Contribution

It introduces a physics-based approach to enhance sports performance, exemplified by the analysis of the long jump technique.

Findings

Physics-informed techniques can improve jump performance.

Optimizing athlete trajectory increases success rates.

Biomechanical insights lead to better training methods.

Abstract

When the laws of Physics are taken seriously, the sports can benefit in getting better results, as was the case of the high jump in Flop style, so that the athlete sprints diagonally towards the bar,then curve and leap backwards over it. The jumper, in this case, has the center of mass under the bar, fact which allows improvement of the performance.
