Try to pump your arms more, fast, and make it reach far; also, on your last arm pump, try to arch your body forward, and jump! I hope that helps.

Standing long jump is based on the same muscle that u use for squats. Leave your legs hip length apart. Then launch off the ground and swing your arms. Toe first helps. -Lindy48e

You get three attempts for each whether you make them or not you're supposed to jump 3 times. At the end, your furthest jump is finalized and compared, the jumper with the furthest jump is granted first place. High jump is scored based on height achieved. When a jumper knocks the bar off, it is called a miss. 3 misses during a height and the jumper is finished.

To qualify for the long jump you have to stay behind or on the blue board. If you go over you automatically get a scratch. Three scratches and you're out.

Who holds the men's world record in the standing jump?

Both the standing jump (straight vertical) and standing long jump have not been Olympic events since 1912, when they were discontinued. Ray Ewry held all the standing jump records, with his standing long jump record of 3.47 meters being most impressive until the sport was discontinued at the world level in 1938. There are rumours of 3.6 having been accomplished since, but since it is no longer a world class sport, they are difficult to verify.
