Abstract
The main objective of the long jump is to achieve the greatest distance, making use of three phases: approach, takeoff and flight. For this, it is essential: (1) the horizontal speed reached in the approach phase, (2) the takeoff angle in the takeoff phase, together with other variables.
In a cross-sectional study (descriptive and correlational), with a non-probabilistic sample, the long jump of 5 male athletes was recorded during the 2022 Major Central American Championship, with the aim of evaluating the conditioning variables of performance in the long jump in comparison. with elite athletes.
Athletes from the Central American region reached a vertical take-off velocity similar to elite athletes (P 0.76); however, takeoff horizontal speed was significantly different (P 0.00) from that achieved by the finalists in the 2018 world championships. The takeoff angle was similar to that of the elite athletes (P 0.58).
The difference in horizontal speed is highlighted, as the determining variable for performance in the long jump, and the little extension in the knee of the kick leg as one of the limitations to enhance the dynamic factors (strength) favoring a greater impulse in the athletes of the Central American region.
