Broad Jump Standards
How does your broad jump stack up? These are the beginner / novice / experienced / intermediate / advanced / elite tiers (higher is better), by sex.
| Tier | Male | Female |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | 200 cm | 160 cm |
| Novice | 215 cm | 175 cm |
| Experienced | 230 cm | 185 cm |
| Intermediate | 250 cm | 200 cm |
| Advanced | 270 cm | 215 cm |
| Elite | 275 cm | 220 cm |
These are Take Point Fitness's own standards, checked against openly licensed research or public test tables where one exists. Each tier is a point on the 0–100 score (50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 100), not a population percentile.
Not part of the HABS score — a Take Point Fitness benchmark standard you can score on its own in the calculator.
How to improve your Broad Jump
- Train explosively — jumps, throws and fast eccentrics raise rate of force development.
- A stronger squat and hinge lift the ceiling for power output.
- Quality over fatigue: full recovery between explosive efforts.
