Track & Field Jumps Coach on Instagram: "Part 1 of the Triple Jump 2nd & 3rd Phase Development Series, these are the basics! I like to refer to the 2nd and 3rd phase bounds as “MAX VELOCITY Bounds”, serving the purpose of sustaining whatever velocity you created on the approach & the takeoff. The most common issue I see on 2nd and 3rd Phase are sub-optimal positions at the transition point from phase to phase. This refers to 2nd phase ground contact and 3rd phase ground contact. It’s what happen

SportsXScience on Instagram: "“Triple Jump: Science in Every Step!” 🏃‍♂️💨 Ever wondered what makes athletes soar in the triple jump? It’s not just power—it’s physics in action! 🏃‍♂️💥 1️⃣ Hop Phase: The athlete pushes off the ground, converting horizontal speed into vertical lift. The force generated here follows Newton’s 3rd Law: every action has an equal and opposite reaction. 2️⃣ Step Phase: Balance is key! The jumper must maintain momentum while minimizing energy loss. Too much vertical m
