Focus of the researcher in present investigation was to understand about the contribution of velocity of the run-up and power of leg muscles on performance of horizontal jump as those are most influential factors to achieve the higher performance level in competition. To fulfill the purpose, 30 male district level horizontal jumpers were selected as subjects from different coaching clubs of North 24 Parganas, South 24 Parganas and Kolkata district of West Bengal for the present study. Their age were ranged from 12 to 14 years. Velocity of the run-up, power of leg muscles and performance of horizontal jumpers were measured through time of run up, Hop test and Running Broad Jump respectively. In order to analysis the data and find out the relationship, Pearson product moment correction of coefficient was applied. Further Multiple Correlation was applied to find out the combined effect of velocity of the run-up and power of leg muscle on performance of horizontal jump. Level of significance was set at 0.05 level. The researcher found significant relationship between velocity of run-up & performance in horizontal jump and also between the power of leg muscle & performance in horizontal jump. Researcher also noted that velocity of run-up and power of leg muscle both has a combined effect on performance in horizontal jump.
