Abstract :
Background: Take off part largely determines the long jump performance. Longer the time spent by the foot at the take off board and loss of force into the ground could lead to ineffective take off. Longer foot need more angular distance before it is cleared at the take off board and also the take off area of the foot becomes larger may also lead to the loss of force transmission due to force dissipation through the larger area of foot. Objective of the study: This study was to analyze the correlation among the medial side foot length from the horizontal axis of the ankle, foot area while standing plantar flexed and long jump performance.
