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.)

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

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.

Do lunges help in triple and high jump?


i want to know what muscles i should work out for high jump and triple jump|||Lunges are part of a complete program to develop and strengthen muscles.


You need to do a total body routine, even though you are not jumping with your upper body you need to work on the upper body as well.


Along with lifting you should be doing plyometrics twice each week.|||yes they do...and with the below answer, plyometrics should be done 3 times a week if you really want to get better. And don't even worry about your upper body, the only thing you'll need to work on upper body is your arm position and how quickly they can get up/out, which really only requiores chest and shoulder strength.

Do lunges help in triple and high jump?


i want to know what muscles i should work out for high jump and triple jump|||If you do lunges properly with only your own body weight for resistance, you will find they are awesome for both track and field.

I can practice run throughs and jumps for my triple jump and be dead on. However, once I hit meets, I can be off by as much as a foot! It's driving me crazy. Any tips out there?|||if your mark is leading you to be faulting over the line-its because youre wearing lighter clothing and strides are a tad longer. just move it back 3 inches or so and thatll help.





if you mean youre ending mark where you land, then just remeber to extend out your legs and arms-thatll pick up a little extra.





the day before the meet dont TJ more than 5 times-otherwise youre body iwll be tired of it the next day you try it in meet. if those dont help then its all mental and you just stumble under the heat like some do.|||i'm assuming you mean your foot is either way over or before the jumping line. if soo


)go up to the line where you will jump from and put your jumping leg heel on the line facing away from the sand pit


2)running away from the sand pit (with the pace you will use when you're doing ur real jump)count each time your jumping leg hits the ground and at around 4-6 times (depends on how long you like to run b4 you jump) stop and mark the spot


3)when you start your run put your jumping foot with the toe on the mark you just made. this will make it so you don't have to worry about getting ur foot right on the line, it will automatically


be there. trust me it works,





otherwise if you're saying that your jump distance isn't as good at meets. then its just all in your head. just tell yourself its no big deal and don't get jumpy or excited. just stay relax and just od your beset

NO one at this rink can land a triple jump?

So are they bad teachers?|||Of course not! There's two people in my whole CITY who can land triples, but between the three clubs in my city, we had at least one skater on the podium for every level from pre-preliminary up through and including junior at the Regionals last October. The fact that no one can land a triple doesn't mean the coaches are bad. It means that the skaters aren't dedicated enough, or the ones who get close to triples move away because of a parent's job if college. To some extent, it depends totally on the skater.





This little story relates a bit- my coach was competing at the intermediate level when she stopped competing, and she had her double axel, triple salchow, triple toeloop, and triple loop. She has only ever had one skater, in nearly 20 years of coaching, land double axels. My other coach was competing at the senior level when he stopped competing, he had all his triple jumps except triple axel. He has had 1 skater from my city land double axels, and 2 from the city he previously coached in. I am my primary coach's highest level student, I'm working on double axels. I'm my secondary coach's fourth highest skater, he has 1 landing double axels and another two that haven't landed them, but are much closer than me, and are competing at a higher level than me.


Does that mean that my first coach is bad? No! My mom has asked me before if I want to switch coaches because she has only had 1 skater land double axels, and I said no, because if I switch, she'll never have a second, and then she won't ever have more students land double axels.|||Ha, of course not! That's a ridiculous statement, right there. Learning triple jumps takes years, lots and lots of ice time, dedication, money, and plenty of talent. There are many factors in the ability to land a triple jump, not just coaching ability. I'd say that only half of the figure skating population will ever be able to land triple jumps, with maybe three quarters of that half actually attempting them, and three quarters of that three quarters having the dedication to pull through and actually land the jumps.





My rink doesn't have anyone besides me working on doubles, but the coaches are fantastic! It's because we don't get freestyle ice time, much less public ice that's been resurfaced well after hockey practice. Figure skaters don't like coming to my rink because of the obvious annoyances.





