Arrange the following factors that determine flight distance in the long jump in descending order :

1. Air resistance

2. Take-off velocity

3. Take-off height

4. Take-off angle

Concept:

Athletics:

• It is one of the most lengthy sports events consisting of a variety of events.
• It consists of four categories:

1. Track and Field events
2. Road running.
3. Cross country.
4. Race walking.

• Track events include running events whereas field events include both jumping and throwing events.

Explanation:

Long jump:

• It comes under field events.
• It comes under jumping events.
• It consists of a runway, a take-off board, and a jumping pit.
• Phases of jump include:

1. Strides count.
2. Stance.
3. Acceleration.
4. Take-off
5. Flight angle or Take-off angle
6. Take-off height
7. Air velocity estimation or Air resistance
8. Take-off velocity.
9. Landing
10. Follow through.

Thus, 2, 4, 3, 1 will be the correct sequence in the phases of the jump.
