If you know what a toe-touch is, then a straddle jump is nothing more. The only difference is gymnast keep their arms up by their ears, unlike cheerleaders who reach their arms out to their toes.

In a straddle jump, you swing your arms up and bring your legs up on either side with your toes pointed.

What is difference between straddle jump and side split jump in gymnastics?

A straddle jump in gymnastics involves jumping into the air with legs extended outward to the sides, forming a "V" shape while maintaining a seated position in the air. In contrast, a side split jump requires the gymnast to leap and split their legs to the sides in a full split position while airborne. The key difference lies in the positioning of the legs: the straddle jump keeps them together at the hips, while the side split jump fully extends them apart. Both jumps emphasize flexibility and strength but differ in execution and body alignment.
