Value Based Question
15. Sunny was a good shot putter. His height was 5 feet 6 inches with a body weight of 75 kg. His
body was muscular. He used to put the shot with Perie O’brien technique. For the last one
year his performance was stable even after his best efforts. He met our new physical education
teacher to discuss about the root cause of his problem. He saw his technique of putting the
shot. He was not satisfied with his technique. He suggested that this technique was not
suitable for short-statured individual. He told him to practise disco-put technique instead of
Perie O’brien technique. Approximately, after 6 months’ practice, Sunny’s performance was
improved by 1.70 metre. In this way, biomechanics helped him a lot.
Based on the above passage, answer the following questions: (1 × 3 = 3)
1. What qualities did Sunny possess?
2. What values of the new physical education teacher did impress you?
3. What is biomechanics?
