Abstract: Long Jump is a board jump sport event in world competitions. It is played on the track The common aim of the long jump is to attain maximal horizontal distance from the front of the lift-off board. This is achieved by converting some horizontal velocity developed in the approach run into vertical velocity at take-off. The main aim of the study was to determine the kinematic analysis for the long jump and define the kinematic and dynamic parameters of an elite long jump Athlete’s technique. To perform this purpose, An analysis will be made on who won the gold, silver, and bronze medallion in Men’s long jump at the 2016 Olympics in Rio. The best and lowest long jump performances, approach run speed, length of the stride, limited parameters, and variables will also be measured. The collected data were analyzed with Dartfish Live-S video analysis software. The analysis data will conclude that the performance of the athletes depends upon all criterion variables.
