A standing broad jump, not too far. A running jump, much further. And there are tricks, such as running and tossing weights backwards, which adds further distance to the jump.

No it doesn't because the taller you are the shorter the distance you jump when you get measured
Why does an athlete run certain distance before taking a long jump?
Its to build up forward momentum so that when they jump they already have a forward motion that would be greater than that of a jump made from standing in one spot. You need forward momentum to get a good long jump and the best way is to have a running start.
How far can the average boy jump?
Depends on age and size and method. Less distance is traversed in a standing broad jump than in a running jump. Too, there are tricks that can be used.
How does momentum affect how far you jump?
you're body weight builds momentum which accelerates the speed and or distance
Can sprinting spikes be used for long jump and short distance running?
I do long jump, triple jump, and 100m and they work great. But it depends what you consider short distance. work for everything 400m and under. it has no padding on the heel so jumping with sprinting spikes can cause injury.

How far can the average person jump?
It depends on if your running before you jump. If not you can probably jump 5 to 8 inches over your height. The reason why i sat 5 to 8 is because it depends if you are a man or a woman. :)
Why does an athlete take a longer jump if he comes running from a distance than when he jumps suddenly from the take -off line?
Because he already has forward momentum.
What is tripple jump?
