A Biomechanical Analysis of the Last Stride, Touchdown, and Takeoff Characteristics of the Men's Long Jump

Abstract: This study was concerned with the measurement of performance variables from competitors in the men's long jump final of the World Student Games held in Sheffield, England, in July 1991. Several performances of 10 finalists were recorded on cine film at 100 Hz. Resulting sagittal plane kinematic data were obtained for the last stride, touchdown, and takeoff for a total of 27 jumps. It was confirmed that takeoff velocity was a function of touchdown velocity, and that there was an increase in vertical velocity at… Show more

“…These values are consistent with data for experienced male long jumpers (Arampatzis et al, 1999;Hay et al, 1986;Lees et al, 1994;Nixdorf & Brüggemann, 1988. Figures 2, 3 and 4 show the take-off speed, take-off height and take-off distance as a function of the take-off angle for the best-performing athlete (Athlete 1).…”

“…The instant of take-off was defined as the first clear frame in which the take-off foot was observed to break contact with the ground (Hay et al, 1986;Lees et al, 1994). The athlete's take-off speed and take-off angle were calculated from the horizontal and vertical speed of the athlete's centre of mass at the instant of take-off, and the take-off height and take-off distance were the vertical and horizontal distances of the athlete's centre of mass relative to the take-off line.…”

“…Ce mode de contraction s'avère déterminant dans toute impulsion athlé-tique car il permet de résister aux déformations segmentaires lors du contact au sol et de conserver un maximum d'énergie cinétique dans le cycle étirement-détente [4]. La musculation, le travail technique et plus particulièrement l'entraîne-ment plyométrique des sauteurs contribuent à ce développe-ment musculaire spécifique.…”

“…According to some existent studies [2,6,9,11], the approach and take-off are the most important factors that affect the result. The fundamental problem of long jump, from the biomechanical point of view, is the transformation of horizontal velocity to a resultant of the vertical and horizontal velocities in the take-off phase.…”

“…The ratio of the take-off velocity components VXTO:VYTO for the athlete GC is 2.08:1. The results of some similar studies [1,5,6,9,14] show us that this athlete has an optimal vertical velocity at take-off and a horizontal velocity (VXTO) that is a little too low to allow even longer jumps. The consequence of a relatively high vertical velocity at take-off is also the magnitude of the angle of projection at take-off PATO = 24.10 deg.…”
