Editing Jumping (section)

==Classification==

One way to classify jumping is by the manner of foot transfer.<ref>''Study Guide for Elementary [[Labanotation]]'' by Peggy Hackney, Sarah Manno (Editor), Muriel Topaz (Editor)</ref> In this classification system, five basic jump forms are distinguished:
* '''Jump''' – jumping from and landing on two feet
* '''Hop''' – jumping from one foot and landing on the same foot
* '''Leap''' – jumping from one foot and landing on the other foot
* '''Assemblé''' – jumping from one foot and landing on two feet
* '''Sissonne''' – jumping from two feet and landing on one foot

Leaping gaits, which are distinct from [[running]] gaits (see [[animal locomotion|Locomotion]]), include [[canter]]ing, [[Horse gaits#Gallop|galloping]], and [[stotting]] or pronging.<ref name="Roberts1995">Tristan David Martin Roberts (1995) ''Understanding Balance: The Mechanics of Posture and Locomotion'', Nelson Thornes, {{ISBN|0-412-60160-5}}.</ref> Some sources also distinguish bounding as a cyclical motion of repeated jumps, used to maintain energy from one jump to the next.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Reilly |first1=Stephen M. |last2=Montuelle |first2=Stephane J. |last3=Schmidt |first3=Andre |last4=Naylor |first4=Emily |last5=Jorgensen |first5=Michael E. |last6=Halsey |first6=Lewis G. |last7=Essner |first7=Richard L. |date=2015-03-28 |title=Conquering the world in leaps and bounds: hopping locomotion in toads is actually bounding |journal=Functional Ecology |volume=29 |issue=10 |pages=1308–1316 |doi=10.1111/1365-2435.12414 |issn=0269-8463|doi-access=free |bibcode=2015FuEco..29.1308R }}</ref>
