Question

Which of the following statement is Not correct with respect to the procedure of performing Standing Broad Jump?

• A. Take atleast 10 to 20 meters approach run
• B. Stand behind the take off line
• C. Extend knees and swing arms forward to provide forward drive
• D. Jump as far as possible

Hint:

A 'standing' jump has no run up.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understanding the Question:
We need the statement that does NOT match the Standing Broad Jump. The word 'standing' is the clue.

Step 2: Key Approach:
In a standing jump the athlete jumps from a standing position, without a run up. The jump uses only the leg and arm swing.

Step 3: Check statement (1):
A 10 to 20 metre approach run is used in the long jump, not in the standing broad jump. So (1) is NOT correct. It is our answer.

Step 4: Check statement (2):
The athlete stands behind the take off line with feet slightly apart. This is correct.

Step 5: Check statement (3):
The athlete bends the knees and swings the arms back, then extends the knees and swings the arms forward for drive. This is correct.

Step 6: Check statement (4):
The aim is to cover the longest distance in the jump. This is correct.

Final Answer:
The approach run is not part of the Standing Broad Jump. This is option (1). \[ \boxed{\text{Option 1}} \]
