World Athletics recommends the use of video support for judging horizontal jumps at all competition levels – amendment to Technical Rule 29 of the International Competition Regulations. The systems offered by professional manufacturers are not available at levels below national championships – and even there, sometimes not at all. The app has already proven its worth at the German Combined Events Championships and has become the standard at the Lower Saxony State Championships. With the camera function, the recording device (recommended: Apple iPhone) can be optimally positioned next to the takeoff board. The evaluation device (recommended: Apple iPhone or, even better, iPad) can be placed, for example, with the scorekeeper or near the official. The devices detect and connect effortlessly – Wi-Fi is not required. The evaluation device can connect to multiple cameras (alternately) (e.g., during the triple jump). Advantages of the Jump Control: • No Wi-Fi required • Compatible with iOS 16.2 and later • For all horizontal jumps • Multiple cameras possible (e.g., for triple jump or parallel landings) (one at a time) • High accuracy through optimal camera placement Attempts can be saved and shared with athletes and coaches (AirDrop, email, etc.) • 60 to 240 frames per second (camera dependent) • Integrated spirit level • Energy optimization: Camera screen dimmable when connected to the evaluation system • Optional guide lines facilitate evaluation • One app for camera and evaluation • Simple licensing model – no subscription required NOTE: The stability of the connection between the evaluation device and the camera(s) depends on external conditions (such as other interfering devices in the vicinity, distance between camera and evaluation device, etc.). Since these cannot be influenced by the provider, continuous functionality of the solution cannot be guaranteed.

About

High Jump Analyzer

Read full description

This app will push the limits of your high jump performance by providing comprehensive insights into your explosive power, takeoff forces, and overall efficiency. Each jump is analyzed using advanced physics principles to measure takeoff power in watts, vertical velocity, kinetic energy… ensuring you have the data necessary to optimize your technique and achieve peak performance. The app works best when your camera (or phone) is held wide and it is held still. The jumper should be allowed to move through the frame as they run, plant, takeoff and move toward the camera as they finish their jump. After you save you video with your camera or camera app, you load it from your photos. Press the markers button to set the bar, pit and takeoff. Then the set up button to input basic info, and finally the analyze button. After you save the analysis, it can be found in the app's history tab (top left), and it can be copied from there. Our Performance Scoring System delivers an unprecedented overview of your jumping mechanics, awarding scores up to 100 points across critical phases such as approach, plant, takeoff, and flight. With detailed breakdowns, you can see exactly where your strengths lie and where improvement is needed. Tailor your training using automated recommendations based on your performance, ensuring you focus on areas that will yield the greatest results—whether it’s enhancing your speed, refining your technique, or boosting your explosive power. This high jump video analysis app provides advanced biomechanics analysis, physics-based metrics, performance scoring, drill recommendations and targeted exercises suited to your improvement priorities... that can make your training sessions more efficient and effective. The app's intuitive interface, paired with a color-coded scoring system, ensures clarity in analysis and facilitates constructive communication with your coaches. Whether you're a developing athlete or competing at the elite level, this revolutionary app is your ultimate training partner, designed to maximize your potential and elevate your high jump performance to new heights. Metrics Analyzed: Takeoff Power (Watts): Measures explosive power output during takeoff using work-energy principles Takeoff Force (Newtons): Calculates force production during ground contact phase Vertical Velocity (m/s): Measures upward velocity at takeoff Horizontal Velocity (m/s): Measures approach velocity at takeoff Kinetic Energy (Joules): Total kinetic energy at takeoff Momentum (kg·m/s): Momentum of the athlete at takeoff Efficiency (%): Ratio of vertical to total velocity, measuring energy conversion efficiency This makes the app a video analysis tool with a comprehensive biomechanics assessment system. The physics-based metrics, performance scoring, and comparative analysis provides athletes and coaches with actionable insights for improving high jump performance. The scoring system gives clear, measurable goals, while the drill recommendations provide specific training guidance. The elite comparison helps athletes understand where they stand relative to world-class standards and what it takes to reach that level. The app will attempt to analyze and report the following: PERFORMANCE METRICS Approach Speed Distance from Bar Ground Contact Time Lean at plant Takeoff Angle Vertical Lift Peak Height TECHNIQUE ANALYSIS Knee Drive: Moderate drive Arm Drive: Arms held close ROTATION ANALYSIS Total Rotation Rotation Rate Angle at Peak Rotation Quality BIOMECHANICS Hip Angle at Takeoff Knee Angle at Takeoff Ankle Angle at Takeoff Center of Mass Trajectory PHYSICS & POWER Overall Score Takeoff Power Takeoff Force Vertical Velocity Horizontal Velocity Efficiency PERFORMANCE BREAKDOWN Approach Plant Lean Takeoff Flight Bar Clearance As well as: IMPROVEMENT PRIORITIES RECOMMENDED DRILLS

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: JumpControl at Free against High Jump Analyzer's $0.99. JumpControl also leads on iOS requirement (16.2 vs 18.5). High Jump Analyzer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
