Lesson Content

Skills In Long Jump

Long jump is a field event where an athlete combines speed, strength, and agility to leap as far as possible from a take-off point. Some skills involved in long jump are:

Run-up: This is the approach run where the athlete builds up speed. It is crucial to maintain a consistent stride pattern.
Take-off: This occurs at the end of the run-up. The athlete jumps off one foot, pushing explosively from the take-off board.
Flight: In this phase, the athlete uses techniques like the hang, sail, or hitch-kick to maximize distance while in the air.
Landing: The athlete aims to land feet first in the sandpit, extending their legs forward and using their arms to maintain balance.

Lesson Evaluation

To evaluate the learning, the teacher asks pupils to:

Describe the four main skills in long jump.

Demonstrate the proper run-up technique.
Explain the importance of the take-off phase.
Show the correct landing technique.
Work in pairs to practice and give feedback on each other’s long jump techniques.