So, in conclusion, a lack of triple jump-ers is by no means an indication of coaching quality. I'd look, instead, at credentials-- what tests have they passed, what PSA rating do they have, how long have they coached, where did they train? All these things, as well as the quality of their lower-level skaters' skating can be indications of what kind of coach they are.|||it could just be the atmosphere (mood and mindset). Because no one sees triples at that ice rink, they think it is impossibly hard. and because no one is jumping triples, the skaters would feel content with their own skill level, and not compare themselves with strong skaters from somewhere else.





The coaches could be bad. this might be because there are not a lot of serious skaters, so that rink attracts less coaches.|||of course not! the coaches are not responsible for the jumps--the skaters are.|||um no it's just no skaters have gotten that far. or they have they just aren't there when you are.

Triple Jump or Long Jump tips?

Can any one give me triple jump or long jump tips?|||Long Jump: run at about 7/8 speed. Settle down so that your center of gravity drops a little on your next to last step. Drive your knee and arm up, not out toward the pit. When you land bring your arms back, and as you settle into the sand bring the arms forward so you will not fall back.


Triple: The biggest mistake most people make is their first phase is too long. What is your distance? Try to limit the first phase to 1/3 that distance, so you do not lose all of your forward motion and spring. Stay low, because if you jump high then when you come down you will collapse and not be able to jump far on the next phase. Paw the ground with your foot, do not block and then try to jump into the next phase. Work your arms so that you take big steps.|||Triple Jump tip - Improve the STEP part of your jump. This will help you with improving your distance. If you are currently stepping 12 feet, try to improve so that you increast to 13 or 14 feet. You will need to practice your hop and step more each day. You will need to balance yourself while maintaining your speed to continue into your jump, however first you will need to learn to increase your step.

i have to do that on my schools track meet . i qualified 3rd with a distance of 19 ft 7 in. i know i can get farther but what are some good tips to get farther than that. i wanna get either 1st ir 2nd place in that|||ok so I was in track once. first bend your knees and crouch down, start running in that postion but you can ease up a bit, then when you're ready to jump spring out and have one foot in the back of you and one in the front (kinda like a leap) but when you know you're going to land bring the back foot forward and land in the first postion crouch.

Don't listen to the boso above me. he just wants points.|||okay im a long jumper but i know the basics of triple on of my frends in the two time state champ here in WA and gonin gfor her third state title on friday but what you need to do is build up muscles in both your legs so they can hold there own.

How long are Triple Jump spikes?

The TJ spikes i've looked at are all 3/8" pyramid spikes, but I just wanted to make sure.|||today the approach or run way is synthetic and you can not use long spikes.

If you try to control the first phase, don't go too long or too high then the second phase will be better.


It is also important to run off each landing, do not go too high, collapse, then try to jump again.


It is better to use a running motion to keep your momentum moving forward.


Place markers on the track or runway and do drills to improve your phases and the transition.|||... and your question is what? if you want to know how to jump farther, you have to be able to have a balance between speed and power. you dont want to go to fast because you need height. but you dont want too much height or power because youll be slow. as for your phases, once you get a good balance between how fast you go in your jump and how much power and height you generate, your phases take care of themselves. of course you have to know the basics like dont look down, chest up-knees up, etc.

Are Nike Free shoes good for triple jump, and high jump?

I run in Vibram Five Fingers, and I run fore footed. Since on most of the jumps you often have to plant down on your heel, do you think Free's would be good?|||Vibrams are not a bad choice since you do land on your heel but there is not much support for your heels and you will eventually do damage, especially in the high jump. If you are beginning at jumps, your best choice is to get sprinting spikes and get long spikes to screw into them. You will get the support on your heel and the grip so you dont slip and miss your jump

How to improve a 49ft Triple Jump...I think I may have hit a wall...or is there something i'm missing?

It is not possible to tell if you have a problem or what that problem might be.


If you are training and working on your strength, and technique then you should gradually get better.


The problem is that at a high level of performance it becomes very difficult to improve.


The better you are the smaller the improvement. It is a matter of percentages.


The most common error in triple jump is going too far in the first phase and going too high.


