A Study on Relationship between Leg Power and Long Jump Performance

The purpose of the study was to find out the relationship between leg power and long jump performance. For the accomplishment of the objective of the study total 30 intercollegiate level male long jump athletes were randomly selected as subjects. The age range of the selected subjects were 18 to 25 years. The leg power was assessed with the help of vertical jump and horizontal jump tests. To analyse the collected data the descriptive statistics, mean, SD and Pearson’s coefficient of correlation was employed with the help of SPSS 21.1. the level of significance was 0.05 level.
