25. What is the aim of Physical Education ?

Ans. Aims of Physical Education

Physical Education means “education through movement”. It aims to maximize our physical ability, leading us to be healthy, knowledgeable, skillful, creative, productive and influential in all areas of life.

According to the Ministry of Education and National Planning of Physical Education and Recreation, “The aim of PE must be to make every child physically, mentally and emotionally fit and also to develop in him such personal and social qualities as will help him to live happily with others and build him up a good citizen.”

According to Thomas Wood, “Physical education must have an aim as broad as education itself and as noble and inspiring as human life.”

According to J.R. Sherman, “The aim of physical education is to influence the experiences of persons to the extent that each individual within the limits of his capacity may be helped to adjust successfully in society, to increase and improve his wants and to develop the ability to satisfy his wants.”

All the above definitions of physical education emphasize the holistic concept of wholesome development of human personality for complete living as it would lead to their physical, mental, social, intellectual and emotional development. Thus, the aim of physical education and sports is the overall development of human personality so that he is able to withstand the ups and downs of human life & become a respectable citizen of the society.

27. Write a short note on traditional games.

Ans. Various traditional games are part and parcel of Indian tradition. India is considered as a place of origin for a number of traditional games which are well-known throughout the world in present time. Traditional Sports and Games provide unique opportunities that mainstream sports may not. They are often based on fun and participation, not competition and provide a link to something bigger than sports and physical activity alone. A number of leading traditional games which had Indian origin are Teerandaji, Kabaddi, kho-kho, Polo, shatranj and Martial Art etc. All these games require technical and tactical skills along-with other physiological components like speed, strength, stamina, agility and coordinative abilities.

28. Differentiate Physiology and anatomy.

Ans. Anatomy examines and describes the structures of living things. Anatomy studies the form, while physiology looks at the function – anatomy looks at what it is, while physiology looks at what it does. For example, an anatomist is concerned with the shape, size, position, structure, blood supply and innervation of an organ such as the liver while a physiologist will be interested in the production of bile and the role of the liver in nutrition and regulating body functions.

Physiology and anatomy are very closely related disciplines; they are intrinsically linked.

29. Write any four points highlighting the importance of Biomechanics in sports.

Ans. Importance of Biomechanics in Sports

1. Analyze and improve the efficiency of competitive performance : Biomechanics provides a systematic approach to understanding the mechanics of human movement, which is essential for analyzing and improving the efficiency of athletic performance. Biomechanics helps coaches and athletes understand the underlying principles of efficient movement and how they can be applied to optimize performance.

2. Better development of motor abilities : Biomechanics plays a crucial role in the development of motor abilities in athletes. By providing a scientific basis for understanding movement, biomechanics helps coaches and trainers design effective training programs that target specific areas for improvement.

3. For diagnostic teaching : Biomechanics is an important tool for teaching and coaching, as it provides a scientific basis for understanding movement and identifying areas for improvement. This information can be used to design and implement effective training programs, which can lead to improved athletic performance.

4. For diagnostic coaching : Biomechanics is also important for diagnostic coaching, as it provides a scientific approach to understanding movement patterns and identifying areas for improvement. By analyzing movement patterns, coaches and trainers can develop effective training programs that target specific areas for improvement.

30. Explain the factorsthat affect Cohesion.

Ans. Factors that affect Cohesion Many factors affect the cohesion that will develop on a team. Such factors include the environment (e.g. social and physical), personal factors (e.g. personality), team factors (e.g. norms) and leadership factors (e.g. styles; Carron, Widmeyer & Brawley, 1985).

1. Similarities of Attitudes and Values : One of the main factors affecting team cohesion is the similarity in attitudes and values among team members. People enjoy and get attached to the people who have similar opinions, beliefs and code of conduct.

2. Size of the Group : Cohesiveness is affected by the size of the group. It decreases as the size of the group increases. When the size of the group increases the interaction with the members becomes more difficult and hence the goal is hampered.

3. Time : When people spend time with each other the more they will get close and hence it strengthens the degree of cohesiveness. By interacting more often, the members are able to learn about each other’s strengths, weaknesses and skills.

4. Inter Dependency : When each member has autonomous action, the cohesiveness between the members of such a group would be less as opposed to the group whose members are doing the procedure and are relying upon each other.

5. Coach Behaviour : Coach’s behaviour plays a major role in team cohesiveness. When a coach develops a close relationship with a few in groups that may cause unhealthy competition amongst members of the group. It is important that coaches reward cooperative behaviour so that the bond grows amongst the team members.

34. Explain what etiquette should one keep in mind while communicating with a person with special needs ?

Ans. Etiquettes for Communicating with People with Disabilities

1. Positive and Energetic Attitude –

• One should approach a person with special needs with positive energy and attitude.

• Approach should be warm and friendly.

• Use a normal tone of voice when welcoming a person with disability.

• One should not show sympathy.

2. Communication –

• Communication should be two way – speaking to the person directly, and not to the person accompanying her/him.

• When introduced to a person with a disability, it is appropriate to offer to shake hands. If the person cannot shake hands, acknowledge them with a smile and a spoken greeting.

• Avoid asking personal questions about someone’s disability.

• Establish a rapport with her/him.

• If necessary, use a communication aid such as a communication book or communication device, if required.

