Types of Vertical Jump
The vertical jump is divided into two different types:
- Standing Vertical Jump: This refers to a vertical jump done from a standstill with no steps being involved at all.
- Running Vertical Jump: This refers to a vertical jump after an approach or run to help add energy to the jump in an effort to improve on the standing vertical jump.
In general, the standing vertical jump is the one that is used as an official measurement for athletes.

The political revolution put an end to the formalized hierarchy of the ancien regimé....

It transformed the experience of society from one of vertical hierarchy to one of horizontal class stratification.”
