Прыжок в длину представляет собой двигательное действие, которое относится к горизонтальным. Чтобы добиться в этой спортивной дисциплине успеха, требуется проявить прыгучесть и спринтерские качества. История возникновения прыжков в длину с места уходит своими корнями в глубокую древность. Этот вид спорта был частью программы Олимпийских игр, проводимых еще в Древней Греции.
История возникновения
Сложно сказать, кто именно придумал эту спортивную дисциплину. Прыжки в длину появились еще во времена античности. Этот вид спорта зародился в Древней Греции. По сути, он представлял собой один из элементов пятиборья, которое называлось пентатлоном.
В давние времена при выполнении всех упражнений спортсмены держали груз. Обычно для этого применяли гантели. При этом спортсмены приземлялись на песок или рыхлую почву. После того как появилась легкая атлетика, стали проводить официальные состязания в этой спортивной дисциплине.
Если рассматривать современность, прыжки в длину стали официальной частью легкой атлетики в 1896 году. Именно тогда она была введена для мужчин. Что касается женщин, то они начали соревноваться в этом виде спорта только в 1948 году.
Мировые рекорды
По мере развития дисциплины и физических качеств спортсменов стали устанавливаться все новые и новые мировые рекорды. Мировой рекорд в рассматриваемом виде спорта составляет 373 сантиметра. Он принадлежит Байрону Джонсу. Данное достижение датируется 2015 годом. Оно было зафиксировано на Scouting Combine. Данный турнир проходил на расположенном в Индианаполисе стадионе Lucas Oil.
Итак, сегодня известны следующие рекорды:
- 3,73 метра – мировой;
- 3,48 метра – российский;
- 3,47 метра – олимпийский.
Среди прыгунов России стоит выделить Дмитрия Иоселиани, которого с уверенностью можно причислить к спортсменам самого высокого класса. Ему удалось установить 60 рекордов в рассматриваемой спортивной дисциплине. Еще в 1930 году парень 17 лет стал первым спортсменом в России, которому удалось побить мировой рекорд. Достижение, которое принесло ему славу, составил 3,48 метра.
Как проходят испытания
Прыжки, которые выполняются с места, существенно отличаются от того же упражнения, выполняемого с разбега. В первом случае спортсмен двумя ногами отталкивается в определенном секторе, предназначенном для прыжков. Важно, чтобы эта зона обеспечивала качественную сцепку с обувью.
Предварительно требуется занять определенное положение. Для этого нужно поставить ноги на ширине плеч, разместить стопы параллельно, а носки расположить перед линией. После чего требуется совершить толчок одновременно двумя ногами и прыгнуть вперед. При этом махи руками допустимы.
Измерение осуществляется по перпендикулярной прямой от зоны отталкивания любой ногой до самого близкого следа, который оставляет любая часть туловища спортсмена. В общей сложности разрешается сделать 3 попытки. При этом засчитывается самый лучший результат.
Спортсмену разрешается следующее:
- при подготовке и выполнении упражнения совершать махи руками;
- использовать весь период времени, которое отводится на подготовку и совершение прыжка, – на это выделяется 1 минута.
За что могут дисквалифицировать
В процессе выполнения упражнения спортсмен может совершить ряд ошибок, из-за которых результат не будет засчитан. Итак, при прыжках с места запрещено делать следующее:
- заступать за линию отталкивания или касаться ее;
- отталкиваться с предварительного подскока;
- отталкиваться ногами по очереди;
- использовать отягощения, которые выбрасываются в ходе прыжка;
- уходить с места приземления назад.
Техника выполнения прыжка
Чтобы прыгнуть с места, спортсмену требуется совершить ряд последовательных действий. Итак, техника этого упражнения включает такие элементы:
- подготовка к отталкиванию;
- непосредственно отталкивание;
- полет;
- приземление.
На подготовительном этапе спортсмену требуется подойти к линии отталкивания, поставить ступни на ширину плеч или чуть уже, поднять руки вверх и слегка отвести их назад. Важно прогнуться в пояснице и подняться на носки. Затем плавно, но достаточно быстро опустить руки вниз и назад и опуститься на всю ступню, согнуть ноги в тазобедренных суставах и коленях и наклониться вперед таким образом, чтобы разместить плечи вперед стоп. При этом тазобедренный сустав должен располагаться над носками.
Руки должны быть отведены назад и немного согнуты в локтях. Не оставаясь в такой позе, спортсмену можно приступать к отталкиванию. Это следует делать в тот момент, когда туловище еще опускается вниз, идя по инерции, тогда как тазобедренные суставы уже начинают разгибаться. При этом руки следует быстро и активно вынести вперед и немного вверх в направлении прыжка.
После этого требуется разогнуть колени и согнуть голеностопные суставы. В момент отрыва ступней от земли процесс отталкивания завершается. Затем спортсмен выпрямляет свое туловище, вытягиваясь подобно струне. После чего он сгибает ноги в коленях и тазобедренных суставах и подтягивает их к грудной клетке. Руки нужно отвести назад и опустить вниз. После чего спортсмену требуется выпрямить ноги в коленях и подтянуть таз к участку приземления. На этом этапе завершается этап полета.
Ноги требуется сгибать упруго, с сопротивлением. После остановки спортсмену нужно выпрямиться, сделать вперед 2 шага и выйти из зоны приземления.
Как улучшить результат
Чтобы получить стабильную положительную динамику, важно систематически тренироваться. В летнее время это рекомендуется делать на свежем воздухе, а зимой – в специально обустроенном спортзале. Перед началом тренировки непременно нужно размяться. Этот этап длится 15 минут. Благодаря этому удастся повысить тонус мышечных тканей и уменьшить риск получения травмы.
Чтобы улучшить результаты прыжков в длину с места, рекомендуется выполнять целый ряд упражнений. Чтобы укрепить мышц ног, полезно приседать со штангой, выполнять тяги и жимы. Чтобы лучше группироваться, рекомендуется подтягиваться, отжиматься и делать планку. Эти упражнения способствуют укреплению мышечных тканей спины и пресса. Немаловажное значение имеют аэробные нагрузки. Они улучшают работу сердца и дыхательной системы. Подобные тренировки способствуют развитию выносливости.
Для увеличения дальности прыжка в длину, рекомендуется соблюдать простые правила:
- четко соблюдать технику выполнения упражнения;
- заниматься укреплением мышечных тканей кора с применением нагрузки;
- много бегать – при этом важно максимально высоко поднимать бедра, подтягивая колени к груди;
- практиковать другие виды прыжков;
- делать упражнения на растяжку мышечных тканей;
- следить за прогрессом.
Важно учитывать, что прыжки в длину с места представляют собой довольно сложное упражнение. Потому пытаться сразу достичь впечатляющих результатов не стоит. Сначала требуется овладеть правильной техникой, доведя ее до автоматизма. Систематические тренировки помогут получить видимые результаты.