If your phases are about equal in length then you should be jumping to your ability.

Thanks for the help :)|||That is not much farther in the triple jump.


Usually almost all triple jumpers go too far and too high in the first phase, each phase should be about the same distance.


Have someone watch your jumps, normally the second phase is the shortest phase, because the first is too long and you don't have any spring or forward motion when you land.


Practice shortening the first phase, and stay lower.


This will allow you to run off of the second phase rather than collapsing, and not having any power in the second take off.


You should be getting about 10 to 11 feet on the first phase and about the same on the second phase.


If you are getting 12 or even 13 feet on the first phase then practice getting 11 on the first and 11 on the second.


Just remember that you are running off the second phase, you can not land, then jump again for your second phase and third phase.

I landed my Triple Toe loop when i was 13 and a bit. My Sal Chow was landed quite recently actually, less than a month ago (3/24/2009) How 'bout you guys? (14 now).|||I was around 14 when I landed my first clean triple loop. I got clean triple salchow, toeloop, and flip after that within 2 years, becoming consistent in competition until I was 18. Lutz was always my nemesis, so that was not ever going to be consistent lol. I stopped skating to go to college over 3 years ago. But whenever I go to a public session (about 3 times a year), I can still do double jumps and perfect spins! When you get to such a high level, good technique sticks with you.


I miss skating a lot, so kids, enjoy it while you can!!|||you gotta be kidding me. Chances I will ever land a triple jump are like, 1 in a billion!


I am 24 yrs old, I have been skating for 15 months... I can land all my single jumps except for the axel. Chances are, I will never land a triple jump since I started skating so late!


I am jealous you can land at least one triple jump!!!!|||I was 11 when i first landed my triple flip...that was the first triple i got consistant. In the next two years i landed triple loop sow toe and lutz. i have all my triples except axel now. i made it to nationals last year but scratched because i didnt feel like i was ready to compete at that intensity even though i had competted at junior nationals the two years before. i am 14 now and i love skating.|||wow you're good!


I will probably never make it that far.. seeing as i'm 13 and just starting to land my lutz consistently..


But I have fun with it anyway =)|||i haven't yet

Tips for running track and field(especially the 800 and 1500 meter.High and triple jump?

I have started track and field(modified)and am going to run the 800 and 1500. I am a cross country runner and find the track a bit boring. I enjoy it but i need tips for the 800 and 1500 meter and high jump and maybe triple jump? Please,any info will help!|||I have no tips for you on the high and triple jump; usually jumpers are not also distance runners, unless they are decathletes.





As a distance runner, I think pace will be the most important. In the 800, I would tell you to go out relaxed (but fast) the first lap and hammer the second lap. This led me to my best time. Everyone thinks they can sprint out in the 800 and hold it, but that is nearly impossible. Your times will be faster (and you'll have more fun chasing people and passing them) if you save a little energy for the second lap.





Again, for the 1500 (like anything that involves distance), pace is important. Too many people go out fast, die in the middle, and then try to sprint in if they have anything left. If you can avoid getting caught up in how fast everyone goes out in the first lap, you can make a move in the third lap when your opponents are tired and really demoralize them.





Try these pacing strategies in your earlier races, so you know which one you want to use for your regional/sectional/state races later on. Some people like Prefontaine made a habit of going out hard and just keeping that pace through sheer guts. Some people with exceptional closing speed will run just fast enough to keep up and then sprint in. I happened to be a fan of letting people go out hard early and then catching them when they're tired.





Above all, ask your coach for advice... that's what they get paid for!

Tips for long and triple jump for beginners?

To try out for track, the coaches will test us on our long and triple jump. The thing is, I have never done ANY field events. EVER. So do you have any suggestions about the long and triple jump for a beginner?





Tips, rules, form, etc. will all help me greatly.


