∙ 7y agoWhen an athlete runs before jumping, they build up momentum which allows for more force to be exerted during takeoff, resulting in a longer jump. This momentum comes from the athlete's speed and the push-off from the ground during the run-up, contributing to a greater distance covered during the jump compared to a stationary jump where there is less kinetic energy to propel them forward.
If you are going to do this for a competition, than a mix of short distance timed running and long distance running. You should keep a mix of fast short exercises and longer distance ones.
ya it can help ...............
In long jump, momentum plays a crucial role in propelling the athlete forward and increasing the distance covered. The greater the speed and body mass of the athlete during takeoff, the more momentum they can generate for the jump. This momentum helps the athlete maintain their velocity in the air and cover a longer distance.
Depends on the kind of runner you are. Asics are generally lighter running shoes than most brands, so they are good for longer distance running sessions.
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.

You can be fast... 1. running 2. running away from someone that you don't like (ex. someone with a chain saw) (if you don't your a retard) 3. driving 4. biking away from the police 5. running from jail 6. running away from chocolate... I'm mean uh a stranger. 7. the real answer is practice (if your going to die from chuck norris)
Soccer, because it requires more running for a longer period of time with almost no breaks. They must be able to jump with opponents for headballs, fight for possession of the ball and they must have tremendous footwork.

Sneakers or Athletic shoes are sometimes needed for better performance for the athlete but also for protection for the athlete but in some cases, some athletes prefer bare feet than any athletic shoes, i.e. some long distance runners and some, though no longer, American football kickers.