• Keep your tone low.

• Communicate with the individual slowly and clearly.

3. Social Etiquette –

• Make surroundings disabled-friendly and comfortable for people with special needs.

• Do not make assumptions about what they can or cannot do.

• The impact of a specific disability can vary widely from person to person, so help only if it appears to be needed. Just because someone has a disability, don’t assume she needs help.

• If the setting is accessible, people with disabilities can usually get around fine. Adults with disabilities want to be treated as independent people. Offer assistance only if the person appears to need it.

• Never play with their equipment.

• Ask them before offering any help.

• Only ask question about their disability if you know the person.

• Develop a culture of inclusion in surroundings.

4. Physical Etiquette

• The height difference between a person in a wheelchair and an able-bodied person can create an unspoken feeling of superiority and inferiority. Place yourself at eye level in front of the person to facilitate the conversation. To be safe, sit or stand at eye-level with the person who has a disability when it is appropriate and possible.

• Make eye contact; never avoid someone with a disability.

• Some people with disabilities depend on their arms for balance. Grabbing them, even if your intention is to assist, could knock them off balance.

• Avoid patting a person on the head or touching his wheelchair, or cane. The equipment is part of the personal body space of the person who uses it.

35. Explain in detail about the concept of test, measurement and evaluation in physical education and sports.

Ans. Test

Testing is an important element in the field of games and sports. It is an attempt to assess the needs and capacities of the athlete or player, with a view to help and improve the performance. With the help of test, teaching can be determined and progress can be known. But for accurate results from a test, a teacher, coach or trainer must know the present abilities of the athlete or player. A test should be valid, meaning it measures what it is supposed to measure and it should be reliable, meaning it is repeatable. According to Webster’s Dictionary, “ A test is a tool to evaluate the skill, knowledge, capacities or aptitudes of an individual or a group.”

Measurement

Measurement is the use of tests and techniques to get the information about a particular skill or fitness level of an athlete or player. In other words, measurement is a process with the help of various types of tests through which the fitness level, knowledge, ability, behaviour, interest and personality traits etc. of an athlete or player can be measured. Measurements generally result in quantitative data. According to H.M. Barrow, “Measurement refers to the process of administrating a test to obtain quantitative data.”

Evaluation

An evaluation is an appraisal or examination of something to determine its worth or fitness. For example, before you start an exercise programme, get a medical evaluation, to make sure you’re able to handle the activity. According to Tuckman, “Evaluation is a process where in the parts, processes or outcomes of a programme are examined to see whether they are satisfactory, particularly with reference to the programmes stated objectives our own expectations or our own standards of excellence.” Example : A physical education teacher records that a student completes in 20 pushups in 1 minute and reports the score as Good. In this example, Test is Pushups, Measurement is 20 pushups and Evaluation is Good.

36. “Warm up is important for optimum performance”. Justify the statement.

Ans. Warming up does produce physiological changes in the working of a muscle and warming up helps in building a strong and efficient formation for the working of muscles.

The Physiological basis of Warming Up are as follows :

1. Increases the Body Temperature : A proper warming-up increases the body and muscle temperature which helps in the efficiency of contractions and relaxation of muscles. So it has a lot of benefits for the sportspersons. Researches point that if the muscles have been slightly warmed-up just before the beginning of activity the performance is greatly improved. If one fails to do warm-up exercises before vigorous activity it may lead to tearing of muscle fibres

2. Decreases the Resistance in Muscle Capillaries : Researches reveal that warming up decreases the resistance in muscle capillaries and brings the muscles in a state of readiness.

3. Decreases the Viscosity of Muscles : Warming-up decreases the viscosity of muscles. Researches indicate that if a previously inactive muscle is stimulated repeatedly, the first few contractions are often small and irregular and relaxation is incomplete. But once the contractions become stronger, relaxation is complete. It takes place due to decrease in the viscosity of muscles. This leads to faster and efficient rate of muscular contraction and relaxation. It also reduces the occurrence of injury or wear and tear of muscles and ligaments.

4. Increases the Speed of Nerve Impulses : Warming-up increases the speed of nerve impulses, which improves and sharpens the reaction time of sportspersons. Improvement in reaction time is important to sportspersons in most of the games and sports.

5. Increases Metabolic Rate : Warming-up increases the metabolic rate which ultimately improves energy level. In fact, the metabolic rate increases due to rise in core temperature. If there is an increase in temperature by 0.5°C, the metabolic rate increases by 7%. A high metabolic rate leads to higher production of energy.

6. Increases the Speed of Oxygen and Fuel Transfer to Tissues : A proper warming-up increases the speed of oxygen and fuel transfer to tissues. Its occurrence takes place due to the enhancement of blood flow through the muscles by dilating the small blood vessels. Increase in oxygen supply improves the functionality of muscles.

7. Reduces the Blood Lactic Acid : Researches indicate that heart rate and consumption of oxygen are directly related to muscle temperature. If the temperature increases, the heart rate also increases and the consumption of oxygen is also high which reduces the blood lactic acid.

8. Increase in Working Capacity : The above mentioned physiological adaptations increase the capacity of a person to do physical work. All the systems of body become efficient to do their related work.

37. Explain in detail the career options in Physical Education.
