No matter which technique is used during the jump phase, it is important that a "distance-gaining" landing is well prepared for. Shortly before landing, the arms are swung far backwards so that the feet can be simultaneously lifted higher. At the moment of breaking the sand, both arms are swung powerfully forward to counter the tendency to fall backwards. 2, record 1, English, - fall%20backwards

[...] Saut en longueur sans élan. [...] Vous prenez place devant la ligne 0, les pieds légèrement écartés et les pointes des pieds juste derrière la ligne. Vous fléchissez les genoux et amenez les bras vers l'arrière. Vous exercez une poussée simultanée des deux pieds et sautez vers l'avant, le plus loin possible, à l'aide d’un fort balancement des bras; vous atterrissez sur les deux pieds, l'un contre l'autre, sans tomber en arrière. La mesure du saut est prise à partir du talon le plus proche de la ligne d’appui.