The track tryouts are next month, so please help. :)|||Hello, i myself am a long jumper at my highschool with a personal record of 20ft and 3 inches.(just to let you know that i know what i am doing, not to brag :)) A tip that i have to begginers is too make sure you are not full sprinting the whole time. Allow yourself to build up speed so you are full sprinting at the end. Make sure you really throw your opposite knee up ( the foot you are not jumping with) and throw your arms forward as hard as you can!|||ummmmm.............


i did triple jump before and it's really fun;


my suggestion would be to go to like a field, and work on skip-skip-hopping, :-? lemme think what else.....urrrmm try kinda like leapfrogging? gee idk how to explain it all at the moment; but i tried.


also, try to practice on exploding in your jump, and also your sprint down the runway! :)


God bless! i hope your tryouts and whatnot go well! :D i hope i've helped!

At a figure skating performance, 1 over 3 of the skaters completed a triple jump. if 18 skaters performed, how?

pls help|||Dear Fallon Yount,





Please ask a grammatically correct question, with proper spelling. With both of those in place, people will be able to help you.





Edit: Okay so I take it that the question is to read,


"At a figure skating performance, 1 out of 3 of the skaters completed a triple jump. If only 18 skaters preform at the event, how many skaters did not completed a triple jump?"





A) you're in the wrong section, this question belongs in the homework help as it is clearly a math question,





B) its easy to find if you understand multiplication. ie check your times tables, you'll find your answer there. Or if you don't get that, get 18 pennies and divide it equally into 3 groups, and cause its fractions you should be able to figure it out from there.





Also We shouldn't be doing your work for you so I won't give you the answer.|||hey- so i agree that your question is worded iddly but...


1/3 of the skaters did tripples so out of 18 skaters only 6 skaters did triples and the rest, 12 skaters, did not do tripples


hope this helped!|||12 skaters did not complete a triple jump.





(2/3 of 18)|||1) this is math not ice skating


2) the answer is 12|||how what?

What should your speed be like when performing the triple jump?

the approach is similar to the long jump, you need to generate speed, but be able to control your body.


Most people want to run at about 7/8 top speed.


You are converting your energy or horizontal speed into a jump, and in the triple you must maintain that speed through the phases to complete the jump.

What triple jump spikes are the best ???

How to do triple jump?

last season my coach said suggested i learn triple jump because i'm really good at long jump but no one on my team knows how.So could someone plz help and provide videos if possible.





tx in advance|||Triple jump is much like long jump. First you start running like long jump, then when you reach the first board ( usually about 20ft away from the sandpit) you jump and then you get to put touch the ground three times before you reach the long jump board, then you land just like long jump.


You measure from the farther board so your good jumps should be like 30ft|||http://www.everythingtrackandfield.com/c鈥?/a>

What kind of weight lifting should i do to improve my long and triple jump distance?

triple


(38'10")


long


(18'2")|||I agree with the answer already given, BUT





some examples of good exercises for powerful legs:





Squats - Medium weight. once form is good, find some bands, and use them. FULL range of motion.





Leg curls - lighter weight, but explode up back to your starting position. Slooooow on the way down.





Calves - Mix of jumprope/footfires, and medium-to-heavy calf raises.





Abs are also going to be very important to you (roman chairs, decline crunches), but explosive power is key, so get those legs trained!|||You should do a total body routine along with plyometrics.


You don't just jump with your legs it takes your entire body.

How to improve my Triple Jump?

im in Grade 9 on my high school track team and i jump 13 meters. but i need to improve my 2nd phase! how?|||one way to improve ur jump is to hav ur coach put like jumping bags in the pits and hav u jump over them, making them higher and higher, because the higher u jump, the further. And it helps to get ur legs up, which is what u want to do. Make sure ur wearing spikes and using tape, since it helps u get the right footing and a good run before u jump. Putting tape down and sterting from a spacific distance really helps. U should also do accelorations( practice runs of like 100m so u get a good run) and run throughs( running on the runway but not junping when u get to the pit to get ur footing rite) and stretching before u jump. Hope this helps. and make sure u ask ur coach for help! %26lt;3|||13 meters? im almost pos. that that is measured in feet because if you are jumping 13 meters...about 39 ft. you have set an amazing world record and you need absolutely NO help.


