HOP
___________ of the foot in take-off is important in order for the athlete to avoid a foul.
Precise placement
The objective of the first phase is to________, with the athlete focuses on the momentum forward.
hop out
The hop landing phase is very active, involving a powerful backward __________ action of the right leg, with the right take-off foot landing heel first on the runway.
“pawing”
The _________also marks the beginning of the step phase, 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.
hop landing
This leads to the step-phase mid-air position, with the _______ take-off leg trailing flexed at the knee, and the_______ leg now leading flexed at the hip and knee.
right
left
The step landing forms the take-off of the final phase (the jump), where the athlete utilizes the backward force from the left leg to take off again. 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 ________________ .
