Yoga for Jumps :

High, long, triple and the pole vault.

The movements in the various jumps are always done in a manner that uses one leg excessively. The high jumper for example uses the left or right leg to jump off the ground and the body is tilted to one side in the process. The repeated use of the same side of the of the body results in asymmetry and aches and pain starts.The groin muscles are opened only on one side and the hip joints are also subjected to a one sided strain.In the case of a long jumper the launch is with the same leg day after day and that leg alone is the stronger of the two. Similarly with the hip joint and the paraspinal muscles of the back. The hamstrings of one leg are used excessively while the other leg is passive.

The practice of using both sides of the body should be inculcated in athletes as soon as training is started. Unless ambidexterity is achieved the body suffers.

For the jumpers asanas which open up the groin like upavishta konasana and baddha konasana, samokonasana and sputa padagusthasana are very useful to prevent imbalances. Hanumanasan optimizes muscle usage in the triple and long jumper. The pole vaulter stresses the muscles of one hand, usually the left to vault over the bar. The deltoids and the triceps of the left hand are overused. The body is also twisted to one side to achieve the final jump. The only way to counter this unequal stresses is to train the body on both sides. Balancing asanas are useful for the vaulter to train both sides of the body for load bearing. In particular one sided balances like vasishtasana and kasyapasana train the sides of the body and the Latissimus dorsi muscles .

Pranayam relieves fatigue makes the body light and releases tension at the time of the jump.
