Abstract - The purpose of this study was to investigate the
parabolic trajectory throughout the flying phase. To minimize the risk of injury, the athlete flexes their hips and knees during the landing phase. The hip angle, defined as the angle between the thigh and the torso, along with the knee angle, which is the angle between the thigh and the lower leg, are essential factors at the onset of the take-off phase. A study published by World Scientific Publishing indicates that the optimal knee angle at the start of the jump is 90 degrees. Power generation also encompasses the hip angle. A study published by World Scientific Publishing indicates that arm swing plays a crucial role in the standing broad jump by facilitating the anterior displacement of the centre of mass and enhancing leap distance. (Wen-Lan Wu et al., 2003).
kinematic and BMI factors that affect the standing broad jump performance of individuals with three to five years of experience who are between the ages of 21 and 25. Fifteen healthy male athletes' performances were recorded using a Sony ZV-E10 high-resolution camera with a 16-55mm Sony lens (1080p HD video, 60 fps). All kinematic and BMI variables showed a strong correlation with both estimated and measured jump distance, except for the BMI at standing broad jump, BMI at angle of take-off, angle of take-off at maximum shoulder extension, and take-off ankle at maximum shoulder extension. The recorded video was examined using Kinovea 2023 Motion Analyzer software. Subsequently, the collected data were analyzed utilizing Jamovi software, with the significance level established at 0.05. The variation in jump distance was predominantly accounted for by take-off distance and take-off speed among all the kinematic factors. It is essential for physical education teachers and coaches to meticulously observe anthropometric and kinematic parameters to improve athletes' standing broad jump performance.
The jumper's centre of mass is like a projectile in free flight during the standing long jump's flight phase. To maximize the distance of the jump, 45 is probably not the best projection angle. Only when the magnitude of the projection speed produced by the jumper is constant across all projection angles is a 45-degree angle suitable. It is well known that as the projection angle increases in the long jump, javelin, and shot put, the athlete's (or tool's) projection speed decreases. (Masaki Wakai, 2005).

Insulin resistance, clustering cardiometabolic risk, and inflammatory proteins during childhood and adolescence have all been found to be inversely and independently correlated with muscular fitness, a significant indicator of health. (Artero et al., 2012) According to longitudinal research, alterations in central and total adiposity, systolic blood pressure, blood lipids, and lipoproteins are linked to changes in muscle fitness from childhood to adolescence. (Ruiz et al., 2009) These results also reinforce the need of evaluating young people's muscular fitness. Maximum isometric strength, muscular endurance, and explosive strength are some of the various aspects of physical fitness that can be evaluated during adolescence. One of the aspects of muscular fitness that is frequently included in youth fitness test batteries is lower-body explosive strength. (Castro-Pinero et al., 2010) (Jorge R. Fernandez-Santos et al., 2017).
1. INTRODUCTION The standing long jump is alternatively referred to as the standing broad jump. This sport was last featured in Olympic events until 1912. The standing broad jump is a variant of track and field jumping events, which also encompasses standing high jumps and triple jumps. In a standing long jump, athletes position their feet slightly apart while taking their stance behind a designated line on the ground. This article will discuss the standing long jump as a competitive sport and the standing broad jump test. (Monika Wasuja et al., 2022). Specific biomechanical angles define the take-off, flight, and landing phases of the standing broad jump. The athlete's hip and knee angles are critical during take-off, with a 90-degree knee angle frequently being ideal. In the standing broad jump, the take-off angle, which refers to the angle at which the body is propelled into the air, typically measures less than 45 degrees. The centre of mass of the body follows a
