how does momentum effect jumping?

Momentum affect jumping a great deal, that is why a standing long jump is significantly less that one taken at close to maximum speed. Usually the faster an athlete the longer he or she will jump, but jumping also depend not only on speed but also on how the athlete converts that speed in the last couple of strides. A jumper can negate their running speed by slowing down at the board, lengthening the strides at the board or by dropping the hips too low.
