Advertising is a type of communication whereby people promote or persuade customers to utilize their services. There are two types of advertisements:

1. Classified advertisements
Classified ads are called CLASSIFIED ADS because they are CLASSIFIED into different type of categories depending on their functions.
Classified advertisements are advertisements used by the general masses to promote or use services. They are generally text-based ads where newspaper
agencies generally charge on the number of words used.
So, you can very well imagine that there is no place for precise English sentences here and the only concern is to get things noticed with as minimum words as possible.

Psychological benefits of exercises.

Psychology

The word psychology is derived from a Greek word ‘psyche’ and ‘logos’. ‘Psyche’ - soul or
mind’ and ‘logos - study’. Generally it is accepted as study of behavior.
Psychology is used in sport to enhance performance and to know the factors which
affect our performance, like - anxiety, stress, personality, motivation, etc.

Sports psychology and its importance in the field of sports.
Sports psychology is the branch of applied psychology which deals with sports performance
and the Behavior of a player during training or competitions.

Importance of Sports psychology is due to

*(i) Learning of Motor Skills
Sports psychology plays a major role in the learning of motor
skills. Motor skills learning depends on the individual's level of readiness.

(ii) Analyzing the Behavior of Sportsmen Performance of a player depends upon the behaviors
which are influenced by various factors such as sex differences, family conditions, personal
background, heredity, growth, physical and mental maturity levels etc.

*(iii) Identifying Talent for Specific Sports:
Every sports has specific psychological demands.
e.g boxing requires more aggressiveness, whereas archery and shooting require more
concentration.

*(iv) Stabilizing the Performance for Longer Period:
It helps in stabilizing the performance of a
player for a longer period. Then the performance of the player largely depends upon his
psychological make up and anxiety level.

*(V) Important from Research Point of View :
Sports psychologists works in very close
proximity to coaches to uplift the performance of players. Research findings help in
promotion of sports and games.

(vi) Encouraging the Players to Make a Comeback in Professional Sports Sports psychology
encourages the players, who, due to injury or some accident, are forced to take a long break
from their professional career, to return to their sport.

Stress and its management techniques. ( तनाव )

A state of affair involving demand on physical or mental energy. The body‘s physiological
response to demands place on it.
In simple words stress is a condition or circumstance which
can disturb the normal physical and mental health of a person.
Stress is nothing but response of body to an event or situation which are produced by
physiological and psychological changes in the body stress is a body’s method to react a
challenge. It is fight or flight reaction.

Coping up is a technique which tells us how to handle anxiety or stress.

Techniques to manage Stress:-
a) Participation in Physical activities,
b) Achieve a high level of physical fitness,
c) Building self confidence,
d) Relaxation techniques
e) Developing Hobbies
f) Staying cool and confident under pressure
g) Avoid the company of stressed persons
h) Don‘t think about stressful thoughts

Anxiety and its management

Anxiety (चिंता):- Anxiety is a psychological and physiological state of an individual.
It is a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease about something with an uncertain outcome.

It is characterized by cognitive, emotional and behavioral components. These components
combine to create an unpleasant feeling, which is associated with uneasiness, fear of worry.
According to Levitt, ―Anxiety is a personal feeling of apprehension accompanied by an
increased level of physiological arousal.
―Anxiety is a chronic fear that limits our ability to carry out normal functions‖

Anxiety (also called angst or worry) is a psychological and physiological state characterized
by somatic, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral components. It is the displeasing feeling of
fear and concern. The root meaning of the word anxiety is 'to vex or trouble'; in either
presence or absence of psychological stress, anxiety can create feelings of fear, worry,
uneasiness, and dread.

Anxiety in sports is a natural reaction to threat in environment & part preparation of fight
response. It is a psychological phenomenon.

Management of Anxiety :- Anxiety can be managed through various techniques such as
(i) Deep breathing
(ii) Drink water
(iii) Follow advice
(iv) Psychological balance
(v) Warming-up
(vi) No criticism
(vii) Focus your target

systems which determine his unique adjustment to his environment.
Personality is not static but a dynamic concept. It is continuously chaning and growing. Children may have identical
environment. They may have similar experiences but they react to the same environment in
different way.
Personality is a very important factor in games and sports as it influence the performance of
individual by his/her level of cognition, motivation, traits and behavior.

Types of Personality

Sheldon’s classification of personality.

Endomorph: Endomorphs have a pear shaped and a rounded physique. They have short
arms and legs. The upper parts of arms and legs seem to be thicker than the lower parts.
They have underdeveloped muscles. They are more inclined to become obese. Their
excessive mass hinders their ability to compete in sports. These are most suitable for
activities in which great strength is required.

Mesomorph: Mesomorphs have a rectangular shaped body with athletic physiques and a
balanced body composition. They are able to increase their muscles size quickly and easily.
They have thick bones and muscles. Their chest and shoulders are broader than the
waistline. They can excel in sports which require great strength, short bursts of energy and
lots of power because they have enough strength, agility and speed.

