Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to find out the relationship among the selected kinematic variables of hop phase of triple jump. For the purpose of the study 20 interuniversity 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 hop phase of triple jump were tested using Descriptive statistics, and Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation. The level of significance was set at 0.05 for testing the hypothesis. The kinematic analysis of selected biomechanical variables of hop phase in triple jump revealed that distance of hop has significant relationship with the selected biomechanical variables like Average Velocity, Takeoff Velocity, Horizontal Velocity, Loss of Horizontal Velocity and Maximum Height of CG.
