Name any 5 do and don’t in Long Jump.

Answer 1

Answer:

I hope my answer is correct...

Take each point as an asset...

Explanation:

Make sure that you run fast during your practice session with your head upright. Make a flat back land off with your legs being stretched straight. Take-off leg should be extended as much as possible to cover a good distance. Do not keep your arms tight.

Answer 2

The following points should be in your checklist during practice −

• Till the take-off point, do maintain your speed at any cost.
• As soon as you cross the board, give a rapid boost to your speed.
• To maintain more upright positions, do experiment on your running styles that suit you better.
• Compensatory action of the arms should be done to give the momentum.
• Landing drills should be added to the practice schedule.

The following are the things that you should not do −

• Just before take-off, shortening or lengthening the stride.
• Without attaining much speed, taking-off from the hill.
• Inclining the trunk too far forward or backward.
• Imbalance during the flight.
• Positioning one foot below the other foot during the landing phase.
