Ever wonder how a cat can leap off a tall fence and land silently without getting hurt?
They use their legs like built-in springs to soak up the force of the fall, and your body can do the exact same thing.
Every jump follows a coordinated three-phase jumping sequence: takeoff (force generation), flight (airborne body control), and landing (force absorption).
Before you can land like a pro, you have to know how to launch into the air.

Dynamic arm action powers this movementβ€”swing arms back in the prep crouch, then drive them upward and forward for lift and propulsion.

The Takeoff: Loading the Spring

A great jump begins in a crouch: bend your knees and hips with your feet shoulder-width apart, swinging your arms back behind you.
To launch, swing your arms upward and push through the ground from your heels up to the balls of your feet.
Going up is easy, but what happens when gravity pulls you back down?
