How to practice long jump at home?

April 30, 2018 by Admin

Long jump training at home

There are only a few ways you can really conduct long jump practice at home. This is through conditioning your body and practicing your runup. Unless you have a sandpit at home, you won’t be able to practice the actual take-off phase of your jump.

Here are a few things that you can do to conduct long jump training at home.

Practice your acceleration.

Practice accelerating of each stride in the long jump so that you can reach your maximum velocity by the time you hit the take-off point. This will usually involve you having powerful strides at the start of your runup and building into the acceleration phase.

Conduct bounding for power.

You want to increase your power so that you can improve your speed and acceleration. Conduct exercises such as hops, bounding and skipping to improve your elasticity and power.

Do speed drills.

You want to maximise your speed within 30 metres. You can conduct speed running drills of 20-30m.

Would you like to advance your long jump performance?

Buy our long jump training program that will help you become more powerful and explosive, so you can run faster and jump further in the long jump.

We expect you to improve your long jump performance by at least 30cm.

What is the long jump world record?

April 29, 2018 by Admin

Men’s long jump world record.

Mike Powell is the current long jump world record holder. He successfully jumped 8.95m to win the competition. Carl Lewis had broken the world record with his previous attempt by jumping 8.92m.

Women’s long jump world record.

The women’s long jump world record is held by Galina Chistyakova, who successfully jumped 7.52m in 1988.

Wikipedia also lists the long jump world record progression.

What are some notable long jump world record performances?

Bob Beamon – 1968 Olympics – Mexico City

American Bob Beamon leapt into the history books by breaking the world record to set a new distance of 8.90m. His distance was so far that the officials had to change their measuring equipment at the time. The record would stand for 22 years.

Jesse Owens – 1936 Olympics – Berlin

American track and field athlete Jesse Owens set a few world records within one day at the 1938 Olympics and set new records in the event on the day. What’s more significant is that he triumphed over the Nazi ideology that controlled Germany at the time and dispelled Adolf Hitler’s belief that the Aryan race was a superior ethnic race. Furthermore, the people of Germany supported Jesse Owens performance.
