LONG JUMP
1. THE
APPROACH
-
16 TO 18 STEPS--SHORTER YOUNGER--LONGER COLLEGE-THE LONGER WITH THE SAME NUMBER OF STRIDES, THE BETTER-FIRST STEP WITH QUICK LEG (PUSH OFF WITH STRONG)--DRIVE 6- TO TRANS 4
-
CHECK MARKS-ATHLETES SHOULD NOT USE THESE--FOR COACHES REFERENCE ONLY-SOME USE FOUR STRIDES FROM START, BUT NOT RECOMMENDED-MOST PUT MARK FOUR STRIDES OUT FROM THE TO BOARD
-
2. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR PENULTIMATE:
- CONSERVE VELOCITY
- OBSERVE PROPER POSTURE--HEAD AND PELVIS POSITION
- ELASTIC ENERGY CONSERVATION--CONTINUE HIP OSCILLATION
3. PENULTIMATE STRIDE
- PRETENSION-90 DEGREE ANKLE
- HEEL LEAD-FULL CONTACT TO BRIDGE
- LOWER THE CENTER OF MASS ON THE FRONT SIDE (TO BOARD SIDE) OF THE PENULTIMATE STRIDE
- LOCATION--SLIGHTLY IN FRONT --LOAD STEP MEANS THAT THEY ARE STOPPING
- FULL BODY DISPLACE
- AT TOUCHDOWN THERE SHOULD BE A VERTICAL TIBIA
- HEEL KICK OF THE TAKEOFF LEG WILL BE VERY LOW ON THIS STRIDE
4. TAKE OFF
- PRETENSION-90 DEGREE ANKLE
- HEEL LEAD-FULL CONTACT TO BRIDGE
- FULL FIRING--UNRUSHED FOOT CONTACT TIME
- POWERFUL SWINGING SEGMENTS
- LOCATION--ONLY SLIGHTLY IN FRONT
- DISPLACEMENT PATH--HORIZONTAL COMPONENT TO CONTINUE FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME- START RISE/TAKEOFF AFTER THE CENTER OF MASS HAS PASSED THE BOARD
5. FLIGHT
- CONTROL ROTATION WITH SWING LEG--BRING THE HIP FORWARD WITH THE SWING--SWING LEG MUST EXTEND AND FALL--
- PREPARE FOR LANDING--LARGE DOUBLE ARM DOWNWARD SWEEP TO THE FRONT-PRODUCES LEG LIFT. LANDING-ABSORPTION--CONTINUE FORWARD MOTION
