PREPARATION PART  I

For all jumpers, especially for triple jumpers, it is very important to start the stage of the general physical preparation in October. Many athletes begin the physical preparation stage in November, but according to my experience, when an athlete begins the general preparation in November, almost always the end results are not so good. The general preparation is the most important stage for all athletes, so it is the need for a proper preparation program is very important.
What do we have to work on in the first three months?  Endurance, strength and explosiveness.   The explosiveness has to be performed by specific games for jumpers, such as games like volleyball and basketball.  Remember   all the games always have to be programmed so that an athlete is forced to jump. It is also very important that the coach prepare and invents other special games containing active vertical jumps.

For triple jumpers it is very important to work with exercises that strengthen the knees, ankles, pelvis and back. These exercises have to be performed on the sand and in the grass. When the athlete has to work on the grass, the field in this period should be irregular, i.e. uneven.  It is very important to take care with these exercises, because if the athlete is not prepared to work under these conditions the consequences can be dangerous, which can lead to serious injury. If you work under the guidance of a good coach the results will be very good. These exercises in the sand and the grass will strengthen completely the ankles and knees…….
