The best technique for the high jump is considered to be the Fosbury Flop. In this technique, you jump and bend your back so that your head goes over the bar first, with your feet going over last.
The best technique is the traditional technique of approaching the bar from the side, jumping, then turning in the air and arching the back and lifting the legs over.
High jump evolved over time. But since several decades the Fosbury flop is most used in high jump. The athlete goes over the bar backwards and he takes off with one foot. Before taking off the athlete runs in a curve.
