High Jump Crossbars

What should I look for when buying a high jump crossbar?

In the high jump, athletes must clear a bar set as high as possible without knocking it down. The ends of the crossbar must fit perfectly onto the supports so that even the slightest touch makes it fall – but without breaking. Whether for school sports, club training or elite competition: always focus on quality when buying a new high jump crossbar. Materials such as fibreglass or plastic with a carbon content do not break and are particularly lightweight. These bars fall at the smallest touch – ensuring a fair and reliable competition.

High jump crossbars for training and competition

When buying a high jump crossbar, first consider what you’ll use it for: training or competition. Competition crossbars must comply with World Athletics regulations. The official standard specifies a length of 4.00 m (3.98 m for youth) and a diameter of 25–30 mm. Tolerances are minimal, because precision is crucial. For training, there are special, softer bars or foam crossbars that are ideal for practising without fear. You’ll find all details in the respective product descriptions.
