Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to find out the differences in the selected kinematic variables (Distance, Flight Time, Average Velocity, and Takeoff Angle) among the three phases of Triple Jump. For the purpose of the study 20 Inter University triple jumpers were selected and their trials were recorded using digital cameras (Sony A7S2, lens: 24-105mm, 120 FPS). Each athlete’s best legal trials were analyzed for the study. The analysis on each attempt was done using KINOVEA motion analysis software. The data pertaining to the selected biomechanical variables of Triple Jump phases were tested using Descriptive statistics, Univariate Analyses of Variance (ANOVA), and LSD post hoc. The level of significance was set at. 05 for testing the hypotheses. The kinematic analysis of selected biomechanical variables of different phases in Triple Jump revealed that there is significant difference in the selected biomechanical variables like Distance, Flight Time, Average Velocity, and Takeoff Angle among three phases of Triple jump (Hop, Step and Jump).
