What is a wide jump?
A wide leap is a jump in the event with a track and field. Also known as a long jump can be made of movable or stationary position. The wide jump distance is measured from take -off to the first part of the sweater that touches the ground. The jump must be made behind a certain line and usually preceded by a short sprint. The jump is landing on the landing belt, which is usually made of finely granular sand. The wide jump, as well as the high jump, has begun at the ancient Olympic Games in Greece and is popular at modern summer Olympic events. This can also be seen at the middle and collegial level and is practiced in physical testing for younger age. As an individual sport, he forced many famous Olympic athletes, including Carl Lewis, in the passage of sprinting; Jesse Owens, WHO set up a world record in 1935; Bob Beamon, who broke Owens's record in 1960; and Mike Powell, who broke the world record in 1991 by jumping 8.95 m (29.4 feet).
A wide leap begins with competitors who throw themselves along the track, which is generally rubber or vulcanized surface of the rubber track. Accessing runway is important when the speed is inserted, with a higher speed producing more energy for a longer wide jump. The last two steps are carried out mainly with high technology because they play a big role in the character of a jump. The second to last step takes longer than everyone, as speed and energy increases, while the last step is defended shorter. The last step is complemented by a reduction in the center of gravity and a short step helps to offer an explosive take -off position.
take -off, the most important part of the wide jump, is executed in many ways. The most important thing is that previous steps must be coordinated with take -off line that the runner cannot exceed. The steps must also place the jumper in the position to jump on the wide legs and rely too strongly on the heels or toes on the foot on the landing belt. StYly a wide jump differs from a double arm that push the arms back and hips forward; Sprint, direct method with pumping arms and legs in step as normal; And the boundary method that pushes the rear arm into the line and gives the jumper further extensions.
A wide jump landing in the pit is measured by the first part of the body sweater to touch the sand. The brand closest to the take -off point will be used to measure the jump distance. If the jumper lands on his feet and then falls backwards due to lack of balance, the position of the fall is measured because the balance was not maintained on the jump. A wide jump, like many Olympics and individual events, have seen a drastic increase in power and numbers in the last half of the 20th century and the beginning of 21.
