Title: B13 Optimum Takeoff Angle in Long Jump with Vertical Displacement at Landing
Abstract: An approximate trajectory of the center of mass for a long jumper is obtained based on the expression of flat aerial path and the optimum angle of takeoff is derived theoretically. Then, we introduce two parameters, the horizontal velocity of the center of mass and the takeoff velocity into the present model of takeoff. In particular, the solution of the optimum angle includes the effect of vertical displacement at landing which affects significantly a distance of the aerial phase. The distance of the aerial phase and the takeoff angle are estimated in several cases of measured data. The results of the estimation show the effectiveness of the present model.
