CONTENT OF THE LESSON
FIELD EVENT (HIGH JUMP)
The high jump is an athletic field event, which involves jumping up high over a crossbar.
Basic styles in high jump
5 Scissors style
4 Eastern cut-off
3 Straddle
2 The flu bury flop
1 Western roll

Western roll
The approach could be from the left side, at about an angle of 45o. The take-off foot strikes the ground with a pronounced bend at the knee. The body leans back and springs forward for a flight. Landing is on the hands and take-off foot (three-point landing).

Scissors style
In this style, the jumper’s take-off foot swings up the right leg, and lifts over the bar in a scissor’s like form. The left leg follows over the bar after the right foot, and the body leans vertically over the bar. The jumper lands facing the direction of the jump and on both feet

The flusbury flop style
The run is in a straight and curved line with speed. The jumper takes off from the right or left angle. The take-off foot is planted flat with the body leaned backwards? The knee is flexed with a high-body backward swing. The back of the jumper faces the crossbar as he lifts over it. In landing, the shoulder touches the ground first before the back and legs.

Straddle
The hand and trunk pass the bar at the same time. This is unlike the scissors style where the jumper faces forward when jumping, or the flop where he faces upwards.

Eastern cut-off
The approach run can be the same as that of the scissors style. At take-off, the leg nearer the bar is driven or swung into the air. As the hips rise, the jumper lays back so that his body faces upwards.

Assessment & Evaluation:
