What is the ideal number of strides in the long jump approach?
Think about the number mentioned in the discussion on the approach phase.
Why do athletes lower their center of mass during the penultimate stride?
Remember the discussion about takeoff mechanics.
What is the optimal number of strides during the long jump approach?
Refer back to the approach section we discussed.
True or False: The hitch-kick technique is associated with maximizing distance in the long jump.
Remember the differences between hang and hitch-kick techniques.
Analyze a performance video of a long jumper and identify how the approach phase influences their jump distance.
Look for consistent rhythm and mechanics leading up to the jump.