Прыжки в длину с места считаются достаточно старой спортивной дисциплиной, которая была популярна еще в античные времена. Это упражнение не теряет актуальности и сегодня. Оно входит в программу многих значимых спортивных соревнований.
Прыжки в длину — дисциплина, входящая в программу тренировок и состязаний по легкой атлетике и имеющая официальный Олимпийский статус. В ней принимают участие и мужчины, и женщины.
Прыжки в длину и их история
Прыжки стали олимпийским видом спорта еще в эпоху античности. Они входили в состав пентатлона — спортивного пятиборья древних греков. Однако техника их выполнения отличалась от той, что применяется в наши дни. Атлеты прыгали, держа в руках гантели по 1,5-4,5 кг. Отталкиваясь, приводили руки и ноги в параллельное друг другу положение. До приземления гантели отбрасывались назад, что удлиняло полет. Приземлялись прыгуны в 6-метровую яму, заполненную песком. Дальность прыжка была менее важна, чем стиль исполнения, поэтому сведений о том, на какую длину мог прыгнуть древнегреческий спортсмен, не имеется.
При раскопках древнегреческой Олимпии в 1937–1941 гг. был обнаружен стадион со специально выделенной зоной для выполнения прыжков в длину, рассчитанной на 20 участников. Имелись и 2 возвышения: для атлета и музыканта, ведь игра на флейте была обязательной составляющей соревнований тех времен.
Видоизменяться прыжки в длину стали в 19 в. С этих же пор ведет отсчет и история разнообразных спортивных рекордов в этой области. Поначалу прыжки выполнялись с согнутыми ногами, а затем появились и другие способы, позволяющие увеличить дальность. Одним из таких способов стало перешагивание до отталкивания, напоминающее современные «ножницы».
В первой половине 20 в. возникла техника выполнения прыжка с прогибом. Первым его выполнил финский спортсмен В. Туулос. Одно время применялось сальто, однако высокий риск получения травмы заставил отказаться от него. Сегодня сальто в прыжках в длину запрещено.
Виды прыжков в длину
В настоящее время на тренировках и состязаниях используются 4 основные техники прыжка:
- «В шаге».
- «Прогнувшись».
- «Ножницы».
- «С места».
«В шаге»
Такие прыжки в длину — старейшие в истории. Именно с нее начинается обучение данной дисциплине.
Выполняется прыжок следующим образом:
- После отталкивания ноги атлета принимают положение шага.
- Приземление происходит на маховую ногу, к ней подтягивается толчковая, а туловище слегка наклоняется вперед.
- Перед соприкосновением с песком прыгун сгибает колени, а руки выводит перед собой.
- Ноги выпрямляются и выбрасываются вперед, одновременно руки опускаются вниз и отводятся назад.
Освоению техники «в шаге» предшествует общая прыжковая подготовка, а также обучение бегу на короткие дистанции.
«Прогнувшись»
Такие прыжки в длину технически сложнее предыдущих, поэтому прежде, чем приступить к их освоению, требуется достичь определенного уровня подготовки. Особенно распространена техника «прогнувшись» среди спортсменок.
Суть ее в следующем:
- Оттолкнувшись, атлет принимает положение «в шаге», при этом корпус направлен вперед, а толчковая нога находится сзади и не сгибается.
- Согнутая маховая нога выносится вперед бедром, руки сгибаются и устремляются вверх.
- Маховая конечность опускается вниз и одновременно с толчковой отводится назад, а корпус прогибается в пояснице.
- Колени сгибаются и подтягиваются к груди спортсмена, а затем ноги резко выравниваются, руки отводятся за спину.
- При опускании на песок ноги сгибаются, а руки разводятся в стороны.
«Ножницы»
Данная техника предполагает наличие у спортсмена силовых и скоростных навыков. В прыжке прыгун продолжает выполнять движения ногами, как при беге. Так, при длине прыжка 8 м в воздухе атлет совершает 3,5 шага.
Выглядит это так:
- После отталкивания принимается положение «в шаге».
- Маховая нога выпрямляется и устремляется вниз, затем сгибается и уходит назад.
- Одновременно сгибается толчковая нога и направляется вперед.
- Толчковая нога устремляется вниз, а рука с ее стороны поднимается вверх и выводится вперед.
- Маховая нога направляется вперед, а рука с ее стороны — вперед и в сторону.
- Перед приземлением обе ноги сгибаются и поднимаются к груди, а затем с силой выпрямляются и выводятся вперед.
«С места»
Для выполнения прыжка спортсмен занимает исходное положение у линии старта. Выпрямляет спину и плечи; руки, не сгибая, отводит назад; ноги располагает на уровне плеч.
Прыжок производится следующим образом:
- Руки и ноги немного сгибаются.
- При отталкивании руки резко выводятся вперед.
- Подтягиваются и выпрямляются ноги, спортсмен отталкивается и отрывает стопы от поверхности.
- В полете колени поднимаются к груди, корпус выпрямляется, руки опускаются, стопы устремляются вперед.
- При приземлении руки резко выводятся вперед, ноги сгибаются в коленях.
Фазы прыжка
Независимо от используемой техники прыжки в длину имеют 4 одинаковые фазы:
- Разбег. Предназначен для того, чтобы набрать необходимую скорость перед тем, как оттолкнуться от планки. Для мужчин зона разбега имеет длину 35-45 м., для женщин и юных спортсменов — 25-35 м. По мере ускорения корпус выравнивается так, чтобы последний шаг был выполнен в полностью вертикальном положении. Шаги при беге должны быть одинаковой длины — это позволит правильно поставить ногу на планку. Собственный ритм при разбеге вырабатывается у атлета в результате тренировок.
Дорожка для разбега размечается двумя контрольными линиями, последняя из них делается на расстоянии 6 шагов до планки. Главное при отталкивании — не потерять скорость, для чего предпоследний шаг делается более длинным, а последний — более коротким.
- Отталкивание. До выполнения толчка спортсмен ставит почти прямую ногу на планку, притормаживает, напрягая мускулатуру, а затем отталкивается. При этом маховая нога сгибается, а руки выполняют мах вперед. При этом чем сильнее мах, тем мощнее отталкивание. Туловище при осуществлении толчка выравнивается и чуть отклоняется назад — это помогает принять оптимальную позицию при приземлении.
- Полет. Находясь в воздухе, атлет уже не может каким-либо образом повлиять на траекторию своего движения. Здесь его задача — удержать баланс и грамотно приземлиться. Баланс обеспечивается при условии, что корпус атлета отклоняется назад (без прогиба в пояснице), а ноги выполняют шаг в воздухе. До достижения наивысшей точки прыжка корпус полностью выравнивается, чтобы спортсмен смог заблаговременно перед приземлением поднять ноги.
