Differences in Selected Long Jump Components According to the Results of Turkish Youth Boys

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine differences between the groups which have two different performance levels in the long jump for youth athletes. The technique of long jump consists from the run-up, jump, flight and landing stages. The each stage has been deeply investigated by analysing various kinematic variables such as velocity, length, duration, angle, jump percentages in previous studies. The recent study has found differences between two different performance levels athletes according to the velocity variables, take-off angle and percentage of the take-off distance. Considering the run-up speed of long jump is priority indicator of the jump distance, the athletic coaches should give more attention for the speed ability of athlete when the processes of talent identification and selection in the long jump event.
