This is when a person jumps with the two legs off the ground at the same time.
It could also be a jump and a run, in which there is a lead leg and a trail leg
(with the same leg always in front) and the other following.

Long jump (Field events)
Long jump is a field event which involves running and then jumping for a
distance from a spot into a flat surface called landing pit. The event requires
speed, spring and a great deal of body control. The jump has the following
five stages (skills):
1 The approach run or run-up
2 The take-off
3 The flight
4 The landing
5 The recovery
1 The approach run or run-up
The run-up is the running to approach the take-off board. The runway for
the run-up has a minimum of fifteen strides for a beginner and a minimum
length of 40 meters for adults. The run-up is to prepare the jumper to cover
some long distance when he jumps/leaps forward.

2 The take-off
The take-off is the stepping on and off the take-off board to put the jumper in
the air. It is done with one leg (single take-off), and it is an upward and
forward movement. The stronger leg is the take-off leg in order to give the
jumper a good spring. The take-off board is usually made of wood.
3 The flight
The flight is the action of the jumper in the air after take-off.
4 The landing
The landing is the arrival at the landing pit. It involves learning to land
properly inside the pit without committing any landing fault or sustaining an
injury. It is advisable for jumpers to keep the legs wide apart while landing
for effective balance, and to fall forward while landing.
5 The recovery
