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.
The standing long jump measures an individual's lower body strength, explosive power, and overall athletic ability. It requires a combination of speed, strength, and coordination to generate force and propel the body forward during the jump.
Coordination is needed in MOST sports!
In long jump, the femur functions to provide power and propulsion for jumping by extending the hip joint. It is one of the major bones involved in generating force and movement during the jump. The femur works in coordination with other leg muscles and bones to execute the jump successfully.
Cognitive motor skills are your ability to balance, use hand-eye coordination, move around/jump, basically all your abilities needed to function efficiently.
so you dont get owned!
There are two track and field events. The long jump, and the triple jump.
Speed gives you the momentum needed to achieve a good flight.
