Movement Analysis Graphic Organizer

Read the long-jump observation in the case file. Use evidence from the scenario to analyse technique, then recommend one practical improvement. The answer fields contain teacher answers.

Case file: long jump

At a training session, Freya completes a standing long jump from a marked line onto a sand landing area. The observer records: Freya begins with feet hip-width apart and knees slightly bent. She swings both arms back, then forward as she extends her hips, knees and ankles. She leaves the ground from both feet, travels forward, and brings her knees up. Just before landing, she extends her lower legs and reaches her arms forward. Her heels touch the sand first, but her hips continue travelling backwards and one hand touches the sand behind her. The measured distance is taken from the starting line to the nearest mark in the sand.

Analyse the performance

Answer using movement-analysis terms and details from the case file.

1.Which skill is being analysed, and what is the movement goal in this observation?

2.Which sequence correctly matches the movement phases to Freya's actions?

Preparation: arms swing back and knees bend; execution: legs extend into take-off; follow-through: legs reach forward and she lands.
Preparation: she lands; execution: arms swing back; follow-through: she takes off.
Preparation: legs reach forward; execution: she lands; follow-through: knees bend before take-off.
Preparation: she takes off; execution: she lands; follow-through: arms swing back.

3.Name one detail from Freya's preparation that helps her create an effective take-off.

4.True or false: Freya's arm swing can contribute to forward momentum during take-off. Give a brief reason.

TrueFalse

5.Match each movement component to the observation that best demonstrates it.

Coordination
Balance and control
Body alignment

One hand touches the sand behind her after landing.
Arms swing forward as hips, knees and ankles extend.
Feet begin hip-width apart and knees are slightly bent.

6.Identify one effective feature of Freya's landing and one feature that reduces her recorded distance.

7.Suggest one specific technique cue Freya could practise to improve her landing. Explain how it may help.

8.Which observation is the strongest evidence that Freya coordinates her upper and lower body during take-off?

Her arms swing forward as her hips, knees and ankles extend.
Her heels touch the sand first.
Her feet are hip-width apart before the jump.
Her hand touches the sand behind her.

9.The observer wants to make a fair comparison between two attempts. Name one condition that should be kept consistent and explain why.

10.Write a concise movement-analysis summary: identify Freya's main strength, her priority for improvement, and one way she could check whether her technique changes.
