Long Jump
Of all the jumping events, the long jump is perhaps the
most natural to perform and the easiest to learn. The goal
is to take off from behind a specific starting line and cover
the longest distance possible before landing in a sand-
filled pit. The event is made harder by the tremendous
speed that long jumpers have to reach in their approach
run, because this directly affects the length of their jump.
Long Jump
The most successful jumpers are often built like
sprinters. They are tall, with long legs, and have
good explosive power. In training they try to
develop strength, a good sense of rhythm, and the
ability to judge distance accurately.
The four stages in Long Jump
1. Approach Run
• Practice pacing your approach run to get the
possible maximum speed before hitting the
take-off board. Calculate the number of
strides in your approach run according to
your age.

2. Take off
• Strike the take-off board with the whole of
your foot and quickly drive the free leg
upward and forward. Extend the other leg and
keep your body upright as you push off.

3. The Flight
• During the flight, try to take one or two strides with
your legs. The action is called the hitch kick, where
you move your legs in a cycling action as you
travel through the air. This helps propel your body
forward through the air. As you prepare to land,
bring your legs together and swing them out in
front of the body. Keep your feet high and swing
your arms back as your body comes forward.

4. The Landing
• Once your feet hit the sand, bend your knees
slightly and try to pull yourself forward so
that you don’t sit back in the sand. Throw
your arms forward over your head.

Shot Put
This game originated as Putting the Weight at the
Scottish Highland Games around the 14th century. The
weight used was large stones that were too heavy to be
thrown, but could be pushed one-handed from the
shoulder. But today, a heavy metal ball called a shot is
used instead of a stone. The technique used remains the
same.
