STANDING LONG JUMP

Description This two footed jump from a standing position is a test of co-ordination and leg strength . In 1904 an Olympic record of 3.47m was recorded into a sand pit and it stood for over 80 years! The new world record is now over 3.60m. In Sportshall events a special graduated landing mat is used which enables jumps to be recorded easily.

Equipment • Metromat for Standing Long Jump

Tips • Participants should bend at the knees and swing arms for lift. • For accuracy judges should place a finger on the scale where the participant lands then read the result.

Rules • A two footed take-off from a standing

position with both feet behind the take-off line. • Measurement is taken from the take-off line to the back of the closest heel to the take-off line upon landing. • The participant may step forward after the jump, however, any step back or touching of the mat or floor behind the feet is a no jump . • A valid jump is recorded if both the athlete’s feet land on any part of the mat.

Safety • Keep landing area away from obstructions such as walls. • Avoid water or dirt on surfaces.
