The jumper lands in a pit beyond the bar that is at least 5 by 3 meters (16.4 feet by
9.8 feet) in size and filled with cushioning material.
Crossbar:
Length= 4m
Weight= 2kg
Diameter= 30mm
Runway:
20m or minimum 15 meter
The Straddle:
the straddle the jumper crosses the bar while facing the bar. From this position, the
jumper has a huge advantage because they will be going over a height more relative
to their center of mass. Basically, the western roll jumper has to raise the width of the
body above the bar; the straddle jumper has only to get the thickness of the body
above it, which is going to be several inches less.
The Fosbury flop:
During the approach with the Fosbury Flop style, the last several steps are in a
curved away from the bar. This allows the center of gravity to be lowered even
before knee flexion. This allows for a longer amount of time before the takeoff thrust.
This method also allows for the motion to create a rotation which helps them curve
their bodies around the bar.While in the air, the athlete will progressively arch their
back, causing an even greater degree of rotation. The more rotation there is, the
lower the center of mass will be, meaning the higher the athlete may clear.

How to conduct:
The Standing long jump, also called the Broad Jump, is a common and
easy to administer test of explosive leg power.
purpose:
equipment required:
tape measure to measure distance jumped, non-slip floor for takeoff, and
soft landing area preferred. Commercial Long Jump Landing Mats are also
available
procedure:
The athlete stands behind a line marked on the ground with feet slightly
apart. A two foot take-off and landing is used, with swinging of the arms
and bending of the knees to provide forward drive. The subject attempts
to jump as far as possible, landing on both feet without falling backwards.
Three attempts are allowed.
scoring:
The measurement is taken from take-off line to the nearest point of
contact on the landing (back of the heels). Record the longest distance
jumped, the best of three attempts.
males females
equipment required:
oval or 400m running track, marker cones, stopwatch, recording sheets.
Procedure:
To start, the participant lines up behind the starting line. On the
command ‘ready, start’, the clock will start, and they will begin running.
The subject is to run for 45 seconds as fast as possible without stopping.
Call out when 45 seconds is up and make note of the distance covered.
scoring:
The total distance covered in 45 seconds is recorded.
