To Jump Far, Run Fast To jump far, it is important to consider the kinematics and kinetics of the event. There are many ways to jump far, but the best jumpers display similar forces, angles, positions, and velocities. Jumping far is heavily dependent on the takeoff velocity and vertical forces applied at takeoff (Beres, Csende, … Continue reading To Jump Far, Run Fast: Kinetics and Kinematics (Part 1)