- Приземление. Чтобы удлинить прыжок, перед соприкосновением с песком прыгун выпрямляет тело, а ноги направляет вниз.
Как оцениваются прыжки в длину
На состязаниях судьи присуждают прыгунам баллы по трем критериям:
- Скорость разбега.
- Сила отталкивания.
- Точность посадки.
На дальность прыжка влияют, прежде всего, первые два показателя. Чем больше ускорение и мощнее толчок, тем продолжительнее полет и, соответственно, приземление происходит в более удаленной точке. Такие навыки приобретаются в результате тренировок ног, в том числе приседаниями, прыжками с утяжелением, а также через препятствия, бегом на короткие дистанции и запрыгиванием на какие-либо поверхности, расположенные вертикально.
Правила безопасных прыжков
При организации состязаний и обустройстве зон для выполнения прыжков в длину большое внимание уделяется безопасности, ведь несоблюдение определенных правил может стать причиной получения атлетом увечья. Наиболее частыми являются растяжения, вывихи, ушибы.
Поэтому в обязательном порядке производятся следующие действия:
- Проверяется глубина ямы, а также качество песка (достаточно ли он рыхлый, нет ли в нем посторонних предметов — камней, осколков и т.п.).
- На стадионах места финиша располагают на достаточном удалении от ямы, чтобы в зоне разбега не могло оказаться случайных людей.
- Яма размещается подальше от стен и различных опор.
- Спортсмены допускаются к прыжкам только после разминки.
Также во избежание неприятностей необходимо четко соблюдать технику прыжков.
Прыжки в длину — древнейший вид спорта, техника которого видоизменялась и совершенствовалась столетиями. Для достижения максимальных результатов на состязаниях, прыгуны должны в совершенстве владеть этой техникой, знать правила безопасности и постоянно развивать силу ног при помощи специальных упражнений.

История прыжков в длину с разбега
Прыжок в длину — упражнение, которое можно отнести к естественному для человека движению. Вероятно, это послужило основанием для включения прыжков в длину в программу пентатлона на олимпийских играх в Древней Греции.
В 1860 г. прыжок был включен в программу легкоатлетических соревнований Оксфордского университета в Англии. Победитель — англичанин Пауэл показал результат 5,28 м. Однако отсчет рекордов в этом виде легкой атлетики начался с результата 6,40 м, показанного англичанином А. Тосуэллом в 1868 г. В 1874 г. впервые был преодолен семиметровый рубеж Д. Лейн (7,05 м).
На первой Олимпиаде в Афинах в 1896 г. победитель в прыжках в длину Э. Кларк (США) показал результат 6,35 м.
Наибольший рост результатов в прыжках в длину пришелся на начало XX в. Американец М. Принстейн довел мировой рекорд до 7,50 м. Однако уже в 1901 г. ирландец П. О’Коннор показал результат 7,61 м, который никому не удавалось улучшить в течение 20 лет. Рубеж 8 м впервые перешагнул американец Д. Оуэнс (8,13 м) в 1935 г. Мировой рекорд Д. Оуэнса продержался до 1960 г.!
Многолетнее соперничество двух выдающихся атлетов Р. Бостона (США) и И. Тер-Ованесяна (СССР) в конце 1950-х — начале 1960-х годов привело к ряду мировых рекордов, последний из которых был равен 8,35 м.
В 1968 г. на Олимпиаде в Мехико американец Б. Бимон установил феноменальный рекорд — 8,90 м. Только в 1991 г. другой американец М. Пауэлл превысил этот результат на 5 см — 8,95 м. До настоящего времени этот результат остается непревзойденным.
История развития прыжков в длину свидетельствует о том, что первый мировой рекорд у женщин был зафиксирован в 1928 г. и принадлежал японской спортсменке К. Хитоми (5,98 м). В 1939 г. его улучшила немка К. Шульц (6,12 м), в 1943 г. — голландка Ф. Бланкерс-Коэн (6,25 м) и в 1954 г. — новозеландка И. Уильямс (6,28 м).
Впервые в 1955 г. мировой рекордсменкой становится советская спортсменка Г. Попова-Виноградова (6,31 м); затем с 1961 по 1964 г. — Т. Щелканова, которая довела мировой рекорд до 6,70 м. В дальнейшем авторами мировых достижений были англичанка М. Рэнд (6,76 м), румынка В. Вискополяну (6,82 м), X. Розендаль (6,84 м) из ФРГ, спортсменки из ГДР А. Фойг (6,92 м) и 3. Зигль (6,99 м). Рубеж 7 м покорился в 1978 г. советской спортсменке В. Бардаускене (7,07 и 7,09 м). С 1982 по 1985 г. рекордсменками мира становились две румынские спортсменки А. Станчу-Кушмир и В. Ионеску, внесшие пять поправок в таблицу рекордов (7,15; 7,20; 7,21; 7,23 и 7,43 м). Последний мировой рекорд А. Станчу-Кушмир превысила немецкая спортсменка X. Дрехслер — 7,44 и 7,45 м. На рубеже 7,45 м остановились три спортсменки — X. Дрехслер (ГДР), Д. Джойнер-Керси (США) и Г. Чистякова (СССР). С 1988 г. Г. Чистякова становится единоличной мировой рекордсменкой — 7,52 м.
Первый рекорд Беларуси у мужчин был зафиксирован в 1924 г. Его установил Лебедев (5,53 м). Впоследствии Н. Кузьмин дважды изменял этот результат и первым преодолел шестиметровый рубеж (6,38 м) в 1928 г. во время проведения первой спартакиады республики.
В 1936 г. В. Садовский прыгнул на 6,39 м, а в 1939 г. Н. Янчевский показал результат 6,82 м. В 1949 г. П. Злотников доводит рекорд до 6,93 м.
Семиметровый рубеж в прыжках в длину был преодолен Б. Михальчуком, который в 1952 г. показал результат 7,01 м. В 1955 г. Ю. Аврутин установил рекорд БССР — 7,06 м, а в 1956 г. В. Иванов прыгнул на 7,16 м. В 1958 г. рекордсменом республики с результатом 7,52 м становится В. Горяев, который до 1961 г. прибавляет к рекорду еще 5 см. В 1967 г. О. Кузнецов показал результат 7,60 м. С 1968 по 1978 г. звание рекордсмена республики удерживал В. Кузьменко, который 4 раза улучшал свой результат (7,69-7,88 м). С 1978 по 1996 г. в таблице рекордов значилась фамилия В. Бельского, участника Олимпийских игр в Москве, который первым в республике преодолел восьмиметровый рубеж. В 1982 г. спортсмен показал результат 8,20 м.
