What is a good score for long jump?
Long Jump Test Results. The standing long jump test, also called the Broad Jump, is a common and easy to administer test of explosive leg power. An excellent result is greater than 2.50 meters for men (8′ 2.5″) and 2.00 meters for women (6′ 6.75″).
Where do you measure in long jump?
The long jump is measured from the takeoff board to the nearest mark in the sand. You should therefore always try to fall forward when you land and walk out of the front of the pit. If you fall or walk backward, your jump will be measured from that shorter distance.
Is a 16 foot long jump good?
14 feet would be pretty good. 16 and over would be very good if not excellent. Important thing is work on improving.
Where do you measure long jump from?
Where do you start measuring a long jump?
Start the measurement at the edge of the takeoff board. The goal of the competitor is to begin the takeoff from as close to the front of the board as possible without having any part of the foot cross it. All jumps are measured starting at the front edge of the takeoff board.
How many strides should I take before a long jump?
Practice your run-up several times to determine how many strides you’ll take before performing the jump. Generally, the number of strides corresponds to your age, for example: 10 years = 10-11 strides 11 years = 10-12 strides
What are the rules for the long jump?
Rules and Regulations No part of the athlete’s foot should cross the front edge of the foul line. Typically, in International track and field events, a long jumper has three attempts to register his or her best legal jump. The distance, or the ‘jump’ is measured from the front edge of the foul line to the first landing point of the athlete.
How are distance markers used for long jump?
Place markers around the sand pit to make measuring easier. In addition to having multiple judges lined up alongside the landing zone, put distance markers next to the pit for a more efficient measuring system. Place these markers every one meter until you reach the end of the landing zone.
