The IAAF considers marks set at high altitude as acceptable for record consideration. However, high altitude can significantly assist long jump performances. At the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, Bob Beamon broke the existing record by a margin of 55 cm (21 + 1 ⁄ 2 in), and his world record of 8.90 m (29 ft 2 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) stood until Mike Powell jumped 8.95 m (29 ft 4 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) in ...
The long jump is a track and field event in which athletes combine speed, strength and agility in an attempt to leap as far as possible from a takeoff point. Along with the triple jump , the two events that measure jumping for distance as a group are referred to as the "horizontal jumps".
In 2013, development started on a rewritten version known as OBS Multiplatform (later renamed OBS Studio) for multi-platform support, a more thorough feature set, and a more powerful API. [17] In 2016, OBS "Classic" lost support and OBS Studio became the primary version. [18] In March 2022, OBS was released on Steam for both Windows and Mac. [19]
Plyometrics, also known as jump training or plyos, are exercises in which muscles exert maximum force in short intervals of time, with the goal of increasing power (speed-strength). This training focuses on learning to move from a muscle extension to a contraction in a rapid or "explosive" manner, such as in specialized repeated jumping. [ 1 ]
The event is best-remembered for the men's long jump competition, when Carl Lewis made the best six-jump series in history, only to be beaten by Mike Powell, whose 8.95 m (29 ft 4.36 in) jump broke Bob Beamon's long-standing world record from the 1968 Summer Olympics.
The optimal take off angle for a standing long jump (performed by a human) has been theoretically calculated to be ~22.6°, [7] substantially lower than the optimal take off angle for a projectile (i.e. 45°). [8] This is due to take-off speed decreasing with take-off angle due to the jumper's body configuration. [7]
About 19,000 South Korean troops will take part, similar to last year, with 48 rounds of combined field training, including field manoeuvre, live fire and amphibious exercises to be held, Yoon said.
Free Fire Max is an enhanced version of Free Fire that was released in 2021. [71] [72] It features improved High-Definition graphics, sound effects, and a 360-degree rotatable lobby. Players can use the same account to play both Free Fire Max and Free Fire, and in-game purchases, costumes, and items are synced between the two games. [73]
