Conclusion:
Based on the analysis of responses from 2 coaches from Serbia, with an average coaching experience of 13.5 years, it is concluded that the ideal somatotypes for athletics jumps are both Ectomorph and Mesomorph, with one coach favoring each trait. The data indicates that power is the most critical attribute for success in this sport, accounting for a substantial 38% of the necessary skills. Coordination follows as the second most important skill at 20%, while muscle endurance accounts for 15%. Flexibility (10%), agility (7%), and balance (5%) are considered less significant.
In terms of body proportions, both coaches indicated a preference for normal arms and normal torsos. For leg length, one coach favored normal legs, while the other preferred long legs.
Therefore, the ideal athlete for athletics jumps is characterized by a mix of ectomorphic and mesomorphic traits, with a strong emphasis on power and coordination, featuring predominantly normal arms and torsos, along with a combination of leg lengths that support optimal performance in this explosive and dynamic discipline.
