d=sin(2θ)v²/g

d is the distance travelled in the air assuming you’re jumping on a perfectly flat surface.

θ is the jumping angle.

v is the initial velocity.

g is acceleration due to gravity.

Squared variable tend to have a very large affect on equations thus increasing your initial velocity (v) has the greatest affect on the distance (d).
