The Long Jump

Opens with scenes of an international competition in the long jump and then uses slow-motion sequences to reveal the critical phases of the jump: sprinting speed in the approach, preparation for the take-off, lowering of the hips, full extension of the back leg and lifting of the other leg in the take-off, cycling of the arms and legs, and (in this case) the hitch kick before landing. Shows various techniques for strengthening the legs: hopping (on flat surfaces, up and down steps, and over hurdles), jumping with weighted jackets, leg exercises with weights, and pulling against a belt harness. Ends with scenes of long jump competition in the European Cup Semi-Finals.
