Synopsis

In this book, the authors draw upon a combined 60 years of coaching experience to help track and field athletes at all levels of competition improve their jumping technique, training and performance. The book features clear instruction combined with detailed illustrations for these four jumping events: long jump, triple jump, high jump and pole vault. In part one, the authors explore mechanical factors common to all jumps, components of the approach run, and strength and power training for jumpers. They share ideas for the development of technique, including how to avoid flaws that slow the approach, tips for achieving maximum height at take-off, how to use the number of strides to determine runway approach distances, and 10 plyometric drills to add strength and power specifically for jumping. Part two features event-specific technique and training information. Devoting a chapter to each event, the book analyzes the various phases of each jump, from approach to take-off to landing. Eleven multiple-frame illustrations from the performances of record-setting jumpers help to demonstrate the proper technique.
