Mechanics Analysis of Long Jump by Means of the Theory of Artificial Neural Networks

Abstract

Takeoff is extremely important to long jump. The paper analyzes the mechanics characteristics of takeoff for long jump by means of the theory of neural network. It firstly discusses some importantly influencing factors for long jump in theory. On the basis of description of the theory of Artificial Neural Network, the back propagation network is applied to model the long jump. The results show that an excellent performance of long jump is depend on a rapid run-up speed and the rhythm of the final two steps.