i know my jump is really bad and i jump 24 ft. girls at district track competitions jump almost 32 ft. and that is amazing.


it should be a hop skip and a jump correct?


and if you need help on your second phase... make sure that after your hop...you are really throwing your leg back to get that good long extended "skip" forward. im sure you have been taught to do this and you know that triple jump is hard to explain. your first hop should be full of exertion. its a tough thing to explain and something that you cant get better with overnight. you should see if your coach had an videos that might help you. and practice! practicing will help tremendously. good luck (:|||right when you start to jump, you need to take the biggest crap you possibly can

How can i improve in triple jump?

I have a decent 1st and 3rd phase i was just wondering how to improve on my step/middle phase...|||The most common reason for a short second phase is because your first phase it too long.


The first phase should be about 1/3 your total distance.


If you go too far or too high in the first phase you will not be able to run off the landing for your second phase.


Practice keeping your first phase controlled so you do not collapse on landing and can run off the landing into the second phase.|||Well, one of the best ways to exercise to improve your springiness is quite simple - to jump up and down on the spot, each time trying to spring higher than the previous. Practice using your arms to jump and thrust up.





When doing weights, concentrate on developing leg muscles, but also some arm strength can help to push you forward.





Also practice jumping forward from standing starts as well as from running - again this can help develop muscles, strength and build technique.

How to further my Triple Jump?

I'm a Junior in High School and my current PR is 43'9". I don't get the opportunity to work in practice as much as I would like, due to other events (high jump, 300m hurdles, 4x4). This has looked to be my most promising event this year, and I would like to gain another foot by state (May 29th) Any suggestions welcomed and appreciated!|||You sound like you're doing a lot of stuff right already.





Perhaps at home you could work on your core strength, and work on some plyometrics. Both of those things will help make you steady and strong, and allow you to hold your positions during each of the jumping movements, and also to allow you to have better body control on that last jump into the pit. Also, you may want to work on your sprints. While 300m and the 400 are sprints, they're longer sprints--the triple jump approach is much, much shorter than those. You need to be explosive and fast.





So: sprints (100m or less), core work out, plyometric work out.





Good luck!

The world record is only 4 more feet, are you sure this is accurate.|||Yes, he set the record at the national J.O. meet in Eugene 7/29/04 when he was 18. He jumped a legal 54 ft. 10 1/4 inches. He signed with Hinds Community College. He dropped out of sight so I do not know what happened to him. He was from Baton Rouge, La. By the way the world record is a fraction of an inch over 60 feet.

Which type of shoes should I get for either triple jump or long jump?

I can only afford one pair and cannot tell which i am better at and I love competing in them both, i am wondering if on type of shoe is better fr the other event than the other type of shoes so I can compete in both the events with the same pair of shoes.|||Go with the Triple Jump shoes. The only difference between LJ and TJ spikes are the amount of foam in the midsole and the width of the heel. The TJ spike will have more material under the mid-foot and a wider heel because of the demands of the event. It's harder to Triple jump in Long jump shoes than the other way around. I would recommend adidas adizero TJ if you can find them or New Balance TJ 1010. I personally prefer New Balance because they are light yet have plenty of cushioning to prevent injuries.


Good Luck!|||I think i will go with the addidas adizero tj's.......

Im 13 years old.


In long jump, I got 3.30 metres. (10.8 feet)


In triple jump, I got 7.46 metres. (24.4 feet)


Any help ?


:)|||Experience in this event is definitely going to be fundamental to greater success in this event. Knowing where your placement of distance should be, what your form for sprint, approach, launch, mid air, and landing are all going to do the most good for you.





For form, I would watch some videos of slow motioned long and triple jumpers that are best of the best and try to emulate the form that you see there. To increase from there, also be sure to hit the weights and try to increase your strength as this will help with your sprint speed and spring. Be sure also to try to keep flexibility up as it will be important for an effective landing.





And last, don't be afraid of a little spiking. Every good long jumper I've known has spiked their arms at least once while jumping. Don't let it get you down or be more cautious.