Рекорд БССР у женщин — 4,22 м, установленный в 1928 г., оставался неизменным до 1935 г. Этот результат превысила В. Сергиенко, показав 4,73 м. В 1936 г. 3. Ловецкая доводит рекорд до 4,77 м, но А. Гриневич за короткий срок достигает 4,94 м. В 1946 г. А. Люппен прыгнула на 5,31 м, а через три года — на 5,46 м. С 1951 г. рекордсменкой республики становится Е. Гурвич (5,52 м), в 1954 г. она показывает результат 5,67 м.
В 1956 г. Т. Лукьянцева прыгает на 5,87 м, через год — на 5,92 м, а в 1960 г. первой переходит шестиметровый рубеж — 6,06 и 6,20 м.
Рост рекордов в 1970-е годы связан с именами двух спортсменок — А. Смирновой и Л. Борсук. В 1970 г. А. Смирнова достигла 6,35 м, а через год — 6,49 м. В 1976 г. участница XXI Олимпийских игр в Монреале Л. Борсук установила рекорд республики — 6,60 м.
В течение восьми лет белорусские прыгуньи не могли улучшить этот результат. С 1984 г. началось противостояние двух лучших прыгуний в истории Беларуси — И. Валюкевич и Е. Белевской. И. Валюкевич вносила четыре поправки в таблицу рекордов, Е. Белевская — семь. В 1985 г. Е. Белевская первой перешла семиметровый рубеж — 7,00 м, она же является на сегодняшний день и рекордсменкой республики — 7,39 м.
История совершенствования техники прыжка в длину показывает, что характер движений определяется тремя факторами: скоростью разбега, мощностью отталкивания, эффективностью приземления.
На Олимпийских играх Древней Греции прыжки в длину выполнялись с гантелями в руках. Вес гантелей достигал от 2,25 до 10 фунтов и более (1 фунт — 453 г.) Результат во многом определялся активностью маха гантелями. При отталкивании атлет выносил гантели так, чтобы в середине полета руки и ноги были впереди и располагались почти параллельно между собой. Перед приземлением совершалось активное движение руками назад с целью освобождения от гантелей. Тем самым производилось дополнительное воздействие на тело, что позволяло увеличить длину полета.
Греки уделяли большое внимание стилю прыжка, а не рекордам. Этим объясняется практически отсутствие информации о спортивных результатах, показанных ими в этом виде спорта.
В начале современного этапа развития легкой атлетики, который исчисляется с XIX в., спортсмены использовали различные варианты прыжка (исходя из полетной фазы). Здесь имело место выполнение полета как с сильно согнутыми ногами и высоко поднятыми коленями перед собой («согнув ноги»), так и с несколько напоминающими беговые движениями ногами (прототип «ножниц»). Современный вариант прыжка в длину способом «ножницы» приписывается американскому спортсмену М. Принстейну, который продемонстрировал его еще в 1898 г.
В 1930-х годах получил распространение прыжок способом «прогнувшись», возникновение которого связано с именем финского атлета В. Туулоса.
Впоследствии поиск рациональной техники прыжка привел к использованию сальто. Однако, по решению Международной федерации легкой атлетики, этот стиль прыжка был запрещен из-за травмоопасности.
В настоящее время широкое распространение получил прыжок в длину способом «ножницы». Однако часто можно наблюдать исполнение прыжков способом «прогнувшись» и «согнув ноги».

1. История
Прыжок в длину — дисциплина технических видов легкоатлетической программы, относящаяся к горизонтальным прыжкам. Прыжок в длину требует от спортсменов прыгучести, спринтерских качеств. На первых Олимпийских играх также проводились соревнования по прыжкам в длину с места, но они быстро потеряли популярность. Прыжок в длину относится к наиболее консервативным дисциплинам.
Прыжки в длину как вид спорта зародился еще во времена античности в Древней Греции. Прыжок в длину был одним из упражнений греческого пятиборья (пентатлона).
Античные атлеты выполняли все упражнения с грузом в руках. Чаще всего отягощением были небольшие гантели. Приземления производились на взрыхленную почву или песок.
С появлением легкой атлетики начали проводиться официальные соревнования по этому виду спорта.
Мировой рекорд прыжка с места
Мировой рекорд по прыжкам в длину с места — 373 см, принадлежащий Байрону Джонсу.
Рекорд зафиксирован 23 февраля 2015 года представителем NHL на Scouting Combine, который проходил с 17 по 23 февраля 2015 года на стадионе Lucas Oil в Индианаполисе.
Рекорд основан на официальных данных, опубликованных на сайте Национальной Хоккейной Лиги.
Достоверные рекорды таковы:
- 3,73 метра — мировой рекорд;
- 3,48 метра — рекорд России и СНГ;
- 3,47 метра — олимпийский рекорд;
- 4,08 метра — недостоверный рекорд.
Из российских спортсменов можно отметить Дмитрия Иоселиани, он был спортсменом высочайшего класса. Являлся обладателем 60 рекордов по прыжкам в длину с места. В далеком 1930 году 17-летний юноша стал первым в нашей стране спортсменом, превысившим мировой рекорд. Результат, прославивший прыгуна — 3 м 48 см.
2. Порядок проведения испытаний
Прыжок в длину с места толчком двумя ногами выполняется в соответствующем секторе для прыжков. Место отталкивания должно обеспечивать хорошее сцепление с обувью. Участник принимает ИП: ноги на ширине плеч, ступни параллельно, носки ног перед линией отталкивания. Одновременным толчком двух ног выполняется прыжок вперед. Мах руками допускается.
Измерение производится по перпендикулярной прямой от места отталкивания любой ногой до ближайшего следа, оставленного любой частью тела участника.
Участнику предоставляются три попытки. В зачет идет лучший результат.
Участник имеет право:
- при подготовке и выполнении прыжка производить маховые движения руками;
- использовать полностью время (1 мин), отведённое на подготовку и выполнение прыжка.
Ошибки, в результате которых испытание не засчитывается:
- заступ за линию отталкивания или касание ее;
- выполнение отталкивания с предварительного подскока;
- отталкивание ногами поочередно;
- использование каких-либо отягощений, выбрасываемых во время прыжка;
- уход с места приземления назад по направлению прыжка.
3. Техника выполнения
Техника прыжка с места делится на:
- подготовку к отталкиванию
- отталкивание
- полет
- приземление
Подготовка к отталкиванию: спортсмен подходит к линии отталкивания, стопы ставятся на ширину плеч или чуть уже ширины плеч, затем спортсмен поднимает руки вверх чуть назад, одновременно прогибаясь в пояснице и поднимаясь на носки. После этого плавно, но достаточно быстро опускает руки вниз-назад, одновременно опускается на всю стопу, сгибает ноги в коленных и тазобедренных суставах, наклоняясь вперед так, чтобы плечи были впереди стоп, а тазобедренный сустав находился над носками.
