I am a college track and feild athlete, specializing in sprints and jumps. Each individual jumper should determine their stlye of jumping. The style will depend on the comfort of the jumper and how well he/she can execute the technique during practice.
there are two common techniques for arm use during triple jump:
1. Double-arm action: prefered for faster jumpers who can accumulate more speed as they approach the board. The reason for this is because the double arm motion will slow you down as you prepare to approach the board.
2. Single-arm action: suggested for a slower jumper who can not accumulate as much speed. It will transfer all of the jumpers speed into the first phase of the jump.
There are two broad schools of thought. There is the single arm shift and the double arm shift. The single arm shift uses the arms in the same way that they there are used in running (one forward and one back) while the double arm shift required that both arms are pulled back before take off and then thrown forward afterwards.
The single arm shift maintains speed into the take off while the double arm shift typically slows the athlete down but some athletes prefer the balance and power that they feel it gives them.
The jumper should also consider what arm action to use through the whole jump. Single, double, double is popular but requires a subtle change of arm movement at hop landing. Single, single is simple and straightforward. Double, double, double is effective but has the potential drawback of reducing take off speed.

Just like the long jump, the triple jump requires that a competitor begin his or her jump from a designated line called "the board".
