Jumping question?

Question

Why can I jump higher standing still and jumping up, like they do at the NFL combine, rather than running and jumping. Most people get more height when they run and jump, so what does that mean?

Answer 1

"Most people get more height when they run and jump, so what does that mean?" No actually, it's the other way around. Running up and then jumping makes you jump FARTHER; not higher.

Hope this helps!~~~
