Triple Jump

I am a college track and feild athlete, specializing in sprints and jumps. Each individual jumper should determine their stlye of jumping. The style will depend on the comfort of the jumper and how well he/she can execute the technique during practice.

there are two common techniques for arm use during triple jump:

1. Double-arm action: prefered for faster jumpers who can accumulate more speed as they approach the board. The reason for this is because the double arm motion will slow you down as you prepare to approach the board.

2. Single-arm action: suggested for a slower jumper who can not accumulate as much speed. It will transfer all of the jumpers speed into the first phase of the jump.

no, jumping and leaping are not he same thing. jumping can be going in the air in place and leaping in going up in the air but moving from point a to point b.

While you jump you go higher than when you leap, but when you leap you cover more distance than when you jump.

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 is a field referee that is responsible for all field events. The specific triple jump officials are merely called officials.

Just like the long jump, the triple jump requires that a competitor begin his or her jump from a designated line called "the board". This line is typically much farther back and the jumper performs three individual jumps in one constant movement.

Did you know that if a jumper starts his/her jump before reaching the board, the jump will be measured FROM the board?

That is the nickname for the triple jump.

You run up to the board, then you hop of your desired leg, then from the hop, you take a step, then you jump. You can choose how close you want the take off board to be to the sand. Normally, boards are either 7, 9, 11 or 13 metres away from the sand. Professionals always go off the 13m board, as that is where it is placed under many championship rules. For the hop, you must land on the foot from which you took off, and for the step, you must land on the other foot. You must take off from within the lane. You must not walk back through the sand after the jump. The jump is measured from the nearest break in the landing area made by any part of your body.

you can work on your calf muscles and you hops

It is possible to use dirt, but not recommended. Sand is preferably used because when you land on it there is a lot of "give" to it to help absorb shock so it is better on your joints. It is less likely to pack down like dirt would do, which causes a harder surface. It would not be good for your knees.

The first documentation of the triple jump was in 1794 with a competition at Islington cricket ground. It was thought that the birthplace of the triple jump was the Lowlands of Scotland, but the Lowlands first documented evidence only dates back to 1797.

Do a standing hop, step, and jump as many times as you can.

The first action of a Triple Jump is the cycle or a jump in which you land on the foot you jumped off of. During this Action you should bring your non-jumping leg in and after you've taken off your jumping leg should go around like your pedaling a giant cycle. Bringing it up to your waist level and back down.

you can usually get good spikes specifically for triple jump, look on google and find some spikes their, it should tell you if they are specific to triple jump.

You must fir got It mixed up somewhere on the lines cos the mens world recored is 18.29m I recon u probaly got 25feet

For Junior high children (grades 7,8,9) they will often use the 5 metre or 7 metre boards for Senior High school males they will use the 9,11, or 13 metre boards.

For long jump a 2 metre board is the most used but in some competitions they use a 1 metre board

The size of the long jump and triple jump pits in the Olympics typically measures about 2.75 meters wide and can vary in length, usually around 10 meters or more, depending on the specific venue and event requirements. The depth of the pit often ranges from 0.5 to 1 meter to ensure adequate safety and landing conditions for athletes. Each pit is filled with a special material, such as sand or a synthetic surface, to cushion the landing.

Such records are not kept or published.
