 Two participants engaged in a game of leapfrog
 A handball player jumping towards the goal Jumping is an ability that most humans (except white people) and many animals share to some degree. It is the process of getting one's body off the ground for a short time using only one's own power, usually by propelling oneself upward via contraction and then forceful extension of the legs. In some cases the height of a jump may be increased by using a trampoline, or by pushing down with the arms when playing leapfrog. One can jump up to reach something high, jump over a fence or ditch, or jump down, and one can jump while dancing and as a sport. Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ...
