Long jump and triple jump

Long jump and triple jump are technically demanding disciplines within athletics. For safe execution and reliable performance, a professionally equipped facility is essential. SKOR supplies high-quality long jump facilities and triple jump provisions. These materials are suitable for training, competitions, and multi-functional sports venues.

Difference between long jump and triple jump?

Although both jumping disciplines end in a sandpit, the techniques differ greatly. In long jump, the athlete takes off from a long jump take-off board after a long run-up and lands in one jump. 

In triple jump, the athlete performs a sequence of three consecutive movements: a hop, a step, and a jump. This places different demands on the run-up and take-off. SKOR considers these differences when designing both jumping events, with specific attention to a stable and well-placed long jump take-off board.

Long jump

Long jump is all about speed, explosiveness, and a precise take-off. The run-up track must be at least 40 meters long and provide good grip. One meter before the sandpit is a long jump take-off board, from which the athlete takes off. Behind this board, there is usually a plasticine strip. This makes foul jumps visible through a clear footprint. SKOR supplies complete long jump facilities that meet the requirements of World Athletics.

Triple jump

Triple jump, also known as hop, step, and jump, is a discipline in which the athlete performs three consecutive movements. This discipline also uses a take-off board with a plasticine strip. In triple jump, the athlete must land on the same leg as they took off from. This requires a long run-up and a precisely placed take-off zone.

SKOR's range for long jump and triple jump

For long jump and triple jump, relatively few materials are needed compared to other athletic disciplines. SKOR supplies a carefully selected range for long jump and triple jump:

• Take-off board: double-sided plastic take-off board for long jump and triple jump. The white side is used for long jump, the red side for triple jump. The lightweight board (122 x 34 x 10 cm) offers maximum stability and meets the certification requirements of World Athletics.
• Ground frame for take-off board: aluminum ground frame (122 x 34 x 10 cm) that ensures a seamless connection to the long jump take-off board. The open bottom construction provides optimal drainage. The ground frame is fully welded, so you do not receive a kit. 
• Blind board: used as an alternative to the take-off board during technical training or when the take-off board is temporarily removed for maintenance.
