FSN Sport Science. Episode 1 - Hang Time - Jordan Farmar

I can stay in the air for 8 seconds

im pretty sure a person in gymnastics could definitely stay in the air for more than a second.

I wanna watch this show but i cant find it!!!!!!!!! thats AMAZING!

I've actually got proof. An article was dedicated to this in my Physics books. check this out: Spudd Webs highest recorded leap was 48 in(1.25m). time= square root of 2d(height of center of gravity)/G(9.8m/s^2) pluggin 1.25m into the equation gives you .50 seconds, and you double that to account for both upward and downward projection. that gives you 1 second. yeah, anyways this is old science, people can definitely jump for longer than 1 second.

Don't be dim You don't dare and defy the Law of Gravity not even Spud Webb and what part of "requires 8 feet of vertical leap" to execute a 1 second hang time" don't you understand?. Hang Time is an illusion as you have seen in spud's jumping. So anything you can argue with me? reply to me if you want to.

Really ? Cool. I don't hang on the every word of these programmes, I mean one of them 'proves' that UFC peeps hit harder than Boxers. I'm sorry, but the top boxers in the world hit harder than the UFC guys, right ?

lol, the 1 second theory was debunked quite a long time ago, spud webb did it

haha and im watching this rite now on csn, exact same timing too

jordan is not like jordan23 at all. and ud think that if someone did a back flip or flipped or sumting in the air they would "hang" for more than a second...

Long jump hang time is very similar to a vertical leap hang time. Let's say you have a vertical leap of 25 inches and a long jump horizontal leap of 8.95m but the distance between you and the ground from launch to landing is also 25 inches, both will land at the same time no matter what, reflecting the saying in this video "mid flight body contortions cannot affect their overall flight." Think man! Think! Don't even dare to ignore the law of gravity.

watch?v=suGgbfUuuzo

Mike Powell's Long Jump world record of 8.95m. I bet he was close to being 1.00 in the air

not one man can be in the air for more than 1 sec not even a long jumper. I've read a published article that 1 sec hang time requires an 8 feet vertical leap. And who the heck has an 8 feet vertical that would be crazy.

why farmar? ..because he's not a superstar yet. Kobe, labron..wouldn't waste their time or risk injury for this dumb show.

GO LAKERS!!!!

they should have used kobe, vince, lebron or jamario

they need to use a long jumper and i think it is possible to stay in air for more than 1 sec

does jumping of buildings count? :D

why farmar

they got jordan farmar for this, jamario moon or rudy gay would be sick to see doing this

i think vince dunk over the seven footer in the olympics should have been measured.

they should have used t dub or air up there....and tried out some pro long jumpers

When you're in projectile flight, the vertical and horizontal directions are totally independant. In other words, if you drop a ball off a cliff and fire one horizontally out from the edge, both hit the ground at the same time. So while flying farther horizontally might LOOK longer (because you travel longer horizontally, you were actually in the air for the same time (This is before all the buggersome stuff like air resistance, but that stuff has minimal impact).

And if you think about it you will look awkward in the air for 1 second and I've read an article that you have to jump 16 feet above the ground to get a 2 second hang time, proving that this video is very accurate indeed.

I bet some people here doesn't understand the video at all, based on my understanding what goes up must come down, meaning that if you jump and stayed in the air is about the same time you stayed in the air and landed. The higher you jump means the faster you will get out in the air and land and still land in 0.92 sec, that's 0.46 sec going up and 0.46 going down.

wow no1 can stay in air for 1 sec??

yea word I was thinking the same thing, that they should have used a long jumper
