Point29: The thigh of the swinging leg reaches the horizontal position even during the support phase. The knee is as high as the hips are.
good: Thigh is horizontal.
average: N/A
weak: Swinging leg’s separation is narrow.
Point30: The hop-step swinging leg’s thigh reaches a position beyond the horizontal during the step.
good: Thigh beyond the horizontal.
average: Thigh is horizontal.
weak: Thigh is under the horizontal.
Point31: The lower part of the swinging leg is extended (kicked out) from the knee.
good: Fully extended
average: Remains a little bent.
weak: Heel gets tucked under the butt.
Point32: The upper body remains upright in spite of the lower leg extension. The torque is compensated for by the step take-off leg moving farther backwards.
good: Upright.
average: No bringing the hips forward (butt out).
weak: Forward lean.
Point33: The plant is active.
good: Active.
average: Passive
weak: Breaking.
Point34: The hitherto swinging leg becomes the jump phase take-off leg. It is planted on the runway almost fully extended.
good: Remains extended at foot-plant.
average: Leg is planted slightly bent.
weak: The foot is lowered vertically.
Point35: The arms are swinging close to the body in a double-arm technique, and more rarely in a single-arm technique, in the transition to the jump.
good: Arms are swinging close to the body.
average and weak: Arms are swinging far from the body.
Point36: The upper body remains upright at touchdown The butt does not stick out.
good: Upright.
average: But is sticking out.
weak: Forward or backward lean.
Point37: The foot-plant is flat, after a momentary heel-first contact.
good: Slight heel touch.
average: Pronounced heel-touch
weak: Toes touch first.
Point38: The take-off leg plants about 1 foot in front of the vertical projection of the COM. (The actual gap depends on the speed).
good: 1 foot from COM.
average: Too far in front of COM.
weak: Right under COM.
Point39: The amortization in the knee of the take-off leg during the support phase after landing the step has to be as small as possible as well. Muscle-reaction is (defined as or congruent to) the knee angle . ( couldn’t find a definition for ^=, I think it means the faster the muscle reacts to the landing, the greater the knee angle will remain)
good: More than 140 degree angle.
average: 130-140 degree angle.
weak: less than 130 degree angle.
Point40: Head position during the landing of the hop is a little into the traps. Direction of view is a little higher than in the previous two take-offs.
good: Eyes are looking at the tree-crown or bleachers.
average and weak: Eyes are looking in the sand pit (at the desired landing spot)[/b].
Point41: The swinging leg is brought forward as a long lever, slightly bent. The foot may not touch the runway.
good: The foot does not graze the runway.
average and weak: The foot touches the runway. Rules violation!
Point42: The tip of the swinging leg’s foot is pulled (dorsiflexed) during the forward sweep.
good: Dorsiflexion.
average: Neutral foot.
weak: The foot is hanging (plantarflexion).
Point43: The thigh of the swinging leg reaches the horizontal position even during the support phase. The knee is as high as the hips are.
good: Thigh is horizontal.
average: N/A
weak: Swinging leg’s separation is narrow.
Point44: After take-off in the jump, a full extension of the body takes place.
good: Full body extension.
average and weak: Incomplete body extension.
Point45: From the extension, both legs are simultaneously (one after another) brought up in preparation for the landing and the body leans forward.
good: Landing preparation
average and weak: Weak landing preparation.
Point46: When the feet come in contact with the sand, the knees are no longer stretched and the upper body has reached a little more upright position.
good: Landing position retainment.
average and weak: Landing is initiated to soon.
Point47: The jumper slides through forward, or pulls his body sideways past the closest mark to the board.
good: Slide through sideways.
average: Slide through forward.
weak: Slide behind the mark made by the feet.
