Long Jump

the diffrence between modern and ancient olympics is that it was not as safe and many were killed in ancient olympics

Take your run-throughs several times and try not to look down at the board; it's not going anywhere!

Long jump: 1. Run as fast as you can! Sprint like your life depends on it! Without speed, you won't have strength in your jump, and the jump will not turn out... 2. Don't stop, then jump! If you sprint down, then stop at the beginning of the pit, then jump, there would be no point of running in the first place. You need to keep it smooth, so that when you come to the pit you can place your foot down like you were about to run another stride, but then jump. 3. You have to have strength in your jump. Use your strong foot, the foot you would use to kick a soccer ball. Make sure you use all your strength that is in your leg. Jump forward, not up. You need to have lots of thrust to make it strong. 4. Use your arms. It may sound odd, but if you use your arms you will go farther, you'll have more thrust. Pump them as if you were running in the air. Doing that with your legs can help, too. 5. Fall forward, not back. If you have to fall, make sure your falling forward. Falling back will just take away lots of length off your good jump. 6. Practice, practice, practice! The more practicing you do, the better you get. I know it sounds lame, but it's true! Triple Jump: Use the exact same strategies that are up there, except with the hop, skip, jump. Practice them so you can put it together smoothly. I'm good at triple jump, and I made it to the track finals for long jump. These are the strategies I use. I hope they help you! Good luck!

there is not much equipment required for high jump. All that is needed is one mat, one pole, and two standard. The two standards hold up the pole and the mat sits behind the standards.

Mike Powell's 8.95 meter jump on August 30, 1991.

Common injuries are similar to other track and field athletics events like hamstring pulls, quadriceps pulls, shin splints etc.

Heel injuries are especially common due to athletes landing on their heels rather than landing on a flat foot with the weight at the ball of the foot.

If you mean jumping events in the olympics a few examples are

Long jump

Standing long jump

Triple jump

There are quite a lot of gymnastic events that involve jumping but I dont know the names, if you type in

Jumping olympic events

into google your probably get a list, hope this helps

First Response:
It can change, but from the foul line to the furthest set of dots is 15 feet. There is no standard for any length after that.

Second Repsonse:
The distance from the foul line to the start of the approach is to be a minimum of 15 feet.

first find your mark,the loosen up,then the fist two jumps lift your legs up the build up speed. then launch into the sky (before crossing the line) and push your legs out and land forward

I'm 13 and i jumped 7.34m

You normally sprint until the line then you jump as far as you can (make sure you land on 2 feet not on your bum!)

3-4 feet

In track, points are scored according to how well the competitor placed in their event. If the runner got 1st place in their event, then they scored their team 10 points. If they got second place, they scored 8 points for the team, if they got 3rd place in their event, they scored 6 points, and so on. If there was a tie for first place, then you would take the scores for 1st and 2nd place and add them together(10 points plus 8 points) which is 18 points. Then you would divide the points in half which would be 9 points and that is how many points each competitor scores for their team. I probably didn't do a very good job explaining that, but hopefully it helps.

That is Ashia Hansen with a jump of 15.15 meters in 1997.Hansen jumped 15.16m indoors in Valencia in 1998. The best outdoor jump by a UK athlete is 14.96m, also by Hansen in Munich in 1999. She jumped a wind assisted 15.00m in the same competition.

No it doesn't because the taller you are the shorter the distance you jump when you get measured

D'no why you asking me am i ment to know lol

i think its like around amillion

It isn't. We normally jump from 2500 feet ( a hop and pop ) to 14,500' for seventy-five seconds of free fall.

As an 18 year old, my PR was 39' 1'', which was decent but definitely not amazing. I would say anything over 40' can be considered "good." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To medal in a national championships for under 20s a distance of 14.50m-16.00m is likely to be needed.

There are only 3 things you need to think of when jumping, all others require training and practice. Luck alos comes in handy (winds, perfect boards, etc.) # Jump as far forwards you can regarding of the position you land. # Jump on the board of maximum length # Count (usually 8) strides

Carl Lewis' best long jump was 8.91 meters (29 feet, 2 3/4 inches) at the 1991 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. Later in the competition, Mike Powell jumped 8.95 meters (29 feet, 4 1/2 inches) to surpass Lewis and win the gold medal.

The high jump is anathletics (track and field) event in which competitors must jump over a horizontal bar placed at measured heights without the aid of any devices. It has been contested since the Olympic Games of ancient Greece. Over the centuries since, competitors have introduced increasingly more effective techniques to arrive at the current form. Javier Sotomayor (Cuba) is both the indoor and outdoor world record holder in this event with jumps of 2.43 metres (7 ft 11.67 in) and 2.45 metres (8 ft 0.46 in), respectively. Sotomayor's record, set in 1993, is the longest standing in the history of the men's high jump. Stefka Kostadinova (Bulgaria) has held the women's world record 2.09 metres (6 ft 10.28 in) since 1987, the longest-held record in the event.

The only offical rule is to jump behind the board. All others are technical rules that only the IAAF knows (steroids etc.).
