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.
Long JumpIt is taking place in the Olympic Stadium.
In the long jump, athletes typically use a run-up to generate speed before taking off from the takeoff board. Athletes need to have proper technique in order to maximize their momentum and jump distance. Proper foot placement, balance, and timing are crucial for a successful takeoff in the long jump.
When it's healed...
A long jump measures an athlete's ability to generate power and speed before leaping to cover a horizontally extended distance. It tests explosive strength, coordination, and technique to achieve the farthest jump possible.
There are two track and field events. The long jump, and the triple jump.
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
Well it all depends. Because if you are a good athelete then you don't have to train for so long
