Comparative Study between Chinese and Japanese Junior Long Jumpers and Triple Jumpers

The Chinese jumpers were compared with the Japanese jumpers in body shape, specific qualities, skills and training methods. For body shape the body weight of the Japanese jumpers is slightly heavier than the Chinese jumpers, but for body height they are not as high as the Chinese jumpers. There are no remarkable differences in specific qualities between the Chinese jumpers and the Japanese jumpers. The running movements of the Japanese jumpers were more rational. When they run, the moving range of the knees and hips of the back leg thrust is larger and the swing leg moves forward fully. The air movements in the long jump of the Chinese jumpers are more rational. In the aspect of strength training the Japanese jumpers adopt more jumping exercises, but they don't pay attention to the speed of exercises. The strength training methods adopted by the Chinese jumpers still need to improve. Moreover, the Chinese jumpers should pay enough attention to basic fundamentals of running.
