Triple Jump Training Program

A training program has to be developed to meet the athlete's individual needs and consider many factors: gender, age, strengths, weaknesses, objectives, training facilities etc. As all athletes have different needs, a single program suitable for all athletes is not possible.

The following is an example of a week's training for each of the three phases of an annual training program for the Triple Jump.
