The famous Ukrainian jumper Yaroslava Maguchikh admitted that during training she does not consciously strive to jump to extreme heights, since this does not make sense from the point of view of preparation and recovery.

According to the athlete, her maximum result in training was about 1. 96–1. 97, but she makes such attempts extremely rarely. “In training, I don’t cut so high. Maximum height of boule 1. 96. “We practice technology, but high tests are forfeited,” she admitted.

The athlete added that she often hears advice to try to take 2. 10 are still in training, but such experiments only do harm. “A lot of people say: I haven’t tried it 210? Well, you should have tried it earlier. It's not about psychology. I was ready for this result, I just don’t feel like spending a lot of energy on training,” Maguchikh noted on the Youtube channel Aktivni | Podcast about sports and health.

She explained that after extreme attempts, the body requires a long recovery. " What the hell is needed in training? “- the Olympic champion couldn’t restrain herself.

Maguchikh emphasized that she works according to clear training cycles and reaches the maximum level precisely at the competitions, where she needs to show the best results.
