How did the track and field event - Triple Jump originate? I mean, who came up with that whole concept?
According to the Encyclop忙dia Britannica, the origins of the triple jump are obscure, but it may be related to the ancient children's game hopscotch. It has been a modern Olympic event since the first Games in 1896; at those Games two hops were used, but one hop was used at the Olympics thereafter. (The standing triple jump was contested only in the 1900 and 1904 Olympics.)
When does Long and Triple Jump take place in the olympics (2008)...Day & Time plz?
When are the Long and Triple Jump competitions for Track and Field going to take place in the Beijing 2008 olympics???? plz give specific time and date. And whos competing from which country etc.?????|||i just checked online an hour ago and it said tonight at 9:00 but i watched at 9:00 and it wasn't on so maybe it will be on tomorrow at 9:00
How do I Improve my triple jump?
I can get 8m easily , my highest is 9 m 10cm but i want to get further!!!|||measure each phase and I will bet your second phase needs to be lengthened.
I'm 44 and want to train long & triple jump (for masters). How to train (examples for training sessions)?
The same general training schedule that you would use as a high school or college student-athlete. The only real difference is that you will need more time to recover between interval and workouts. I was not a very good LJer in hs so I moved to the distance races were I am still am today at 43. As a result, you will need to train smarter and sometimes harder. I not very knowledgeable about training for the jump, but try the National Master News website. They have links related to training for people like us. Also try geezerjock.com
Also you will need to be more aware of you nutritional intake and possibly use supplements.
For specific workouts do a Goggle search for track and field coaching resources. Try CoachesEducation.com or for books try Track and Field News (TrackandFieldNews.com) and Human Kinetics has a huge selection of books on the topic that you may not find in your neighborhood book store
Good Luck

Workout for high jump and triple jump?
Workout for high jump and triple jump?
Could you tell me any workouts to do better in these. right now im doin pretty good and i think i could make it to regionals next year, cuz i was only a foot away from goin there this year in triple jump. i already do squats and leg extensions and leg curls and was wondering what other workouts could work. and also does doing lunges help those?|||There are a bunch of workouts and drills you can do. You mentioned that you do squats and leg extensions! If you have a coach who knows what they are doing you should definitely be looking into using olympic lifts. These include the clean and jerk, and the snatch. These lifts are extremely important in developing explosive strength. Lunges will work, but I would begin to focus on olympic lifts.
*Make sure you have (or find) a coach who is knowledgeable in those lifts. If they are not, then find someone who is or don't do them at all.
The other factor (most important) is to consider what you are doing with the approach in each event. You have to have a fast consistent approach. Obviously each event is different but you need to practice drills that develop consistency. The more consistent your approach the more opportunities you have to jump higher and farther.
Then there are many drills you can do also to improve your skills in each event. But focus on the approach.
Here are two pages that have drills for the high jump and triple jump

I need a training schedule for 200m,400m,triple jump?
I have my school athletics meet in 10 weeks and I need a training schedule for these three events. Much appreciated. I have lots of athletic meets until December 2011 but this one is the one I want to win. Please help! :)
oh and by the way I'm 14 going on 15!|||There might be some similarity with the 200 and 400 but the triple jump is a totally different event. For the 400: Google Clyde Hart, arguably the best 400 coach in the world. His runners have ranked #1 in the world 14 out of the last 19 years, are currently 1 and 3 on the all time world list and have won 3 of the last 4 Olympics and 6 of the last 8 World Championships. Another of his athletes won the World Championships last year. This is from a seminar of his.
Strategy
Reach race speed as early as possible in first 50m cruise to 200m then accelerate steadily next 100m and hold form for last 100m
Workouts done to rehearse strategy called EVENT workouts
eg 3 x (350m rest 1min 100) 5min rest
or Event 300s
Which were run with first 50m very quick but then relaxing to go through first 200m and then the last 100 all out rest 10min between, shorten later to maybe 5min. Aimed to have consistent stride frequency and length for duration of race - not a longer stride at end, allow a shorter stride to just happen but maintain cadence.
Holding Form
Improved by Strength Endurance
Upper body strength from exercises like running arms with good form 5 x 15 each arm with 30s rest.
Off season: do two aerobic runs a week 20-45min max. This was for first 3 weeks mostly but off season was usually 6 weeks.
Longer reps 2 x 800m or 3 x 600m rest 15min
Common key workout In pre-season
3 x 350m rest 5min, later in season it becomes 3 x 350m rest 3min, each 50m at same speed.
One Speed workout was called 60 -40m
2 sets of 2 laps of 60m at 95% slow down 40m then pitter-patter jog 40m then 60m at 95% 40m slow down - pitter patter jog 40m. rest between sets 5min
Speed work often was 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 on bend with full recoveries
Weight Training
3 Gym sessions a week usually in morning from about 9am till 10am - over in an hour.
On any day sometime done Mon-Tue-Wed or spread out in week.
Weights is general all body work with short recoveries and usually 3 sets of 10, rest less than 1 min maybe 30 sec. No squats, no Olympic lifts, Also did good variety of core work eg 3 x 30m sit-ups 1 min rest Gym did not change in format throughout the season
No really heavy lifting, do lunges
Normal Warm up
4 laps jog straight - run bends
Stretch 30min
Drills 4-5 x 30m over a speed ladder with fast cadence. This Michael believed was significant effect on his turnover. These were done with a flatish footed contact not with feet pointing down and a quick recovery. Buildups sometimes for example 3 x 150m with each 50m quicker.
Then workout
Competition Warm up
4 laps as usual
Stretch 30min
3 x 100m - first moderate, harder, fast with full recoveries
A few pre-race drills
At the Competition
Expect the unexpected
Visualization
Train the mind to control the body in competition in the way that is wanted.
Sustained Speed work
60m %26amp; over was at 95% - never 100%.
Longer work was done for stimulus not for race pace rehearsal, so nearly all was at paces slower than race pace.
Speed
6 x 100m at 95% non-timed from standing start rest 5min
Better to undertrain than overtrain
Workout Accuracy
- cones every 50m - beeper sounded at set intervals - athlete ran each 50m at same speed. - Be on the buzzer
- Standing starts
- Workouts done at times planned not faster - not slower.
Important not to go faster than predetermined targets even with 200s in 32s!!
Annual Plan: The program includes a plan that divides:
Off season - 6 weeks (first 3 weeks on grass)
Pre season
Early season
Late Season
The program is similar all year round:
Monday - Tempo 200s starting with more at 32s and progressing to less late in year in 25s
Tue - long reps starting at 2 x 800m progressing to 2 x 450
Wed - 350m reps x 2-3 - improving in speed
Thu- hills, speed or event specific
Fri - similar to Thurs
Sat - similar to Thurs
Refreshing Base
Coach needs to decide when to refresh base by going back slightly from quality to quantity even if just for a week or two mid-season, important not to take too much from base.