Each phase should be relatively the same.


On the first phase you are taking one step in the air so that you take off of the same foot for both.


Use your arms in a running motion so that your legs move.


You need lift, but not a lot of lift because you want to contact the ground in a pawing motion and if you jump too high you will collapse your contact leg.


Place markers on the ground and practice the first phase into the second phase.


After you can do these correctly then you can work on the third phase and into the sand.|||I tried the triple jump in high school. I had existing knee problems, and the strain the TJ put on them was brutal. It was fun though, and I hope you do well!

|||Some common mistakes are to jump too high, so that you collapse on landing and can not get a good next phase.


Often people will jump too far in the first phase so they don't have any spring for the second phase.


Practice getting your first and second phases close to the same distance.


Don't jump too high so you won't collapse during the support portion of the next phase.


Use the single arm technique it is more consistent than the double arm.


What is the state qualifier? Practice your first and second phases so that each phase is about 1/3 of that distance, if you can carry your momentum then your third phase should also equal 1/3 your jump distance.


I know that you can not get all 3 phases to be equal, but getting close is the way to practice.

Triple Jump?

running stairs will help.


%26amp;%26amp;so wil hopping up them on one or both feet.


that will help with your leg muscles to make each jump farther.





another thing to do is just to hop up and down on one or both legs. i do about 200 on my right, 350 on both, 200 on left and then repeat about five times.








also doing standing long jumps, one leg long jumps, any forn of skipping, and a hop skip jump with a short approach will help.








GOOD LUCK=)|||new shoes or i unno just practice alot|||thats how far i jump, so i cant help u.


do lots of squads and lower body lifting, helps a lot.

Triple jump??

i am in triple jump for my school and right now i can just reach the edge [front of] of the pit. how can i improve this?|||one thing that really worked for me was taking a hurdle, ad placing it right where you jump, this will help u add height, which in turn adds distance.|||i used to do triple jump. listen to your coaches, or ask the older jumpers because they have alot of experience. but most of your jump comes from your legs, so try building muscle in your legs and work on your technique. when you are in the air keep your feet close to your body to help you go farther. and when you do your hop-skip-jump try and take big steps. and when you are running on the runway, make sure that you are going your fastest. hope that helps, good luck with jumping =)|||You need to talk to your coach and/or trainer about it. They're professionals who can offer ideas that won't be dangerous for you. Don't try things yourself without their approval.|||One problem most beginners have is a short middle phase. I work on this with the athletes I coach. Make sure your first, second, and third jump are all about the same length. Your second jump might be 1 foot shorter. For example, a 30' jump should be about 11'-9'-10'. Be sure you are not jumping too high on the first jump, but that you are jumping forward. Jump low, with more distance. If the first jump is too high, you lose your power on impact for your second jump.





In practice, move up on the runway so that you are getting to the sand until your confidence and ability allows you to jump from the competition board. Don't worry about the board until your technique and jumping ability is good. It won't matter if you hit the board if you don't make it to the sand.|||Usually people jump too far on the first phase and lose all of their momentum for the second and third phase. You must carry your speed through the entire jump sequence. How far are you jumping and have you measured the different phases? If you can jump 30 feet do not hop further than 10 feet. If you do then the second phase will be too short and you will not have any spring or speed to carry into the third phase. Remember not to jump too high. Because when you go up you also have to come down and recover from the jump. Think about taking a long stride, stretch out, not up. You will get up, but you do not have to get up high. If you jump too high generally you will collapse when you come down and not have any spring. Simply shorten the first and lengthen the second and third phases. Doing plyos will strengthen your legs and some of these exercises are directly related to triple jump. Such as bounding off of one leg and then alternating legs. Practice your approach on the runway from a distance you feel comfortable at reaching the pit. Not worrying about reaching the pit you should be able to concentrate on the third phase, when you see you can reach the pit then you can jump from the board with confidence.

