The purpose of this study is to examine the visual control of gait in the long jump approach for school children and untrained college students.Analysis of existing film records revealed that all subjects adopted a visual control strategy at some points during their final strides. School children adopted a visual control from one stride to five strides away from the takeoff zone of 150cm, from one stride to four strides away from takeoff zone of 50cm, and from one stride to ten strides away from takeoff zone of 20cm. College students, on the other hand, adopted a visual control from one stride to eight strides away from the takeoff zone of 150cm, and from one stride to four strides away from the takeoff zone of 50cm and 20cm.This was thus taken to indicate that visual control of gait in the long jump approach is not a specially trained skill as much as it is a natural means of controlling gait. School children, however, differed from college students in the control of gait for three takeoff zones.
