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: Read the test name:
A standing broad jump starts from rest. Nothing in the name allows a run up.

Step 2: Look for the odd one out:
Options 2, 3 and 4 describe the take off line, arm and knee drive, and the aim of jumping far. All three fit the test.

Step 3: Spot the wrong line:
Option 1 talks about a 10 to 20 metre run. That belongs to the long jump event. It contradicts the standing start.

Step 4: Conclude:
So the statement that is not correct is option (1).

Final Answer:
A run up is not allowed, so option (1) is the incorrect statement. \[ \boxed{\text{Option 1}} \]
