 Introduction
The purpose of this research is to investigate how speed affects long jump performance.

 Title of project
Investigating weather speed affect distance in long jump.

6| P a g e
 Objectives
To investigate whether the speed of an athlete affects the distance of a long jump

 Description of project
This investigation will be carried out to determine how speed affects the distance of s long jump.
Students will be randomly selected from various classes with average height range, each student
will be given 15m run up distance to meet.

8| P a g e
 Method of data collection
Materials used: Camera, Stopwatch, Students, Measuring tape, Long jump-pit.

To carry out this investigation, the researchers used (10) ten random students ranging the same
height to perform one long jump using the school's pit. Each jumper use the same 15m run up to
meet the standing board and time was recorded using a stopwatch and the distance was measured
and recorded using a measuring tape. This data was recorded to see if speed affects long jump
performance. Data was presented using table, graph

Materials used: Camera, stop watch, students, Measuring tape, Long jump pit

 Analysis of data
 The first graph shows the run up speed of the ten (10) students used to perform the
investigation. Based on the graph the two students with highest run up speed over
1.20mp/s are Russell Paton with run up speed of 1.94m/s followed by Hosea Glen with
run up speed of 1.66mp/s. the lowest run up speed obtain from the data collected are run
up speed of 0.82mp/s obtain by Sharice Henry followed by 0.90mp/s which was obtain
by Norian Brown. The difference between the highest and lowest speed obtain
is1.12Mp/s. although the student had the same average height some run faster than the
other.
 The second graph illustrates the jump distance of the students used for the investigation.
It was revealed that the highest jump distance over 5 meters of the students are 6.21m
followed by 5.30m and jump distance lower than 4m are 3.09m by Norian Brown, 3.20m
by Sharice Henry, 3.60m by Brian Luke and 3.75m by Omar Duke. Difference between
the highest and lowest jump distance is 3.12m. even though the run up distance and the
pit had the same length some student jumped further than other.
 The final graph compares the run up speed of the students with the distance jumped.

 Discussion of findings
Long jump can be defined as an athletic contest in which competitors jump as far as possible
along the ground in one leap. An experiment was conducted using 10student with average height
range. Based on the graphs it was observed that student G(Russell Paton) had the highest run up
distance of 1.94mp/s and also the highest jump distance of 6.21m followed by student H(Hosea
Glen) which had the second highest run up distance 1.66mp/s and a jump distance of 5.30m
comparing these students with student E(Norian Brown) with run up distance of 0.90mp/s and
jump distance of 3.09m and student I(Sharice Henry) with run up distance of 0.82mp/s and jump
distance of 3.20m these students had the shortest run up distance and also the shortest distance
jump . it was observed that as the students run up distance increase the jump distance increase as
well. According to research

15| P a g e
 Conclusion
It can be concluded beyond doubt according to the data obtained that speed has a major effect in
the distance of long jump.
