How to do a broad jump

  1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and toes pointing slightly outward
  2. Lower into a quarter squat position while swinging your arms back behind your body
  3. Explosively drive through your heels and jump forward as far as possible
  4. Swing your arms forward and upward to generate maximum momentum
  5. Land softly on the balls of your feet with knees bent to absorb impact
  6. Step back to starting position and reset before the next repetition

Form tips

  • Focus on landing softly with bent knees to protect your joints from impact
  • Use your arms actively to generate momentum and maintain balance throughout the movement
  • Keep your core engaged during takeoff and landing to maintain stability
  • Aim for maximum horizontal distance rather than height to optimize the broad jump technique
  • Ensure adequate space ahead of you before jumping to prevent injury from obstacles
