The LONG JUMP is a track and field event in which athletes attempt to JUMP as far as possible from a take-off point. The term 'LONG JUMP' was derived from the two words 'LONG' and 'JUMP, ' and it is also known as the 'broad JUMP.' The event requires athletes to LEAP from a take-off point, land on a sandpit, and measure the distance of the JUMP. The term 'LEAP' is often used interchangeably with 'LONG JUMP, ' as it is a four-letter word that describes the same action.
