TRIPLE JUMP Flashcards
THE GOAL OF IN THE TRIPLE JUMP IS TO J___________ COMBINING ALL THREE FACES
JUMP THE LONGEST DISTANCE
THEREFORE THE SINGLE MOST IMPORATNT AIMED IS FOR THE ATHLETE TO
MAINTAIN THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE HORIZONTAL SPEED,THROGHOUT THE HOP, THE STEP AND THE JUMP
. The first two steps are also referred to as _______. The objective of this board is to over as much distance as possible in the tree leaps.
step
is an athletic sport of the track and field discipline, in which athletes get to take two steps before making the final jump.
triple jump
In modern championships a _________________ is attached to the far edge of the board to record athletes overstepping or “scratching” the mark, defined by the trailing edgeof the board.
strip of plasticine , tape , or modeling clay
to make the jump in triple jump
athletes sprint towards the takeoff mark and perform hop, step and jump in one continuous sequence
The standing triple jump was contested only in the __________ Olympics
1900 and 1904
a triple jump field consists of
a runway path, a marker start the jump from, and a sand pit about 14 ft away from takeoff line.
There is evidence that the people jump, in some form, dates to the
ancient Greek Olympic
The origins of the triple jump are obscure, but it may be related to the ancient children’s game _________
hopscotch
It has been a modern Olympic event since the first Games in ______ at those Games hops were used, but one hop was used at the Olympics thereafter
1886;
___ of the foot in take-off is important in order for the athlete to avoid a foul.
Precise placement
is one of the important parts of an athlete’s jump. The athlete sprint down a runway to takeoff mark , from which the triple jump is measured
APPROACH
The long jump was indisputably bite of the Greeks games, but some jumpers recorded leaps of move than ________, leading sports historians to conclude that these were actually a series of jumps.
50,
where the athlete utilizes the backward momentum of the right leg to immediately execute a powerful jump forward and upwards, the left leg assisting the take-off with a hip flexion thrust similar to a bounding motion.
STEP
is commonly either a piece of wood or similar material embedded in the runway , or a rectangle painted in the runway surface.
takeoff mark
begins with the athlete jumping from the take-off board on one leg, which for descriptive purposes, will be the right leg
HOP
The objective of the first phase is to __________, with the athlete focusses on the momentum forward
hop out
The hop landing also marks the beginning of the
step phase
The hop landing phase is very _______, involving a powerful backward “pawing” action of the right leg, with the right take-off foot landing heel first on the runway.
active
The step landing forms the take-off of the final phase
JUMP
This leads to the step-phase mid-air position, with the ______________________, and the left leg now leading flexed at the hip and knee.
right take-off leg trailing flexed at the knee
The jump phase is very similar to the long jump although most athletes have lost too much speed by this time to manage a full hitch kick, and mostly used is a
hang or sail technique.
The jumper then holds this position for as long as possible, before extending the knee of the leading left leg and then immediately beginning a powerful backward motion of the whole left leg, again landing on the runway with a powerful backward pawing action.
