So this is the picure of high jump. Based on Wikipedia, the high jump is a track and field event in which competitors must jump unaided over a horizontal bar placed at measured heights without dislodging it. In its modern most practiced format, a bar is placed between two standards with a crash mat for landing. In the modern era, athletes run towards the bar and use the Fosbury Flop method of jumping, leaping head first with their back to the bar. Since ancient times, competitors have introduced increasingly effective techniques to arrive at the current form. High jump also have its own technique and drills in order to perform this high jump. 

I hope u guys can see how high jump is. Thank you

WHAT IS LONG JUMP ?

 Assalamualaikum everyone. For the previous post, i have tell about how to perform in long jump but i forgot to introduce about what is long jump actually. So today let me tell u guys what is long jump.

The long jump is a track and field event in which athletes combine speed, strength and agility in an attempt to leap as far as possible from a take off point. Along with the triple jump, the two events that measure jumping for distance as a group are referred to as the "horizontal jumps". This event has a history in the Ancient Olympic Games and has been a modern Olympic event for men since the first Olympics in 1896 and for women since 1948.

HOW TO PERFORM LONG JUMP ?

Assalamualaikum and hye everyone. It is a long day to not updating my blog, so here i am. Today i'm gonna share with u guys about how to perform long jump.

In order to perform long jump, we need to follow three technique with a proper way. The first technique is sail style. This technique is one of the most basic long jump technique. This allowed body to sail in air. Next, hang style. This hang technique work by lengthening the body to make it as efficiently long as possible. Lastly, hitch kick style. This technique counter tracts the athletes rotational velocity by cycling the arms and leg during the flight, and is also the most complex technique.

 There are also different phase in long jump. The first phase is approach. It’s often beneficial for the athlete to have routine leading into their approach for example rocker step, walk- in etc. Next, take off phase. You have to swing leg drives up, heel to butt, nee lifting to a 90 degree angle. Next is flight phase. This technique require arm should gradually drop and circulate back, upward, and over. Lastly, landing phase. The jumper’s arm should be overtop of the head.

WHAT IS HURDLE RACE

 Assalamualaikum and hello everyone, as usual i hope you guys are doing fine and always be safe, just stay at home if u do not have any important thing to do outside. So today, im gonna share with you guys about hurdle race. Let's get started.

Based on Wikipedia, there are sprint hurdle races and long hurdle races. The standard sprint hurdle race is 110 meters for men and 100 meters for women. Men and women run 400 meters in the standard long hurdle race. Each of these races is run over ten hurdles and they are all Olympic events.

Other distances are sometimes run, particularly indoors. The sprint hurdle race indoors is usually 60 meters for both men and women, although races 55 meters or 50 meters long are sometimes run. 

I hope you guys can explore more on google or youtube in order to how this hurdle is performed. Thank you!

DRILLS FOR SPRINTING SPEED

 Assalamualaikum and hai everyone, if u guys still remember last week that i gave some information about relay race so today im gonna share to u guys about some drills to build sprinting speed in order to perform the relay race very well. Let's get started! 😘

1. A - skips

This simple yet effective movement is great for priming the body for explosive movement. The Skip exaggerates that push-off force from the ground at the ball of the foot. When you do this drill, it's important to maintain dorsiflexion in your foot as you raise it to your opposite knee. Keep an erect torso and swing your hands in opposition to your legs. Begin by marching slowly, feeling out each portion of the drill. Once you have it down, proceed to the Skip.

2. Wall drills

This is another great drill to promote explosive movement. Like the A-Skip, the leg must come up at a 90-degree angle. The difference is that you are leaning forward. The power line spine, hip and leg alignment should be at a 45-degree angle. Hands should be placed firmly against the wall. Heels should be slightly off the ground, just enough to slide a piece of paper underneath. Engage your core the entire time, and don't allow your hips to slip back. Progression of the drill moves from a simple March through to a 4-count switch. Stay on the balls of your feet and maintain dorsiflexion of the foot.

3. Hurdle mobility drills

These drills serve as a great warm-up for both hurdlers and sprinters. My two favorite variations are the lead leg and the alternating leg. Both do an excellent job of opening up the hip flexors, which aids mobility. This is usually a bigger issue for female athletes, so I have my girls run through these drills every day. Another reason hurdle mobility drills are great for all athletes is that core stabilization is needed to execute the movements properly. Maintain an erect posture and lift your leg high to swing it over the hurdle. Your hips should not pivot. Go through the drill slowly at first. As you become more comfortable with the movement, pick up the pace.

There u go, i hope these 3 drills can help u to perform the relay race. U should do these drills for many times. Thank you!

WHAT IS RELAY RACE

Assalamualaikum everyone, i hope u guys are doing good and stay safe. So today, im gonna share something interesting which is relay race. Do u guys have been familiar with this sport ? It might be yes or no. So, let me share with u guys a little bit information about relay race.

There are two standard relay events in track and field the 4X100m relay and the 4X400m relay. 

The 4X400m relay finals are traditionally the finale of a track meet and is therefore often met with a very enthusiastic crowd, particularly if the last leg is a close race. 

A 4X400m relay generally starts in staggered lanes for the first leg; runners are then allowed to break into the first lane on the second leg after the first 200m, as long as they do not block with other runners. This is the point of the race when runners jostle for the best position and try not to get ‘boxed in’, or stuck between runners which makes overtaking later on very difficult. 

The race organiser then lines up the runners of the third leg; the team with the first place gets to be closest to the inside of the track. Slower teams have to slide in to the inside lanes as they come available.

So, this is a little bit info about relay race. Hope u guys can see and understand. Thank you! 

Lets jogging in the morning

We all have a morning routine, a series of things that we do start our days off right. For most people it could be as simple as meditating to set an intention for the day or taking a shower and preparing ourselves for the tasks ahead. How well the day goes is usually based on how well they start. Taking a jog in the morning is one of the best things that you can do to make your day special from the start. The typical routine of having a shower then breakfast before work is safe and standard, but it is not the best way to start your day. We are becoming more prone to getting sick and having foggy brains because most of us miss a crucial step in our morning routines, getting exercise.  

Starting your day off with a morning jog can change that. Jogging is a brilliant exercise that gets your entire body moving and blood pumping and does not have any negative effects on your work day. In fact, it will make you much more productive over the rest of the day. Jogging is an exercise that gives you the benefits of a fast walk and a slow run at the same time and can be enjoyed by nearly anyone of all ages and both sexes. You don't have to spend hours in the gym to keep yourself in shape and your mental stamina strong. All you have to do is lace up your running shoes in the morning and take a run around the block.
