broad jump
Distance leaping event
Broad jump is an athletic event measuring how far a person can leap horizontally from a standing position or running start.
The term is more common in American English, while long jump predominates in international track and field: We did the broad jump in gym class.
The standing broad jump tests explosive leg power without a running approach.