Руки, отведенные назад, слегка согнуты в локтевых суставах. Не задерживаясь в этом положении, спортсмен переходит к отталкиванию.
Отталкивание важно начинать в момент, когда тело прыгуна еще опускается по инерции вниз, т.е. тело движется вниз, но уже начинается разгибание в тазобедренных суставах, при этом руки активно и быстро выносятся вперед чуть вверх по направлению прыжка.
Далее происходит разгибание в коленных суставах и сгибание в голеностопных суставах. Завершается отталкивание в момент отрыва стоп от грунта.
После отталкивания прыгун распрямляет свое тело, вытянувшись как струна, затем сгибает ноги в коленных и тазобедренных суставах и подтягивает их к груди. Руки при этом отводятся назад-вниз, после чего спортсмен выпрямляет ноги в коленных суставах, выводя стопы вперед к месту приземления. В момент касания ногами места приземления прыгун активно выводит руки вперед, одновременно сгибает ноги в коленных суставах и подтягивает таз к месту приземления, заканчивается фаза полета. Сгибание ног должно быть упругим, с сопротивлением. После остановки прыгун выпрямляется, делает два шага вперед и выходит с места приземления.

Как улучшить прыжок в длину с места?
Чтобы достичь стабильной положительной динамики, необходимо регулярно тренироваться. Летом это можно делать на природе, в холодное время года — в оборудованном спортзале. Перед тренировкой обязательна 15-минутная разминка. Благодаря ей мышцы придут в тонус, а риск травмирования в разы снизится.
Совершенствование прыжка в длину с места предполагает выполнение и других упражнений. Для укрепления мышц ног полезны приседания со штангой, жимы, тяги. Чтобы легко и просто группироваться, надо делать планку, отжимания и подтягивания. Они помогут укрепить мышцы пресса и спины. Большое внимание требуется уделить аэробным нагрузкам, при которых в работу включаются сердце и дыхательная система. Такие тренировки направлены на улучшение выносливости.
Чтобы увеличить дальность прыжка в длину, придерживайтесь несложных правил:
- строго соблюдайте технику выполнения упражнения;
- укрепляйте мышцы кора, используя нагрузку;
- больше бегайте, во время бега как можно выше поднимайте бедра и подтягивайте колени к груди;
- практикуйте другие виды прыжков;
- выполняйте упражнения на растяжку мышц;
- отслеживайте прогресс.
Прыжки в длину являются сложным упражнением. Не нужно сразу гнаться за высокими показателями. В начале, важно освоить правильную технику и довести ее до автоматизма. Возможно, это будет не так быстро, как хочется, но после регулярных тренировок обязательно появится результат.
1. И.п. — встать на одной ноге, другую согнуть в колене. Скачки на одной ноге через скамейку: а) на месте; б) с продвижением вперед. На каждой ноге 50-100 скачков. Отталкивание преимущественно стопой. Выполнять в среднем темпе.
2. И.п. — глубокий присед, упор на носках, в руках гантели по 4-10 кг каждая или гриф штанги. Выпрыгивания. Повторить 8-12 раз. Не наклонять плечи вперед. Туловище прямое. Акцент на выполнении заключительной части отталкивания. Выполнять в среднем темпе с ускорением в момент выпрыгивания.
3. И.п. — встать на двух ногах, несколько согнутых в коленях. Прыжки с преодолением поочередно 4-8 барьеров, расположенных на расстоянии 90-120 см один от другого. Отталкиваться двумя ногами. Повторить 3 раза. При прыжке через барьер туловище держать прямо. Выполнять в среднем темпе.

Women’s Long Jump Final – 28th Summer Universiade 2015
The long jump is a track and field event in which athletes combine speed, strength and agility in an attempt to leap as far as possible from a takeoff point. Along with the triple jump, the two events that measure jumping for distance as a group are referred to as the «horizontal jumps». This event has a history in the ancient Olympic Games and has been a modern Olympic event for men since the first Olympics in 1896 and for women since 1948.
Rules[edit]
An indicator of wind direction and a device for measuring wind speed (here +2.6 m/s) along a run-up track
At the elite level, competitors run down a runway (usually coated with the same rubberized surface as running tracks, crumb rubber or vulcanized rubber, known generally as an all-weather track) and jump as far as they can from a wooden or synthetic board, 20 centimetres or 8 inches wide, that is built flush with the runway, into a pit filled with soft damp sand. If the competitor starts the leap with any part of the foot past the foul line, the jump is declared a foul and no distance is recorded. A layer of plasticine is placed immediately after the board to detect this occurrence. An official (similar to a referee) will also watch the jump and make the determination. The competitor can initiate the jump from any point behind the foul line; however, the distance measured will always be perpendicular to the foul line to the nearest break in the sand caused by any part of the body or uniform. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the competitor to get as close to the foul line as possible. Competitors are allowed to place two marks along the side of the runway in order to assist them to jump accurately. At a lesser meet and facilities, the plasticine will likely not exist, the runway might be a different surface or jumpers may initiate their jump from a painted or taped mark on the runway. At a smaller meet, the number of attempts might also be limited to four or three.
Each competitor has a set number of attempts. That would normally be three trials, with three additional jumps being awarded to the best eight or nine (depending on the number of lanes on the track at that facility, so the event is equatable to track events) competitors. All valid attempts will be recorded but only the best mark counts towards the results. The competitor with the longest valid jump (from either the trial or final rounds) is declared the winner at the end of competition. In the event of an exact tie, then comparing the next best jumps of the tied competitors will be used to determine place. In a large, multi-day elite competition (like the Olympics or World Championships), a qualification is held in order to select at least 12 finalists. Ties and automatic qualifying distances are potential factors. In the final, a set of trial round jumps will be held, with the best eight performers advancing to the final rounds. (For specific rules and regulations in United States Track & Field see Rule 185)[1]
For record purposes, the maximum accepted wind assistance is two metres per second (m/s) (4.5 mph).
History[edit]
Halteres used in athletic games in ancient Greece

The long jump is the only known jumping event of ancient Greece’s original Olympics’ pentathlon events. All events that occurred at the Olympic Games were initially supposed to act as a form of training for warfare. The long jump emerged probably because it mirrored the crossing of obstacles such as streams and ravines.[2] After investigating the surviving depictions of the ancient event it is believed that unlike the modern event, athletes were only allowed a short running start.[2] The athletes carried a weight in each hand, which were called halteres (between 1 and 4.5 kg). These weights were swung forward as the athlete jumped in order to increase momentum. It was commonly believed that the jumper would throw the weights behind him in midair to increase his forward momentum; however, halteres were held throughout the duration of the jump. Swinging them down and back at the end of the jump would change the athlete’s center of gravity and allow the athlete to stretch his legs outward, increasing his distance. The jump itself was made from the bater («that which is trod upon»). It was most likely a simple board placed on the stadium track which was removed after the event. The jumpers would land in what was called a skamma («dug-up» area). The idea that this was a pit full of sand is wrong. Sand in the jumping pit is a modern invention.[3] The skamma was simply a temporary area dug up for that occasion and not something that remained over time.
