Answer 1

In high jump and long jump it always puzzled me why I preferred jumping off my weaker left leg. The high jump one can probably be explained by the fact that the shoulder bias when approaching the bar dominates over the leg bias. That is, my urge to approach the bar with my right shoulder is more dominant than the need to jump off my right leg. So naturally to approach the bar with my right shoulder means I can only do so by jumping off my left leg.

But I really can’t explain it for long jump.
