29. Differentiate Kinetics and Kinematics.
View AnswerAns. Kinetics: Kinetics is an important aspect of sports performance, as it is involving the study of the forces and movements involved in athletic performance. Athletes use their kinematic and kinetic knowledge to optimize their movement patterns and mechanics which helps them to enhance their performance.
Kinematics: Kinematics is the study of motion, and it plays an important role in sports. In sports, kinematics is used to analyze the motion of athletes and equipment to understand their performance and improve their techniques. One important application of kinematics in sports is the study of movement patterns. This includes analyzing the movement of body segments, such as arms and legs, dining sports movements such as throwing, jumping, and running. By understanding the kinematics of these movements, athletes and coaches can identify areas for improvement in technique, leading to greater efficiency and reduced risk of injury.
30. Adolescence is the age of stress and strain. Explain.
View AnswerAns. Adolescence is the age of stress and strain. The period of passage from childhood to adulthood is a time of dramatic physical, cognitive and social changes. The early adolescence is called the age of awkwardness in physical appearance due to rapid and disproportionate growth in size, shape, height and weight. They are naturally more preoccupied about their physical appearance. Psychologically, this is a period of adjustment to the physical and social changes which distinguish childhood behaviour from adult behaviour. The variation in body build-up becomes a source of disturbance to many adolescents. In this stage, the adolescents try to solve various kinds of issues on their own. Because of not finding the right solution, they may take a wrong decision which can create a lot of stress or mental problem.
Pressure of studies, result of competitive exams, goal setting and achieving it through hard phases of life can also cause a lot of stress and tension to adolescents. They undergo lot of changes in mood, get easily irritated, when they desire for independence but are not given, results in emotional disturbances, etc.

37. What are Diarthrosis joints of the human body? Explain their types briefly.
View AnswerAns. Diarthrosis joints or synovial joints are freely movable joints that are most commonly present in a human body. These joints are covered by a hyaline cartilage which is a thin membrane filled with synovian fluid.
These joints are supported by ligaments that provide it with elasticity and prevents all injuries. The Diarthrosis joints are classified into further categories that are:
i. Gliding Joints: These joints move against each other or glide on a single plane. The ends of one of the gliding joints are slightly concave and other is slightly convex. Bones of wrists and ankles are example of such joints.
ii. Hinge Joints: In such joints, movement takes place on just one axis or direction like a door on its hinges. One end of such joints has a concave shape while other has convex which allows movement only in one place. Such joints are present in elbow, fingers etc.
iii. Condyloid Joints: These joints allow for circular motion, flexion and extension. The wrist joint between the radius and the carpal bones is an example of a condyloid joint.
iv. Saddle Joints: These joints allow flexion, extension and other movements, but does not allow rotation. The joint between the carpal of the hand and the metacarpal of the thumb is one such joint.
v. Ball and Socket Joints: These joints move freely and can rotate on any axis. In these joints, a rounded bone lies in a cup-like cavity. The hip and shoulder joints are examples of ball and socket joints. vi. Pivot Joints: These are joints with a rotatory movement on one axis. In other words, a bone of cylindrical shape moves around a pivot within a ring made of bones and cartilage.
