Abstract — The common aim of the Triple Jump is to attain maximum horizontal distance from the front of the take-off board similar to the Triple Jump. This is achieved by converting some of the horizontal velocity developed in the approach run into vertical velocity at take-off. The main aim of the study was to determine the kinematic analysis for the triple jump and define the kinematic and dynamic parameters of an elite triple jumper’s technique. To achieve this purpose, An analysis will be made on who won the gold, silver, and bronze medallion in Men’s triple jump at the 2016 Olympics in Rio. The best and lowest triple jump performances, approach run speed, length of the stride, limited parameters, and variables will also be measured. The collected data were analyzed with Dartfish Live-S video analysis software. The analysis data will conclude that the performance of the triple jump depends upon all criterion variables.
