External focus is a way to guide human movement based on outcome rather than execution, therefore all instructions are provided based on factors present in the environment. The aim of this review is to search information about the effects of external focus in the long jump task and to compare its outcomes with other learning methods. For the research, online database search engines such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, Embase, Cinahl, and Scopus were used from January 2010 to June 2020. About 41 articles were identified by searching the online databases, 12 were discarded because they were duplicates, 11 were excluded due to the content of the abstract, and finally, 5 were excluded after evaluating the content of the full text, leaving 13 articles to be included in this review. This review sought to summarize the findings in the literature on the use of external focus in the practice of long jump. The authors concluded that the external focus is a relevant approach and can be used as a tool for the learning process.

外部焦点是一种基于结果而不是执行来指导人类运动的方法，因此，所有指令都是基于环境中存在的因素提供的。这篇综述的目的是搜索有关跳远任务中外部焦点影响的信息，并将其结果与其他学习方法进行比较。在这项研究中，从2010年1月到2020年6月，使用了PubMed，ScienceDirect，Embase，Cinahl和Scopus等在线数据库搜索引擎。通过搜索在线数据库识别出约41篇文章，其中12篇因为重复而被丢弃，11篇被删除。由于摘要的内容而被排除在外，最后，在评估了全文的内容后，有5篇被排除在外，从而使13篇文章被收录在本评论中。这篇综述试图总结文献中关于在跳远练习中使用外部注意力的发现。作者得出的结论是，外部关注是一种相关的方法，可以用作学习过程的工具。
