Optimal control simulations demonstrate how halteres (hand-held weights) increase standing long jump performance

The present study used optimal control simulations of the standing long jump to assess if performance is improved by using halteres, and if so, how the performance increase is achieved. In addition, simulations were performed to determine how the size of the halteres influences jump distance and if further performance gains can be achieved by releasing the halteres before landing.
