Athletics (Jumps) Questions Long Jump, Triple Jump, High Jump, Pole Vault

Athletics is a sport that contains a number of different disciplines. Some athletes concentrate on one particular discipline while others perfect a number of different skills in order to participate in multi-event competitions such as heptathlons and decathlons. View the clips and complete the following questions so you can get a better understanding of the jumping disciplines involved in athletics. Quintic Video Files you will use for these questions: 1) Long Jump 1 2) Triple Jump 3 3) High jump – Side View 4) Pole_Vault_1a 5) Triple_Jump_1 6) Triple jump Front View 7) Long_Jump 1a

PLAY AND PAUSE Open the video file ‘Long Jump 1’ 1) Play the video at all the different speeds.

TIMING

Open the video file ‘High jump – Side View’

3) Set your markers at frames 84, 142, 148, 155, 167, 172. These frames mark significant points during the action and you can use the stopwatch function to find the time differences between these points. Use the options from the box below to complete the table below matching up the frame numbers, description of key frames and time differences.

ANGLES AND SHAPES Open the video file ‘Pole Vault 1a’

4) For each of the following frames, draw the angles and write down their

value, using this button.

Frame 0: Angle of the left knee………………………………… Frame 10: Angle of the right knee……………………………… Frame 20: Angle of the left hip…………………………………. Frame 30: Angle of the left elbow………………………………. Frame 40: Angle of the left hip…………………………………. Frame 50: Angle of the left elbow………………………………. Frame 70: angle of the left hip…………………………………..

FLIP Open the video file ‘Triple_Jump_3’ 5) It is often very difficult for a sports coach who is right to demonstrate

skills to left-handed learners or visa versa. (i) Watch the video of the athlete, what foot does the athlete take off

on? ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

(ii) Now write a description of the athletes leg movement during the triple jump technique from take off to landing if the athlete were to take off on the opposite foot. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

(iii) Check your answer by using the ‘Flip’ function


BLEND Open the video file ‘Triple Jump 1’

6) Scroll to frame 55. Under the tag ‘Blend’ press the button ‘Set

Background’. (i) Which key point in the technique does this frame represent?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

(ii) How has the athlete changed her body shape compared to the background in: Frame 85? ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Frame 100? ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Frame 114? ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Frame 144? ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….


PHOTO SEQUENCE Open the video ‘Triple jump Front View’ 7)

(i) Set markers at 6 frames throughout the action. Choose the exact frame to fit under these categories:

Run-up = Frame……… Take-off for ‘Hop’ = Frame……… Take-off for ‘Step’ = Frame……... Take-off for ‘Jump’ = Frame……… Air-time before landing = Frame……… Landing = Frame………

(ii) For each of these frames write one comment about good technique for triple jump for each of these stages. You could write about arms, legs, head, knee bend etc.

Run-up = ……………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………… Take-off for ‘Hop’ = ……………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………… Take-off for ‘Step’= ……………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………… Take-off for ‘Jump’= ……………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………… Airtime before landing = ……………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………… Landing = ……………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………

(iii) Create a 6 frame’ Multiple Screen Capture’ for these frames. In

each one draw a yellow circle with the title of each frame inside it with the comment about good technique you have written.


Example:

(iv) Save this ‘Multiple Screen Capture’ as a JPEG and ask your teacher if you may print it.

DIGITISATION – (Quintic Coaching & Biomechanics only) Open the video ‘Long_Jump 1a’ 8) A digitisation template has already been completed for this video, which

tracks the left hand side of the athlete. i) Start a new trace. ii) Load the digitisation template Long Jump.qrm from the long

jump video file. iii) Complete the digitisation trace for frames 31-121. iv) Save the trace.

9) Open the animation window. Which buttons are used in combination to create the following pictures? (Hint: Take note of the frame number in the bottom right hand corner of each animation)


a) b)

c) d) 12) The video was calibrated by using a calibration grid that was filmed before

the athlete started jumping.

(i) Why is it important to calibrate the video footage? ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

(ii) Use the ruler function to find the lengths of the following body segments (body segments are measured from joint to joint - i.e. shoulder to elbow for the upper arm)


Body ent Length (m) SegmThigh

Lower leg Forearm

14) Open the Excel spreadsheet that has been created from the digitisation data.

In frame 66 what are the values of: (i) Horizontal distance of the ankle

…………………………………………………………… (ii) Vertical velocity of the hip

…………………………………………………………… (iii) Vertical acceleration of the knee …………………………………………………………… (iv) Horizontal distance of the elbow …………………………………………………………… (v) Acceleration of the wrist ……………………………………………………………

15) Find the MAXIMUM values throughout the digitisation of: (i) Horizontal velocity of the shoulder …………………………………………………………… (ii) Distance of the wrist …………………………………………………………… (iii) Velocity of the ankle …………………………………………………………… (iv) Vertical acceleration of the knee …………………………………………………………… (v) Horizontal distance of the hip ……………………………………………………………

16) At the frame of take-off, what are the values of: (i) Velocity of the ankle …………………………………………………………… (ii) Velocity of the knee …………………………………………………………… (iii) Velocity of the hip …………………………………………………………… (iv) Velocity of the shoulder …………………………………………………………… (v) Velocity of the elbow …………………………………………………………… (vi) Velocity of the wrist

……………………………………………………………

17) Look at the graphs and data that have been produced by the digitisation that you have just completed. Use your experience and sports science background to suggest interventions and training methods to improve the athletic performance of the jumper.
