When you're measuring a standing broad jump, are you supposed to start with your toes behind a line, jump, and then measure from the back of your feet/heels?
Or, do you start with the back of your feel/heels at the line, jump and then measure from the back of your feet/heels?
Hopefully that's clear... the difference is the length of your foot.
Thanks.
Toes behind line, and as always, measure the farthest back mark. Furthest? Farthest? Whatever, at least that's the way I've always done it in my living room.

Ok, thanks. That's what I've been doing as well, and it just occurred to me - hey if it's the other way, I could add 12 inches to my jump!
