because you get momentum and tou're moving faster.
ya it can help ...............
yes
A standing broad jump, not too far. A running jump, much further. And there are tricks, such as running and tossing weights backwards, which adds further distance to the jump.
No it doesn't because the taller you are the shorter the distance you jump when you get measured
Its to build up forward momentum so that when they jump they already have a forward motion that would be greater than that of a jump made from standing in one spot. You need forward momentum to get a good long jump and the best way is to have a running start.
Depends on age and size and method. Less distance is traversed in a standing broad jump than in a running jump. Too, there are tricks that can be used.
you're body weight builds momentum which accelerates the speed and or distance
I do long jump, triple jump, and 100m and they work great. But it depends what you consider short distance. work for everything 400m and under. it has no padding on the heel so jumping with sprinting spikes can cause injury.
Jump rope, run sprints, cycling, distance running and more. Cross train for the best results.
It depends on if your running before you jump. If not you can probably jump 5 to 8 inches over your height. The reason why i sat 5 to 8 is because it depends if you are a man or a woman. :)
Because he already has forward momentum.
Triple jump is a running hop, step (or skip), and long jump in that order.
