Critical Determinants of Long Jump Performance
Dr Paul Brice
Consultant Biomechanist
Dr Paul Brice
Applied Biomechanical Support
Very Simple Approach:
To provide coach / athlete / practitioner with objective
biomechanical (event specific) information / data.
……..on the critical determinants of performance
within both the training and competition environments
What it clearly is NOT….
“the nice to knows” or “the personal area of interests”
or the measurement of random “stuff”
But What IT IS….
The event specific biomechanical variables that
directly impact on PERFORMANCEDr Paul Brice
Most people can do this……
Much harder to do this and to do it well……

The reality….
• Men’s LONG JUMP
• Jump 8.00m to make the final
• Jump 8.30m to get on PODIUM
• Jump 8.40m+ to WIN GOLD
• Women’s LONG JUMP
• Jump 6.50m+ to make the final
• Jump 6.90m to get on PODIUM
• Jump 7m+ to WIN GOLD

Each event has these…
• Need to understand and appreciate the underpinning science
• NON NEGOTIABLES
• FACTS NOT FICTION
• LAWS OF PHYSICS
Dr Paul Brice
Academia doesn’t always have the answers but provides a flavour…
• Simple academic search – 275+ biomechanical papers
• All claiming to have the answer
• Reality very different
• Limited consistency of terminologies
• Subject population differences (ability levels)
• Measure different things depending on researchers area of expertise / personal interest
• Create your own reference research

SO WHAT DO WE REALLY KNOW ABOUT ELITE HORIZONTAL
JUMPING ?
Even though they are all slightly different, they all have to obey certain key biomechanical
principles – otherwise they would NOT jump far!
Approach Speed
• Have to run FAST
Strength
• Have to be STRONG
Technique
• Have to LOOK GOOD
Dr Paul Brice
Ground Contact – the take off….
Dr Paul Brice
Primary focus on Take Off……not to say others are not important

STRENGTH
JUST ABOUT BEING
STRONG….RIGHT?!
Some Coaches philosophy:
Just get really strong!
Dr Paul Brice
But we do know that……
The only time the horizontal jumper is able to influence the outcome of a
jump is while they are on the ground.....Newton’s Laws of Motion
Strength – force application, control and utilisation
But what are we talking when we say strength –
Do we really know!!
Athlete can never exert the same force in the weights room, as they do in
their ACTUAL event
All we can say is that the athlete must be ‘extremely strong’ or words to
that effect
About Utilisation of individual strength qualitiesDr Paul Brice
Huge Interaction between kinetic and kinematic variables
not necessarily a strength issue….but combinations of…
Poor technique
Poor leg placement
Activeness of leg on contact
Maybe lack of eccentric control?
So can do all the right strength work but if you don’t put body in right
place…..can all still go wrong!

Possible Training Effects
Eccentric, Plyometric, Isometric RFD,
Accommodating resistance
• Ability to withstand
faster approach speeds
• Ability to gain
muscular control more
quickly
• Faster transition from
eccentric to concentric
(SSC / elastic recoil)
• Ability to apply greater
concentric force for
longer
• Appropriate contact
time
Dr Paul Brice
TECHNIQUE
ITS ALL ABOUT PERFECT
TECHNIQUE…..RIGHT?!
Some Coaches philosophy:
Perfect technique makes
biggest jumps!
Dr Paul Brice
What are the biggest VIRUSES in the system ?
…….and where are we going to get biggest performance
gains…
In order to know you have to measure
SOMETHING…….
Otherwise simply guess work.

The ‘Business End’……..
Dr Paul Brice
Critical Determinants of Long Jump Performance
Dr Paul Brice
Preparation into the take off
• Ideally……
• 2nd last step LONG
• Last step SHORTER
• LONG to SHORT pattern
• 5 to 8% difference

Dr Paul Brice
Centre of mass profile
• Centre of mass ideally is RISING or at least level post TD with board
• Reduce vertical velocity in negative direction
Dr Paul Brice

Plant Angle to VERTICAL
• Speed
• Ability to generate force
• Technical ability
• Typical ELITE VALUES
• 26 to 30 degrees to vertical
Dr Paul Brice
Negative limb at Touchdown
• Ability to generate force
• Leg Activeness at prior to and at TD
• Minimise horizontal velocity loss
• Typical ELITE VALUES
• 5 to 8m/s negative
Dr Paul Brice
66% of Vertical Velocity generated whilst
knee is bending
You have to lose VH to gain VV

Step Length:
2nd last step is LONGLast step is SHORT (shorter)
Lapierre: Understand what you event requiresLoses too much horizontalGains too much verticalAngle take off too steepLose massive distance
Dr Paul Brice
Tomlinson: Consequences to technique!MKF angle too deepLowers COM too muchAngular Velocity of take off leg too slowSpends too long on the board
