As a verb, critique means to review or examine something critically. As a noun, a critique is that review or examination, like an art essay or a book report. The French version of this word is spelled the same (meaning the art of criticism) and came from the Greek kritike tekhne (the critical art).
Vertical Jump By Age. When it comes to age, vertical leaping ability increases as during the teenage years and peaks during the decade of 20 to 30 years old. During their 20âs, the average vertical jump for men is at 19.5â to 20â. At the same age, the average vertical leap for women is at 13â to 14â. After that it, the averages start to decrease by around 3 inches for every decade.
In college, my personal record for the vertical leap was 40 inches. At my peak, I was able to touch the top of the square on a regulation backboard, about 11.5 feet from the ground. Even now, in my thirties, I can dunk a basketball while standing underneath the basketâno run up required. I owe it all to the power of the vertical jump.
