Abstract
INTRODUCTION The running long jump distance is determined by the height of the center of mass (CM) at takeoff and horizontal and vertical velocity of CM at takeoff. Hay (1993) reported a positive relationship between approach velocity and jumping distance over a wide range of jumping abilities. However, comparing with long jumpers, sprinters have similar approach velocity but many cannot archive a longer jumping distance. The aim of this study is to investigate the biomechanical characteristics between sprinters and long jumpers when performing the running long jump.
