The purpose of this study was to determine differences between the groups which have two different
performance levels in the long jump for youth athletes. The technique of long jump consists from the run-up,
jump, flight and landing stages. Each stage has been deeply investigated by analysing various kinematic variables
such as velocity, length, duration, angle, jump percentages in previous studies. The recent study has found
differences between two different performance levels athletes according to the velocity variables, take-off angle
and percentage of the take-off distance. Considering the run-up speed of long jump is priority indicator of the
jump distance, the athletic coaches should give more attention for the speed ability of athlete when the processes
of talent identification and selection in the long jump event.
