Long jump and triple jump
 Allgemeines At school and recreational level, take-off boards with a width of 20 cm should be installed while at competitive levels, boards with a width of 34 | or 30 cm are needed. For the long jump, the take-off boards should be positioned between 1 and 3 metres from the pit, while the distance between the zero line and the end of the pit should be at least 10 metres. The built-in troughs should be drained of water. Material The built-in troughs consist of aluminium with an open floor and/or of a precast concrete element. The take-off boards are made from timber or recycled recan® plastic. Design Built-in troughs for competitive events The recessed longitudinal wall should be positioned on the run-up side. This allows optimal transition | from the plastic covering to the take-off board. This means that there is no bothersome metal edge, in case the athlete is wearing spiked shoes. Take-off boards for competitive events The competitive take-off boards are designed in two parts and correspond with IAAF regulations. These are positioned securely in the built-in trough using tightening screws and can be easily removed. Both sides of the competitive take-off boards can be used, with the lining for the insert board and/or the control strips included. recan® take-off boards are made from recycled plastic. They are durable, spike-resistant, torsion-free and dimensionally stable. |
