During a long jump, muscular contraction plays a crucial role in generating the power needed for takeoff. The primary muscles involved include the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calf muscles, which contract explosively to propel the jumper off the ground. Eccentric contractions occur as the jumper prepares for takeoff, while concentric contractions occur during the leap. This coordinated effort maximizes horizontal and vertical distance, essential for a successful jump.
