over fire in festivals such as Chaharshanbe Suri in Iran and Kupala Night in Slavic traditions, and Grenhopp and mellanhopp, which could not be verified and may name Scandinavian folk or sport jumps. Jumping injuries include ankle sprains and ACL tears, and fire jumping carries burn risks.

What it is for: Moving through the air under one s own power.

It can be explain biomechanics; relay sport and dance techniques; describe cultural traditions; relay injury and fire safety.

Distinguishing features

Leg-powered takeoff

Flight phase

Landing forces

Sport and ritual uses

What it looks like

Bodies leaving the ground with bent then extended legs.

Physical character

men s high jump world record: 2.45 m - Javier Sotomayor, 1993, check current

men s long jump world record: 8.95 m - Mike Powell, 1991, check current

Chaharshanbe Suri: last Wednesday eve before Nowruz note

How it is recognised

Propelling the body into the air with the legs

Streamlined dive, vertical jump, cabriole, jumping over the fire, Grenhopp and mellanhopp, jumping catch

Hopping uses one leg repeatedly; leaping often emphasises distance; falling is uncontrolled descent; flying uses wings or machines

What the second pass must settle

  • The registry alias Grenhopp and mellanhopp could not be verified and should be reviewed
  • Should fire jumping be a separate entry?
  • How should current records be kept up to date?
