Long Jump - Six Stride Chart

The document presents a chart that relates long jump distances to the location of a six stride mark from the takeoff board and the corresponding stride lengths. It provides measurements for jump distances ranging from 15'6" to 30'0" in six inch increments. The chart is intended to emphasize the speed and consistency needed for the long jump approach. Scientific study and the experience of Igor Ter-Ovanesyan found that an ideal long jump run-up consists of an accelerating start over 8 strides, a middle section with little acceleration, and a final 5-6 maximum speed strides from a cue mark to the takeoff board. The correct speed to jump a given distance will produce the corresponding correct stride length through proper technique.

In an effort to place some emphasis on the speed and consistency needed in a Long Jump
Approach, I have devised a chart relating to the "average" ratio's of “Stride Lengths and
Stride Frequencies”, jump distance compared to Six Stride Coaches Check Mark, as
measured from SIX (6) running strides (13.00 to 15.00 Meters) before the takeoff board.

Scientific Study and the experience of the Great Russian Long Jump, Igor Ter-Ovanesyan
allowed him to make this statement. Quote: “An ideal run-up should consist of three phases;
an accelerating start of 8 strides, a middle element with little or no acceleration, and a final
last 5-6 speed strides from a “cue” mark.

The fundamental “physics” is that the correct speed needed to jump a specific distance
will have a corresponding “correct” stride length that will be produced by that speed
and correct running technique.
