Ashby‚ B.M.‚ Heeggaard‚ J.H.(2002). Role of arm motion in the standing long jump. Journal of Biomechanics‚ 35 1631-1637 Purpose The purpose of this study was to discover the role and use of arm motion on the performance of the standing long jump and if it improves the distance of the jump. The study also investigated the additional benefits of the use of arms in balancing the body for optimal landing and different forces during the take off phase. Methods The subjects were three unskilled
