Introduction

The blog aims to define the key skills and phases that are needed to correctly and successfully complete the triple jump. There are specifically four phases that are used during the triple jump and many various important techniques that can be used to improve the jump. Throughout our discussion of triple jump phases and techniques, we will be discussing the biomechanic patterns, concepts and outcomes needed to create optimal performance outcomes. Our focus on explaining these skills will be through the breakdown of an elite athletes technique and a developing junior athletestec technique. we will investigate how the junior athlete can improve his optimal technique through biomechanics. 
Elite triple jumpers have a 37-50 metre run up which usually consists of 17-26 steps. Contrasting to other Olympic events like long jump or high jump, triple jump has three consecutive take offs that require athletes to execute with coordination even though many parts of the body are under stress.
