| Article Name : | | | RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LEG POWER, REACTION TIME AND LONG JUMP PERFORMANCE | | Author Name : | | | Hari Om Sharma , R.

To achieve the purpose of the study, the investigator randomly selected 30 long jumpers who participated at inter collegiate level athletic meet, representing different colleges. The selected subjects were measured of their leg power through standing broad jump test and reaction time through reaction time tester and long jump performance following the standard procedure. The collected data on leg power, reaction time were correlated with long jump performance to find out the relationship. The obtained data were further subjected to statistical analysis using Pearson Correlation Coefficient analysis to find out whether leg power and reaction time were significantly related to long jump performance of these athletes. The Correlation co-efficient results proved that there was significant relationship (P<0.05) between leg power and long jump performance while there was no significant relationship between reaction time and long jump performance. It was concluded that leg power has significant relationship with long jump performance and more researches are required to establish relationship with long jump and reaction time. | | Keywords : | | |
