Takeoff
Takeoff pushing oneself off the ground (from a standing position or following an approach) with the goal of reaching a certain jump height or length. This movement is an element of basic techniques in many sports. In ball games it is attempted to apply a certain technique after takeoff (e.G. A header in soccer, a jump shot in handball, a lay-up in basketball). In track and field the takeoff is important for lifting oneself / coming off the ground after the run up/approach in all jumping disciplines. In horseback riding or show jumping the approach of the horse to an obstacle culminates in the takeoff of the horse. Precise preparation and execution of the takeoff are very important for avoiding injury to the horse and rider. In ski jumping the jumper takes off from the takeoff platform. In springboard diving the flight phase of the body begins with the takeoff. Similar situations occur frequently in other artistic sports such as gymnastics, rhythmical callisthenics, figure skating, ice dance, or dancing. In skydiving the (downward) takeoff is of considerable importance for the free fall before opening the parachute. Since jumping is a basic activity and elementary experience of the human being, the takeoff has to be regarded as one of the fundamental elements of (sport) movement. (H.Haag & g.Haag, dictionary, 2003, 526p) takeoff in ski-jumping, the point at the end of the inrun, the moment where the jumper takes flight (skiing) (chambers. Sports factf.,2005, 527P.) Takeoff the launch of a jump (freestyle skiing) takeoff the moment at which the diver lifts from the board or platform to begin execution of the dive (diving) takeoff the moment in a locomotor skill when the support limb(s) leave the ground to project the body into flight (dict.Of sp.And ex.Sc.1991, 150P) takeoff the moment when a ski jumper takes flight at the end of the inrun (skiing)
