Les compétitions de parachutisme se divisent en 3 épreuves principales. En «précision d’atterrissage», le parachutiste vise le centre d’une cible située dans une «zone de saut». La «voltige» consiste à exécuter une série de figures imposées. Enfin, le «vol relatif» ou «travail relatif» est une épreuve par équipes dans laquelle 4 ou 8 concurrents effectuent une série de manœuvres en chute libre. Les championnats du monde comportent les 3 épreuves; les hommes et les femmes y prennent part séparément.
