The purpose of this study was to analyze, from a kinematical point of view, the high jump techniques of three women`s high jump winners at the IAAF World Championships, Daegu 2011. The trends for the techniques of the world`s top high jumpers were examined, with a view toward adapting these techniques to the physical characteristics of Korean women`s high jumpers. It was valuable that Di Martino, who was the shortest in height, was able to win a medal by using a single arm swing take-off technique, along with a half flexed leading leg swing to attain a deep arch and clear the bar. This showed that the world`s top athletes used jumping techniques with no decrease in the run-up velocity at the take-off. Furthermore, It appeared that the knee joint angle at take-off had a direct effect on the body position at take-off (H1).