Take off the board with your most dominant leg. Single or double arm action may be used through the jump phases, but should be swung powerfully and through a large range of motion.


posture should be similar to that of sprinting – neutral head and pelvis position with center of mass slightly behind ground contact of the foot, ankle should be stabilized and dorsiflexed prior to impact, do not “grab” or “claw” at the ground – think of “catching” and “pushing” off from the ground. there should be no lowering of your center of mass at the penultimate step





Drills to do in practices are.


Horizontal jump drills include:


acceleration run


half approaches


board-less approaches


runway rehearsal with and without a take off


repetitive takeoffs


short run takeoffs/jumps


remedial horizontal and vertical bounds


intermediate horizontal and vertical bounds


advanced short run jumps


short run jumps|||Good, keep up the training, do some of the drills I listed in practices which will help, especially the short runs, run jumps,acceleration runs with rejearsal, everything you would do in a competition

|||The triple jump can be broken down to five different phases 1.) the approach 2.) the take off or hop(part 1 of the actual jump) 3.) the first change of legs or the skip(part 2 of the actual jump) 4.) the final drive or the jump(part 3 of the actual jump) and 5.) the landing. You need to work on all 5 aspects of the jump if you really want to have major increases in your distance.





For training purposes you can break your season into three sections. Divideing the phases of the jump into these three sections will allow you to work on all aspects of the jump but not be over whelmed all at the same time.





Section 1 - Work on the first two phases of the jump. Work on mastering your approach run so that you could run it through ten times everyday and be with in an inch or two each day. Second work on the Hop or 1st part of the jump. The biggest mistake that new jumpers make is takeing to big of a first jump (hop) so they have no power for the 2nd (phase 3) part of the jump. Learn to get your kneee up and keep yourself under control.





Section 2 - work on the 3rd phase (part 2 of the actual jump) or the skip. This is the hardest part of the triple jump. If your first jump is to big 99.9% of the time your 2nd jump is nothing more then a step because your not strong enough to power out. *Remember all three jumps should be as close to equla in distance as possible* Again work on driveing that knee up and holding it. Let the ground come to you, don't reach for it. Learn when to throw your arms back and then drive them forward into the third jump.





Section 3 - The third jump (phase 4) or the hop and the landing (phase 5). I have seen kids loose up to 6 inches off of their jumps for not collapsing and extending their feet.





Anyways these are just some different idea's on things you can work on. I hope they help.|||Well congratulations first of all for wanting to try.


It is not something easy.

How do i increase the distance of my middle step in triple jump?

i was looking at videos of my jumps and i kept noticing my middle step wasn't long enough, it just kept landing after the hop, so i need to know how to make it go longer?|||It is common for the second phase to be the shortest, mainly because people usually take too long a hop in the first phase.


Ideally each phase will be the same distance, or very close to the same distance.


Going too high will also cause you to collapse when you land so you can not support yourself into the second phase.


You can tell by the sound of your landing if you are coming down too hard, the landing and take off is more of a step rather than a landing, and then a jump.


Try pawing the ground, meaning that your foot is coming rearward when it contacts the ground.


In practice you can measure the distance you want to cover in the first phase, practice hitting that distance and then running off the landing into the second phase.


In summary, don't go too far or too high in the first phase to have a better second phase.|||what sport are you talking about?|||i try to write the answers your problem in my blog http://www.mystructuredsettlement.co.cc you can see any problem in my blog.

How do I train for Triple Jump?

I need help with my run-through and my lifting. Any help would be appreciated.|||The most common problem with triple jumpers is that they jump too far and/or high on the first phase, so they have a very short second phase.





You should strive to have 3 equal phases, which means to be conservative on the first phase so you still have some bound left in your legs for the second and third phases.





Unlike the long jump on the triple you have to paw the ground on landing and drive forward again, so you angle of lift is not as steep, because if you go very high you have to come down and when you land you will not be able to support yourself, causing your landing leg to collapse.





Use your arms, they help drive you forward. Most people are more consistent using a single arm rather than double arm.





In practice look at your total jump distance, then mark the track or runway. Practice your first and then your first and second phase so you can learn how far to jump in the first phase.





