:''This article concerns an ancient sports object. For halteres in insect anatomy, see Halteres.'' Halteres ((ギリシア語:ἁλτῆρες),〔(ἁλτῆρες ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus Digital Library〕 from "ἅλλομαι" - ''allomai'', "leap, spring";〔(ἅλλομαι ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus Digital Library〕 cf. "ἅλμα" - ''alma'', "leaping"〔(ἅλμα ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus Digital Library〕) were a type of dumbbells used in Ancient Greece. In ancient Greek sports, ''halteres'' were used as lifting weights,〔Norman Gardiner, ''Athletics in the Ancient World'', Dover, 2002, on (Google books )〕〔Bill Pearl, ''Getting Stronger: Weight Training for Sports'', Shelter, 2005, on (Google books )〕 and also as weights in their version of the long jump,〔Stephen G. Miller, ''Ancient Greek Athletics'', Yale University Press, 2006, on (Google books )〕 which was probably a set of three jumps. ''Halteres'' were held in both hands to allow an athlete to jump a greater distance; they may have been dropped after the first or second jump. According to archaeological evidence, the athlete would swing the weights backwards and forwards just before take-off, thrust them forwards during take-off, and swing them backwards just before releasing them and landing. ''Halteres'' were made of stone or metal, and weighed between . Writing in ''Nature'', biophysicist Alberto E. Minetti of Manchester Metropolitan University calculates that halteres added about to a long jump.
