Topicality. Expanding knowledge regarding the individual-typological features of qualified long jumpers is extremely relevant both for science and practice and requires further study. The purpose of the study. Improving technical mastery and enhancing competitive performance based on identifying the individual-typological characteristics of qualified athletes specializing in the long jump. Material and methods of the study. Methods: theoretical analysis and generalization of sources from scientific-methodical literature, Internet data, psychodiagnostic methods (Eysenck test), and statistical analysis methods. The Eysenck test was used to determine temperament type, the level of extraversion–introversion, and neuroticism (emotional stability). The study involved 10 qualified male long jumpers, including five Masters of Sports of Ukraine and five Candidates for Master of Sports. Results of the study. It was determined that out of eight athletes (two did not pass the lie scale), six individuals (75 %) have a predominantly sanguine temperament type (in various variations), one individual (12.5 %) is phlegmatic-introverted, and one individual (12.5 %) is choleric-sanguine. Thus, the predominant temperament type in the group is sanguine (and its combinations). At the same time, the athletes’ level of neuroticism ranged from 8 to 15 points (from low and optimal to moderately elevated). Conclusions. Analysis of the individual-typological characteristics of qualified long jumpers showed that most athletes are characterized by a predominance of the sanguine temperament type, combined with moderate or pronounced levels of extraversion and varying levels of neuroticism, which requires an individualized approach to improving technical mastery and psychoregulation in competitive activity.
