The term 'kind of jump' can refer to three different types of jumps: a BROAD jump, a SKI jump, and a QUANTUM jump. A BROAD jump is a type of long jump in which the athlete takes off from a standing position and lands on a sandpit. A SKI jump is a type of jump performed on skis, where the athlete propels themselves off a ramp and into the air. Finally, a QUANTUM jump is a term used in physics to describe the sudden transition of an atom or molecule from one energy state to another.