You want to approach with as much speed as you can use and still be able to control your body in the air.


For most jumpers that is about 7/8 speed.





Be consistent in your approach so you take the same size strides and don't have to adjust near the board.|||the first thing would be to get you run up sorted first. you can do this by running back so may steps then get some one to get where that stride is then run it back to see if it is correct and adjust accordingly.





to get the lift correct then lots of bunny hops (frog up what ever you call them) and hoping this will straighten your leg muscles to give you better lift on the take off also do standing triple jump this will help as well.





good luck

The take off for the second phase is more a running motion than a jumping motion, you must be able to carry your momentum through each phase.


If your second phase is too short you probably are going too far on the first phase.

Try to control the first phase, it should be about 1/3 of your total jump.


Also do not go high in the air.


The higher you go the farther you fall before hitting the ground, and can collapse so you don't have any spring left for the next phase.


Use your arms, think about running off the landing rather than trying to land, collect yourself, and then jump again.|||First of all, don't jump so hard on your first jump.

If your foot is too far in front of you it causes you to brake before you can make the next movement.|||I have same problem|||Put Some Power Into It


After you leave the board there will be swinging movements in the air during the three jump phases. Triple jump technique points for athletes and coaches to keep in mind: the free leg should swing powerfully through a large range of motion with a somewhat straight leg so that heel recovery height is low – overemphasizing knee lift in the free leg swing is a mistake.





Single or double arm action may be used through the jump phases, but should be swung powerfully and through a large range of motion. The free leg swing is important for horizontal velocity, but much more important because it helps maintain the proper pelvic alignment so that the jumper may make contact in with the ground through each phase in the optimal position to move through the next phase. Forward or backward lean in any of the phases is a common error that should be avoided.

It Gets Easier


To beginning jumpers, triple jump technique may at first feel awkward and different than other running or even jumping events. However, if they are going to excel at triple jumping and remain injury-free, proper triple jump technique is essential.





As a coach and an athlete, for the triple jump approach, keep in mind: posture should be similar to that of sprinting – neutral head and pelvis position with center of mass slightly behind ground contact of the foot, ankle should be stabilized and dorsiflexed prior to impact, do not “grab” or “claw” at the ground – think of “catching” and “pushing” off from the ground.

Drills are an extremely useful and productive tool in triple jump training as they are for any jump, throw, or hurdle event. Many triple jump drills are similar to long jump or sprinting drills. A triple jump drill is important and valuable for what you can teach while the athlete is learning and performing that drill. A triple jump drill by itself is not special when not connected to a training progression.





Horizontal jump drills include:





acceleration run


half approaches


board-less approaches


runway rehearsal with and without a take off


repetitive takeoffs


short run takeoffs/jumps


remedial horizontal and vertical bounds


intermediate horizontal and vertical bounds


advanced short run jumps


short run jumps

A Child's Game


It's just a hop, skip, and a jump to the pit! When beginning jumpers are starting to learn the triple jump, the hop, skip, and jump pattern is the easiest cue for them to remember and follow.





For beginning jumpers:





hop = same foot to same foot


skip = one foot to the other


jump = one foot to two feet

Associate One With Another


It may surprise you to know that the triple jump take off is most like the pole vault than any other event. The track spikes for the triple jump are also built and angled the same as pole vault spikes. When preparing to take off in any jumping event, it is important to maintain maximal speed while setting up for the jump.





In the triple jump, there is no lowering of the jumpers' center of mass at the penultimate step as there is in the high jump and the long jump. Triple jumpers are not converting their speed at take off into vertical speed; they still need to move horizontally into the three jump phases.

Opposites Attract


So, you're a decent long jumper, you're pretty fast, but you'd like someone triple jump tips to follow to see how you'd do. Triple jump tip #1: your run should be the same number of steps and the same approach speed as your long jump run, but opposite.





If you take off the board in the long jump with your left leg, you run off the board in the triple jump on your right leg so that your last and most powerful jump at the end of the triple jump is off your most dominant leg.
