Detailed Solution

An athlete runs some distance before taking a long jump to give himself larger inertia of motion.
By running, the athlete acquires inertia of motion which helps him to take a longer and a higher jump and when the athlete jumps, they already have a forward motion which would be comparatively greater than the jump made from standing in one spot.
