Classification
One way to classify jumping is by the manner of foot transfer. In this classification system, five basic jump forms are distinguished:
- Jump — jumping from and landing on two feet
- Hop — jumping from one foot and landing on the same foot
- Leap — jumping from one foot and landing on the other foot
- Assemble — jumping from one foot and landing on two feet
- Sissonne — jumping from two feet and landing on one foot
Leaping gaits, which are distinct from running gaits (see Locomotion), include cantering, galloping, and pronging.