The long jump was considered one of the most difficult of the events held at the Games since a great deal of skill was required. Music was often played during the jump and Philostratus says that pipes at times would accompany the jump so as to provide a rhythm for the complex movements of the halteres by the athlete.[2] Philostratus is quoted as saying, «The rules regard jumping as the most difficult of the competitions, and they allow the jumper to be given advantages in rhythm by the use of the flute, and in weight by the use of the halter.»[4] Most notable in the ancient sport was a man called Chionis, who in the 656 BC Olympics staged a jump of 7.05 m (23 ft 1+1⁄2 in).[5]
There has been some argument by modern scholars over the long jump. Some have attempted to recreate it as a triple jump. The images provide the only evidence for the action so it is more well received that it was much like today’s long jump. The main reason some want to call it a triple jump is the presence of a source that claims there once was a fifty-five ancient foot jump done by a man named Phayllos.[6]
The long jump has been part of modern Olympic competition since the inception of the Games in 1896. In 1914, Dr. Harry Eaton Stewart recommended the «running broad jump» as a standardized track and field event for women.[7] However, it was not until 1948 that the women’s long jump was added to the Olympic athletics programme.
Technique[edit]

There are five main components of the long jump: the approach run, the last two strides, takeoff, action in the air, and landing. Speed in the run-up, or approach, and a high leap off the board are the fundamentals of success. Because speed is such an important factor of the approach, it is not surprising that many long jumpers also compete successfully in sprints. A classic example of this long jump / sprint doubling are performances by Carl Lewis.
Approach[edit]
The objective of the approach is to gradually accelerate to a maximum controlled speed at takeoff. The most important factor for the distance travelled by an object is its velocity at takeoff – both the speed and angle. Elite jumpers usually leave the ground at an angle of twenty degrees or less;[8] therefore, it is more beneficial for a jumper to focus on the speed component of the jump. The greater the speed at takeoff, the longer the trajectory of the center of mass will be. The importance of a takeoff speed is a factor in the success of sprinters in this event.
The length of the approach is usually consistent distance for an athlete. Approaches can vary between 12 and 19 steps on the novice and intermediate levels, while at the elite level they are closer to between 20 and 22 steps. The exact distance and number of steps in an approach depends on the jumper’s experience, sprinting technique, and conditioning level. Consistency in the approach is important as it is the competitor’s objective to get as close to the front of the takeoff board as possible without crossing the line with any part of the foot.
Last two steps[edit]
The objective of the last two steps is to prepare the body for takeoff while conserving as much speed as possible.
The penultimate step is longer than the previous ones and than the final one before takeoff. The competitor begins to lower his or her center of gravity to prepare the body for the vertical impulse. The last step is shorter because the body is beginning to raise the center of gravity in preparation for takeoff.
The last two steps are extremely important because they determine the velocity with which the competitor will enter the jump.
Takeoff[edit]
The objective of the takeoff is to create a vertical impulse through the athlete’s center of gravity while maintaining balance and control.
This phase is one of the most technical parts of the long jump. Jumpers must be conscious to place the foot flat on the ground, because jumping off either the heels or the toes negatively affects the jump. Taking off from the board heel-first has a braking effect, which decreases velocity and strains the joints. Jumping off the toes decreases stability, putting the leg at risk of buckling or collapsing from underneath the jumper. While concentrating on foot placement, the athlete must also work to maintain proper body position, keeping the torso upright and moving the hips forward and up to achieve the maximum distance from board contact to foot release.
There are four main styles of takeoff: the kick style, double-arm style, sprint takeoff, and the power sprint or bounding takeoff.
Kick[edit]
The kick style takeoff is where the athlete actively cycles the leg before a full impulse has been directed into the board then landing into the pit. This requires great strength in the hamstrings. This causes the jumper to jump to large distances.
Double-arm[edit]
The double-arm style of takeoff works by moving both arms in a vertical direction as the competitor takes off. This produces a high hip height and a large vertical impulse.
Sprint[edit]
The sprint takeoff is the style most widely instructed by coaching staff. This is a classic single-arm action that resembles a jumper in full stride. It is an efficient takeoff style for maintaining velocity through takeoff.
Power sprint or bounding[edit]
The power sprint takeoff, or bounding takeoff, is one of the more common elite styles. Very similar to the sprint style, the body resembles a sprinter in full stride. However, there is one major difference. The arm that pushes back on takeoff (the arm on the side of the takeoff leg) fully extends backward, rather than remaining at a bent position. This additional extension increases the impulse at takeoff.
The «correct» style of takeoff will vary from athlete to athlete.
Action in the air and landing[edit]
There are three major flight techniques for the long jump: the hang, the sail, and the hitch-kick. Each technique is to combat the forward rotation experienced from take-off but is basically down to preference from the athlete. It is important to note that once the body is airborne, there is nothing that the athlete can do to change the direction they are traveling and consequently where they are going to land in the pit. However, it can be argued that certain techniques influence an athlete’s landing, which can affect the distance measured. For example, if an athlete lands feet first but falls back because they are not correctly balanced, a lower distance will be measured.
In the 1970s, some jumpers used a forward somersault, including Tuariki Delamere who used it at the 1974 NCAA Championships, and who matched the jump of the then Olympic champion Randy Williams. The somersault jump has potential to produce longer jumps than other techniques because in the flip, no power is lost countering forward momentum, and it reduces wind resistance in the air.[9] The front flip jump was subsequently banned for fear that it was unsafe.
Records[edit]
Sand pit where Bob Beamon set the 8.90 m record in Mexico City
The men’s long jump world record has been held by just four individuals for the majority of time since the IAAF started to ratify records. The first mark recognized by the IAAF in 1912, the 7.61 m (24 ft 11+1⁄2 in) performance by Peter O’Connor, stood just short of 20 years (nine years as an IAAF record). After it was broken in 1921, the record changed hands five times until Jesse Owens set the mark of 8.13 m (26 ft 8 in) at the 1935 Big Ten track meet in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a record that was not broken for over 25 years, until 1960 by Ralph Boston. Boston improved upon it and exchanged records with Igor Ter-Ovanesyan three times over the next seven years. At the 1968 Summer Olympics, Bob Beamon jumped 8.90 m (29 ft 2+1⁄4 in) at an altitude of 2,292 m (7,520 ft),[10] a record jump not exceeded for almost 23 years, and which remains the second longest wind legal jump of all time; it has now stood as the Olympic record for over 54 years. On 30 August 1991, Mike Powell of the United States set the current men’s world record at the World Championships in Tokyo. It was in a dramatic showdown against Carl Lewis who also surpassed Beamon’s record that day, but his jump was wind-assisted (and thus not legal for record purposes). Powell’s record of 8.95 m (29 ft 4+1⁄4 in) has now stood for over 31 years.
