The findings showed that a significant relationship on long jump ability indicate that there was significant relationship was obtained between Explosive strength (0.35234), Locomotor Speed (0.24914), Agility (0.29106) with long jump ability. Whereas no significant relationship was obtained between Orientation Coordinative ability (0.12491) and Flexibility (0.91665), which shows that these components were not so important components for talented Pole vaulters. Pole vault ability indicated that there was no significant relationship was obtained between Locomotor Speed (0.21597), Explosive strength (0.2648260, Orientation coordinative ability (01334) Agility (0.14014), Flexibility (0.12) with high jump ability, which shows that these components were not so important components on which the assuagement of Pole vault depend.
