📊 How many cm/in can you jump above your standing reach?

#Poll #BoostWelcome #Science #HumanBody #SportsScience #Curiosity #Mastodon

I used to think an average person who isn’t an athlete could only jump as high as the point their hand reaches when they stretch their arm upward.

But that’s not actually correct. 😅

Even an untrained person can usually jump several inches above their standing reach. The difference between your standing reach and your highest reach while jumping is called your vertical jump. 📏

Now I’m curious: How many inches or centimetres can you jump above your standing reach? 🤔

Internal gases would expand, exposed fluids could evaporate, and tissue swelling could occur. Consciousness might be lost within roughly 15 seconds. To make matters worse, holding the breath creates added risk of lung damage or air bubbles in the bloodstream.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦇🧠 A 2021 study found #blind and sighted people can learn click #echolocation in just 10 weeks.

Follow up scans by #Durham University researchers showed structural changes in the #brain’s visual cortex. A separate 2025 study examined how 30 million years of echolocation #evolution shaped dolphin and whale brains.