Some jumps over 8.95 m (29 ft 4+1⁄4 in) have been officially recorded. Wind-assisted 8.99 m (29 ft 5+3⁄4 in) were recorded by Powell at high altitude in Sestriere in 1992. A potential world record of 8.96 m (29 ft 4+3⁄4 in) was recorded by Iván Pedroso also in Sestriere. Despite a «legal» wind reading, the jump was not validated because videotape revealed a person standing in front of the wind gauge, invalidating the reading (and costing Pedroso a Ferrari valued at $130,000—the prize for breaking the record at that meet).[11] As mentioned above, Lewis jumped 8.91 m (29 ft 2+3⁄4 in) moments before Powell’s record-breaking jump with the wind exceeding the maximum allowed. This jump remains the longest ever not to win an Olympic or World Championship gold medal, or any competition in general.
The women’s world record has seen more consistent improvement, though the current record has stood longer than any other long jump world record by men or women. The longest to hold the record prior was by Fanny Blankers-Koen during World War II. who held it for over 10 years. There have been four occasions when the record was tied and three when it was improved upon twice in the same competition. The current women’s world record is held by Galina Chistyakova of the former Soviet Union who leapt 7.52 m (24 ft 8 in) in Leningrad on 11 June 1988, a mark that has now stood for over 34 years.

Women’s Long Jump Final – 28th Summer Universiade 2015
The long jump is a track and field event in which athletes combine speed, strength and agility in an attempt to leap as far as possible from a takeoff point. Along with the triple jump, the two events that measure jumping for distance as a group are referred to as the «horizontal jumps». This event has a history in the ancient Olympic Games and has been a modern Olympic event for men since the first Olympics in 1896 and for women since 1948.
Rules[edit]
An indicator of wind direction and a device for measuring wind speed (here +2.6 m/s) along a run-up track
At the elite level, competitors run down a runway (usually coated with the same rubberized surface as running tracks, crumb rubber or vulcanized rubber, known generally as an all-weather track) and jump as far as they can from a wooden or synthetic board, 20 centimetres or 8 inches wide, that is built flush with the runway, into a pit filled with soft damp sand. If the competitor starts the leap with any part of the foot past the foul line, the jump is declared a foul and no distance is recorded. A layer of plasticine is placed immediately after the board to detect this occurrence. An official (similar to a referee) will also watch the jump and make the determination. The competitor can initiate the jump from any point behind the foul line; however, the distance measured will always be perpendicular to the foul line to the nearest break in the sand caused by any part of the body or uniform. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the competitor to get as close to the foul line as possible. Competitors are allowed to place two marks along the side of the runway in order to assist them to jump accurately. At a lesser meet and facilities, the plasticine will likely not exist, the runway might be a different surface or jumpers may initiate their jump from a painted or taped mark on the runway. At a smaller meet, the number of attempts might also be limited to four or three.
Each competitor has a set number of attempts. That would normally be three trials, with three additional jumps being awarded to the best eight or nine (depending on the number of lanes on the track at that facility, so the event is equatable to track events) competitors. All valid attempts will be recorded but only the best mark counts towards the results. The competitor with the longest valid jump (from either the trial or final rounds) is declared the winner at the end of competition. In the event of an exact tie, then comparing the next best jumps of the tied competitors will be used to determine place. In a large, multi-day elite competition (like the Olympics or World Championships), a qualification is held in order to select at least 12 finalists. Ties and automatic qualifying distances are potential factors. In the final, a set of trial round jumps will be held, with the best eight performers advancing to the final rounds. (For specific rules and regulations in United States Track & Field see Rule 185)[1]
For record purposes, the maximum accepted wind assistance is two metres per second (m/s) (4.5 mph).
History[edit]
Halteres used in athletic games in ancient Greece
Black-figured Tyrrhenian amphora showing athletes and a combat scene, 540 BC
The long jump is the only known jumping event of ancient Greece’s original Olympics’ pentathlon events. All events that occurred at the Olympic Games were initially supposed to act as a form of training for warfare. The long jump emerged probably because it mirrored the crossing of obstacles such as streams and ravines.[2] After investigating the surviving depictions of the ancient event it is believed that unlike the modern event, athletes were only allowed a short running start.[2] The athletes carried a weight in each hand, which were called halteres (between 1 and 4.5 kg). These weights were swung forward as the athlete jumped in order to increase momentum. It was commonly believed that the jumper would throw the weights behind him in midair to increase his forward momentum; however, halteres were held throughout the duration of the jump. Swinging them down and back at the end of the jump would change the athlete’s center of gravity and allow the athlete to stretch his legs outward, increasing his distance. The jump itself was made from the bater («that which is trod upon»). It was most likely a simple board placed on the stadium track which was removed after the event. The jumpers would land in what was called a skamma («dug-up» area). The idea that this was a pit full of sand is wrong. Sand in the jumping pit is a modern invention.[3] The skamma was simply a temporary area dug up for that occasion and not something that remained over time.
The long jump was considered one of the most difficult of the events held at the Games since a great deal of skill was required. Music was often played during the jump and Philostratus says that pipes at times would accompany the jump so as to provide a rhythm for the complex movements of the halteres by the athlete.[2] Philostratus is quoted as saying, «The rules regard jumping as the most difficult of the competitions, and they allow the jumper to be given advantages in rhythm by the use of the flute, and in weight by the use of the halter.»[4] Most notable in the ancient sport was a man called Chionis, who in the 656 BC Olympics staged a jump of 7.05 m (23 ft 1+1⁄2 in).[5]
There has been some argument by modern scholars over the long jump. Some have attempted to recreate it as a triple jump. The images provide the only evidence for the action so it is more well received that it was much like today’s long jump. The main reason some want to call it a triple jump is the presence of a source that claims there once was a fifty-five ancient foot jump done by a man named Phayllos.[6]
The long jump has been part of modern Olympic competition since the inception of the Games in 1896. In 1914, Dr. Harry Eaton Stewart recommended the «running broad jump» as a standardized track and field event for women.[7] However, it was not until 1948 that the women’s long jump was added to the Olympic athletics programme.
