Definição e Significado de "high jump"

What is "high jump"?

High jump is a track and field event where athletes attempt to leap over a horizontal bar set at a specific height. The athlete runs toward the bar, jumps, and tries to clear it without knocking it off its stand. The height of the bar is raised after each successful jump, and the athlete who clears the highest bar wins. The most common technique used in high jump is the "Fosbury Flop," where the athlete arches their back over the bar while flipping their body. Success in high jump requires speed, timing, flexibility, and strength to clear the bar while maintaining control.
