Abstract: The purpose of this investigation is to find out the relationship among elastic power and long jump performance. To achieve the purpose of the study, 20 male physical education students’ age ranging from 18 to 21 were purposively selected to act as subjects. Measurement for elastic power was done by depth jump test from dropping height of 45cm. Running long jump was measured by using running long jump performance. The Pearson’s Product moment correlation was used in order to find out the relationship between selected variables. The level of significance was set at 0.05. Results showed statistically significant (p<0.05) coefficient of correlation (r=0.67) among selected variables. The positive value of Coefficient of correlation indicates that increase in depth jump performance is followed by increase in running Long jump performance. These findings suggest that elastic power testing and training should be utilized for enhancing long jump performance.