Technique[edit]

There are five main components of the long jump: the approach run, the last two strides, takeoff, action in the air, and landing. Speed in the run-up, or approach, and a high leap off the board are the fundamentals of success. Because speed is such an important factor of the approach, it is not surprising that many long jumpers also compete successfully in sprints. A classic example of this long jump / sprint doubling are performances by Carl Lewis.
Approach[edit]
The objective of the approach is to gradually accelerate to a maximum controlled speed at takeoff. The most important factor for the distance travelled by an object is its velocity at takeoff – both the speed and angle. Elite jumpers usually leave the ground at an angle of twenty degrees or less;[8] therefore, it is more beneficial for a jumper to focus on the speed component of the jump. The greater the speed at takeoff, the longer the trajectory of the center of mass will be. The importance of a takeoff speed is a factor in the success of sprinters in this event.
The length of the approach is usually consistent distance for an athlete. Approaches can vary between 12 and 19 steps on the novice and intermediate levels, while at the elite level they are closer to between 20 and 22 steps. The exact distance and number of steps in an approach depends on the jumper’s experience, sprinting technique, and conditioning level. Consistency in the approach is important as it is the competitor’s objective to get as close to the front of the takeoff board as possible without crossing the line with any part of the foot.
Last two steps[edit]
The objective of the last two steps is to prepare the body for takeoff while conserving as much speed as possible.
The penultimate step is longer than the previous ones and than the final one before takeoff. The competitor begins to lower his or her center of gravity to prepare the body for the vertical impulse. The last step is shorter because the body is beginning to raise the center of gravity in preparation for takeoff.
The last two steps are extremely important because they determine the velocity with which the competitor will enter the jump.
Takeoff[edit]
The objective of the takeoff is to create a vertical impulse through the athlete’s center of gravity while maintaining balance and control.
This phase is one of the most technical parts of the long jump. Jumpers must be conscious to place the foot flat on the ground, because jumping off either the heels or the toes negatively affects the jump. Taking off from the board heel-first has a braking effect, which decreases velocity and strains the joints. Jumping off the toes decreases stability, putting the leg at risk of buckling or collapsing from underneath the jumper. While concentrating on foot placement, the athlete must also work to maintain proper body position, keeping the torso upright and moving the hips forward and up to achieve the maximum distance from board contact to foot release.
There are four main styles of takeoff: the kick style, double-arm style, sprint takeoff, and the power sprint or bounding takeoff.
Kick[edit]
The kick style takeoff is where the athlete actively cycles the leg before a full impulse has been directed into the board then landing into the pit. This requires great strength in the hamstrings. This causes the jumper to jump to large distances.
Double-arm[edit]
The double-arm style of takeoff works by moving both arms in a vertical direction as the competitor takes off. This produces a high hip height and a large vertical impulse.
Sprint[edit]
The sprint takeoff is the style most widely instructed by coaching staff. This is a classic single-arm action that resembles a jumper in full stride. It is an efficient takeoff style for maintaining velocity through takeoff.
Power sprint or bounding[edit]
The power sprint takeoff, or bounding takeoff, is one of the more common elite styles. Very similar to the sprint style, the body resembles a sprinter in full stride. However, there is one major difference. The arm that pushes back on takeoff (the arm on the side of the takeoff leg) fully extends backward, rather than remaining at a bent position. This additional extension increases the impulse at takeoff.
The «correct» style of takeoff will vary from athlete to athlete.
Action in the air and landing[edit]
There are three major flight techniques for the long jump: the hang, the sail, and the hitch-kick. Each technique is to combat the forward rotation experienced from take-off but is basically down to preference from the athlete. It is important to note that once the body is airborne, there is nothing that the athlete can do to change the direction they are traveling and consequently where they are going to land in the pit. However, it can be argued that certain techniques influence an athlete’s landing, which can affect the distance measured. For example, if an athlete lands feet first but falls back because they are not correctly balanced, a lower distance will be measured.
In the 1970s, some jumpers used a forward somersault, including Tuariki Delamere who used it at the 1974 NCAA Championships, and who matched the jump of the then Olympic champion Randy Williams. The somersault jump has potential to produce longer jumps than other techniques because in the flip, no power is lost countering forward momentum, and it reduces wind resistance in the air.[9] The front flip jump was subsequently banned for fear that it was unsafe.
Records[edit]
Sand pit where Bob Beamon set the 8.90 m record in Mexico City
The men’s long jump world record has been held by just four individuals for the majority of time since the IAAF started to ratify records. The first mark recognized by the IAAF in 1912, the 7.61 m (24 ft 11+1⁄2 in) performance by Peter O’Connor, stood just short of 20 years (nine years as an IAAF record). After it was broken in 1921, the record changed hands five times until Jesse Owens set the mark of 8.13 m (26 ft 8 in) at the 1935 Big Ten track meet in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a record that was not broken for over 25 years, until 1960 by Ralph Boston. Boston improved upon it and exchanged records with Igor Ter-Ovanesyan three times over the next seven years. At the 1968 Summer Olympics, Bob Beamon jumped 8.90 m (29 ft 2+1⁄4 in) at an altitude of 2,292 m (7,520 ft),[10] a record jump not exceeded for almost 23 years, and which remains the second longest wind legal jump of all time; it has now stood as the Olympic record for over 54 years. On 30 August 1991, Mike Powell of the United States set the current men’s world record at the World Championships in Tokyo. It was in a dramatic showdown against Carl Lewis who also surpassed Beamon’s record that day, but his jump was wind-assisted (and thus not legal for record purposes). Powell’s record of 8.95 m (29 ft 4+1⁄4 in) has now stood for over 31 years.
Some jumps over 8.95 m (29 ft 4+1⁄4 in) have been officially recorded. Wind-assisted 8.99 m (29 ft 5+3⁄4 in) were recorded by Powell at high altitude in Sestriere in 1992. A potential world record of 8.96 m (29 ft 4+3⁄4 in) was recorded by Iván Pedroso also in Sestriere. Despite a «legal» wind reading, the jump was not validated because videotape revealed a person standing in front of the wind gauge, invalidating the reading (and costing Pedroso a Ferrari valued at $130,000—the prize for breaking the record at that meet).[11] As mentioned above, Lewis jumped 8.91 m (29 ft 2+3⁄4 in) moments before Powell’s record-breaking jump with the wind exceeding the maximum allowed. This jump remains the longest ever not to win an Olympic or World Championship gold medal, or any competition in general.
The women’s world record has seen more consistent improvement, though the current record has stood longer than any other long jump world record by men or women. The longest to hold the record prior was by Fanny Blankers-Koen during World War II. who held it for over 10 years. There have been four occasions when the record was tied and three when it was improved upon twice in the same competition. The current women’s world record is held by Galina Chistyakova of the former Soviet Union who leapt 7.52 m (24 ft 8 in) in Leningrad on 11 June 1988, a mark that has now stood for over 34 years.
