Long jump (Field events)
Long jump is a field event which involves running and then jumping a distance from a spot into a fat surface called landing pit. The event requires speed, spring and a great deal of body control.
The jump has the following five stages (skills):
1 The approach run or run-up
2 The take-off
3 The fight
4 The landing
5 The recovery
1 The approach run or run-up
The run-up is the running to approach the take-off board.The runway for the run-up has a minimum of ffteen strides for a beginner, and a minimum length of 40 metres for adults. The run-up is to prepare the jumper to cover some long distance when he jumps/leaps forward.
2 The take-off
The take-off is the stepping on and off the take-off board to put the jumper in the air. It is done with one leg (single take-off), and it is an upward and forward movement.The stronger leg is the take-off leg in order to give the jumper a good spring. The take-off board is usually made of wood.
3 The fight
The fight is the action of the jumper in the air after take-off.
4 The landing
The landing is the arrival at the landing pit. It involves learning to land properly inside the pit without committing any landing fault or sustaining an injury. It is advisable for jumpers to keep the legs wide apart while landing for effective balance, and to fall forward while landing.
5 The recovery
This is the stage where the jumper regains his position after landing. He maintains his balance and moves forward. He should not walk backward in the pit. If he does, his jump shall be regarded as ‘no jump’.
High jump
High jump is a field event that involves jumping for height over a raised object into a specifed area (landing foam). It is done with a single take-off (one leg only).
High jump equipment
The equipment needed for high jump are:
1 The upright/Poles
2 The supports for the crossbar
3 The crossbar
4 The landing foam/pit
Basic skills in high jump
There are five skills, which are the following:
1. The approach run or run-up
2. The take-off
3. The fight (clearance of the crossbar)
4. The landing
5. The recovery
The approach run
This is the running toward the approach take-off. The run must be long enough (between 10 and 15 strides). The jumper could approach from a straight line or from either the left or right angle. The angle of approach is determined by the style the jumper intends to use.
The approach run is slower than that of long jump because speed is of less
importance.
The take-off
1.Take-off has one goal: jumping high. This is the point where the jumper leaps
from the ground in preparation for clearing the bar. The take-off foot strikes the ground with a bend at the knee, and the body leans back and springs forward for a fight. The jumper takes off on one leg.
2.The fight (Clearance of the crossbar)At this stage, the jumper must achieve a high lift before changing into any clearance technique that could be adopted in clearing the bar. A jumper should use the style that requires the least effort in attempting to clear the bar.
3. The landing
Landing in high jump does not require any special tactics. A jumper can land on the back, legs or on the side with the shoulder, whichever is comfortable.Jumpers should not land on their head or neck. Where there is no landing foam, there must be enough sawdust for the absorption of landing shock.
4.The recovery
The recovery stage in high jump is a stage of resting after landing. After landing, the jumper walks out of the landing area. If he stays and the

Presentation
The topic is presented step by step
Step 1:
The class teacher revises the previous topics
Step 2.
He introduces the new topic
Step 3:
The class teacher allows the pupils to give their own examples and he corrects them when the needs arise
Conclusion
The class teacher wraps up or conclude the lesson by giving out short note to summarize the topic that he or she has just taught.
The class teacher also goes round to make sure that the notes are well copied or well written by the pupils.
He or she does the necessary corrections when and where the needs arise.
