The document describes the three main types of jumps in athletics: the triple jump which consists of a hop, step, and jump from a standing start using the athlete's strongest leg; the long jump which involves running and launching from a take-off board to achieve maximum distance before landing in a sand pit; and the high jump where competitors jump from one foot over a rising bar without knocking it off, getting three attempts at each height.

Triple jump Start with the basic movements by having your athletes Hop, Step and then Jump from a standing start. The take-off foot should be the athlete's most muscular leg, as it will be used in the Hop and the Jump phases Long jump Long jumpers start with a running start, propel themselves in the air at a designated launching point, also called the take-off board, and try to achieve maximum distance in the air before landing inside a sand pit. High jump In the high jump, a competitor must jump from one foot and must not cause the crossbar to fall or else the attempt does not count. Each high jumper can make the bar higher to complete a jump that’s higher than their competitors’ highest jump. They usually get three attempts to complete a jump.
