PLEASE READ THE RULES BELOW for the Individual – Most Star Jumps in 30 seconds Challenge

For the purpose of this record a star jump is defined as follows:

  • The starting position is standing straight with arms on the sides along the body.
  • The first movement is to jump into the air, with back straight and perpendicular to the ground, legs wide apart, arms straight out to the sides horizontal to the ground, forming a star shape in the air.
  • Upon landing, the knees must be bent with the hands touching the floor or as close as physically possible to the floor.
  • The next star jump is initiated from this crouched position, with both hands on the floor. The jump is then performed as above and is counted when the participant returns to the crouched position.

An example of a star jump can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHnvP1bHydc

IMPORTANT NOTICE: DSAuk strongly recommend that people with dwarfism use an exercise mat or a soft-landing surface for this challenge and if anyone feels any discomfort during the challenge they should stop immediately.

  1. Sprung surfaces are not permitted to be used for this challenge.
  2. A hard, flat surface must be used and non-sprung surfaces are permitted.
  3. The attempt can be made with footwear on or with bare feet.
  4. Star jumps must be performed according to the description given above.
  5. This record is explicitly for STAR JUMPS and NOT for jumping jacks.

  7. The participant does not have to jump a certain height so long as both feet leave the ground.
