Question

It's not track season yet but i want to be ready. what are so tips to jump further?

Answer 1

calculate the steps and jump from the platform.and run fast and bounce you will go more further.

Answer 2

Improve your strength by doing a total body routine of weights.

Do plyometrics to gain explosive muscle actions.

Run stadium bleachers or stairs.

When jumping approach the board at about 7/8th maximum speed. You need to convert your horizontal speed into a jump so you can not run a maximum speed.

The most import part of the jump is the approach, if  you can't hit the board you are not going to jump well.

The next to  last step slightly lower your center of gravity.

This will allow you to drive up with your leg and off arm.

Rotate your arms rearward, this along with your leg action retards the forward rotation of your body.

When you land drive your arms back, which will bring  your legs up, let your knees collapse so you land gently, if you land hard and bounce forward you have too much energy left and did not jump far enough.

As you collapse the knees bring your arms forward to keep you from falling backward in the sand.

well first of all. eat healthy. like eggs, chicken (because its a good source of protein), try not to eat a lot of junk food. exercise daily. jump rope a little bit each day. bulid up leg muscle...and make a spot in ur yard for a long jump area..and mark each day how far uve jumped.

Answer 4

Well, last spring I always used to jump around 3.85 - 4.00 metres, and I really wanted to increase that so my friend told me to start out jogging then start sprinting around 8-10 metres before the jumping line. I tried it out then i shot up to 4.30 then I got 4.40. Unfortunatly I didn't make it for long jump but I did make it for 100(3rd place),200(3rd place),800(1st place), and shot put (4th place ( that sucked) )
