I've been searching online about long jumps. As in how far can an average human jump horizontally. In our case, how far a ledge can we jump if the ledges were parallel in height. LOL. There were many answers, some say 3ft, some say 8ft for guys, 7ft for girls. But I found a website that is pretty comprehensive that i'll like to share with everyone.
Apparently, for a normal Adult Male (non athlete) Jumping >3.0m(9.84ft) and for a normal Adult Female (non athlete) Jumping >2.8m(9.18ft) is considered excellent.
Normal adult males and normal adult females who jumps 2.5m(8ft) & 2.2m(7ft) respectively are considered average.
Athletes on the other hand, are expected to fly to a distance of 3.75m(12.3ft) for male and 3.15m(10.33ft) for females to be in the 91st percentile.
The good news is with small little techniques we have in Parkour, we can jump 12ft easily. LOL! NO kidding. We've tested it and tried it out. It's tiring, but it's possible. You just have to break free and free your mind HAHA!
The techniques are slightly hard to explain here so come join us in our GYM sessions on Fridays 7pm-830pm to find out more!! Let us know if you wanna join!!
ps: the longest jump is currently at 8.83m(29ft). CRAZY!!!!
