The long jump consists of four key elements: approach run, takeoff, flight, and landing. The athlete must generate speed during the approach run, execute a powerful takeoff from the takeoff board, maximize distance during the flight phase using proper technique, and land securely in the sand pit to complete the jump.
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.
A long jump is typically measured from the takeoff board to the closest point of contact made by the competitor. The distance is then measured in meters or feet.
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.
The standing long jump uses power by combining strength and speed in a explosive movement to propel the body forward. Muscles in the legs generate force that allows the athlete to jump explosively off the ground, requiring a high power output for a successful jump.
Friction occurs between the athlete's feet and the takeoff board during the long jump. This friction allows the athlete to push off with force to propel themselves forward into the jump. Additionally, there is also friction between the athlete's body and the air as they move through the jump.
There are two track and field events. The long jump, and the triple jump.

Broad Jump is standing still but the long jump is with a running start then jumping

The long jump is a field event.
The red flag indicates an invalid jump in the Long Jump.
NO!
The long jump is where you have a long strip of sand which you run to and jump as far as you can along it whilst the high jump is where there is a pole which the athletes have to jump over and it gets raised every time each athlete has jumped. :)
There is no competition called the long high jump.
