Abstract

The purpose of the study was to give an account of the various kinematic parameters of take-off in triple jump and their relationship with the performance of the jumpers. Two male triple jumpers participated in this study one of which had Gold medal in the 2018 Asian games while the other participant was a bronze medalist in the Commonwealth games. The data was recorded with a video camera that recorded at 50 fps. Kinematic variables were extracted with motion analysis software (Silicon coach pro ver-8). The relation between the investigated kinematic parameters and the triple jump performances were calculated using the Karl persons coefficient of correlation. This study found that hip joint angle at take-off and take-off time correlated negatively with the triple jump performance of the jumpers with values of correlation -0.441 and -0.407 respectively.
