What is triple jump?

In fact, exercise is a very good lifestyle and habit, because exercise can not only help you exercise your body better and effectively prevent the influence and injury of various diseases, but also it can better exercise a person's willpower. There are many types of exercise, and you can choose according to your preferences. Triple jump is one of the more common track and field sports. Now let’s analyze the origin of triple jump for everyone.

Triple jump, also known as triple long jump, is one of the events in track and field. As early as around 200 BC, a long jump competition appeared at a sports meeting, which involved jumping on one foot and taking off three times. In the Swiss capital of Zurich, the triple jump was held in 1465 and 1472, with prizes awarded to the winners. At that time, there were no fixed rules of the game.

It was not until the 18th century that the triple jump was developed in Ireland. In the late 19th century, the official triple jump appeared. The rules of this event were almost the same as those of the contemporary triple jump. The men's triple jump was included as one of the track and field events in the Olympic Games in 1896, while the women's triple jump developed more slowly. The women's triple jump was not officially listed as one of the Olympic events until 1992. There are two main techniques for triple jump: single-leg hop and stride jump.

Hopping on one leg: Hopping on one leg was created by the Irish in the 18th century and is the origin of the triple jump. This type of long jump requires a long period of time. Later, a jumping method that uses alternating legs appeared in Germany. Hop-and-strip: Originally conceived as a single hop with movements between jumps, the hop-and-strip was developed by an Australian in 1924 into a continuous movement without pauses.

The triple jump requires the athlete to take off from one foot three times in a row, land on the first foot, the second foot, and the third foot. There are two types of triple jump: one with a running start and the other with a standing start. In the college entrance examination, the standing triple jump is tested, while in sports meets, the triple jump with a running start is tested. What you said cannot be landing with both feet, because only when you land in the three pits at the end can you land with both feet. In the first and second jumps, the heels transition to the soles, and then the soles fully dig the ground. Pay attention to swinging the thighs to drive the calves, so as to promote the push, so that the parallel speed is not lost too much. Pay attention to digging the ground with the soles of the feet, not smashing down with the heels.

Whether it is triple jumping or any other sport, if you can stick to it, you can better play the fitness effect brought by these sports, as well as the training of personal willpower. Especially now in the busy work, people need to take more time to participate in various sports, which is also to better relieve their fatigue.
