A Description of the Rules and Regulations and Scoring system of long jump
A Description of the Rules and Regulations and Scoring system of long jump.
In this piece of work I am going to describe the rules and regulations of athletics I am also going to describe the scoring system of long jump.
There are a number of rules involved in long jump these include where a jump is measured from, foul jump and no markers on the track.
The first rule I am going to describe is where a jump is measured from. The length of the jump is measured from the take-off line to the first mark in the sand from the part of the body that touches the sand closest to the jumping line. For example if you jump and you’re hand touches the sand behind you before any other part of your body then that is where your jump is measured from.
The second rule I am going to describe is the foul jump rule. This rule is when you take a run up there is a line before the sand pit and you’re foot is not allowed to cross the line otherwise it is a foul jump and the jump will not count.
The final rule I am going to describe is the no markers on the track rule. This rule is that you are not allowed to have markings on the track or sandpit but you are allowed to have them on the side. This rule is so that they markings don’t get in the way or distract the athlete but the audience and commentators can easily see how well the athlete has done. There are a number of regulations involved in long jump. These include length of track, length and width of sand pit and the take-off board.
The first regulation I am going to describe is the length of the track. This rule is that the take off track must be no more than 40 metres. This is so that each performer has the same chance and has enough momentum to get a high and long jump.
The second regulation I am going to describe is the length and width of the sand pit. The length of the pit varies between 2.75 meter and 3 meter and also has to have a width of 1.22 metres and 1.25 metres.
The final regulation I am going to describe is the take-off