Ectomorphs: Ectomorphs are usually referred to as slim persons because their muscles and
limbs are elongated. They have weak constitution of busy and face great difficulty in gaining
weight. They have flat chest and have less muscle mass. They do not have a lot of strength
but they dominate the endurance sports as their busy type is naturally suited to perform
wonderfully in endurance sports. They are best suited for games and sports like gymnastics
and long distance races.

9.1 Concept and Definition of Sports Medicine :
Sports medicine is a branch of medical science that deals with the treatment of injuries related to sports and games.
It helps in preventing, diagnosing and treating the sports injuries. It lays stress on improving sports performance of sports person.

Aims and Scope of Sports Medicine
1. To provide information to sports person about sports injuries.
2. To provide knowledge about causes of injuries due to improper conditioning, faulty techniques, improper warming up, environmental factors and improper fitness.
3. To provide treatment and rehabilitation for sports injuries.
4. To provide knowledge about the preventive measures of sports injuries.

9.2 Sports Injuries: Classification, Causes and Prevention :

Injuries which happen during practice, training or competition is called sports injury.
If appropriate steps are taken by the sports person the chance of getting injuries can be reduced.

Sports injuries can be classified as:
1. Soft Tissue Injuries
2.Bone Injuries
3. Joint Injuries

(A) Soft Tissue Injuries

1. Contusion (नील)
Muscle injury occurs due to direct hit, with or without any sports equipment.
Blood vessels in the muscles are broken, bleeding may occur in the muscles .
Stiffness & swelling common sign.
Muscle may not respond or may become totally inactive.
Common in : Boxing, Wrestling, Kabaddi.

2. Strain (मांसपेशी खिंचाव)
Mild or severe muscle injury.
In severe case, muscle may rupture.
In case of complete rupture movement of limb is not possible due to severe pain.
May happen during practice or clash.

3. Sprain (मोच )
May occur due to over stretching or tearing of ligament.
Occurs at wrist joint and ankle joint.
Some time fracture is possible along with sprain.
Swelling, inflammation, severe pain & tenderness are common symptoms.

4. Abrasion (घर्षण)
Skin Injury.
Occurs due to friction with any equipment or a fall over the area where the bone is close to skin.

5. Bruises (चोट)
An injury appearing as an area of discoloured skin ( red to blue or dark purple )on the body
Caused by a blow or impact rupturing underlying blood vessels.

(B) BONE INJURIES

1. Simple Fracture : A fracture without any wound .

2. Compound Fracture : Along with fracture, skin and muscles are also damaged. Generally, the broken bones comes outside tearing the skin.

3. Complicated Fracture : Along with fracture, internal organs like tissues, nerves or arteries are damaged. Such fractures are dangerous and common in high jump and pole vault.

4. Green Stick Fracture: Common in children because their bones are delicate and can bend on any stress.

5. Comminuted Fracture : When bone is broken into two or more pieces. Common in cycle and motorcycle races.

6. Impacted Fracture : Fractured bone enters into another bone.

7. Depressed Fracture : Bones are broken and go down below there normal level. Usually found in the skull.

(C) JOINT INJURIES

1. Dislocation of Lower Jaw: Occurs when chin strikes to another object. May also occur when mouth is opened excessively.

2. Dislocation of Shoulder Joint : Occurs due to sudden jerk or a fall on hard surface. The end of humerus comes out from the socket

3. Dislocation of Hip Joint : Occurs by putting maximum strength spontaneously. End of the femur is displaced from the socket.

PREVENTION OF SPORTS INJURIES

Injuries are somewhat mandatory in sports. Effect of the injuries to the athlete is of extreme nature as it may bring an halt to their sports carrier.
Taking prevention is always better. A sudden injury may be the reason for withdrawal from the competition which gives a negative impact on the future performance of the athlete.

*1. Proper Warm-Up :
Essential before training and competition.
Tones up muscles for training and competitions.
Reduces chances of injuries.
Routine should be of minimum of 10 minutes.
Start with gentle exercises to brisk exercises.
Put more emphasis on muscles which will be used in the training or competition.

2. Proper Conditioning :
Injuries are caused by weak muscles not ready to meet the demand of the sport.
Use weight and circuit training methods to improve muscular strength.
Conditioning improves the Neuro - muscular co-ordination.

*3. Balanced Diet: Lack of essential minerals and vitamins such as calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D etc. make bones weak. Weak bones lead to sports injuries.

*4. Proper Knowledge of Sports Skills:
Proper knowledge of sports skills is very beneficial and essential for injury prevention.
Sportsperson should be efficient in performing the related sports skills.

*5. Use of Protective Equipments :
Using protective equipments is very basic requirement for the safety of players.

Stress should be laid down on good quality of protective equipments.

6. Proper Sports Facilities :
With proper warm-up and skills etc., proper facilities for the training and competitions is also very important for prevention from injuries.
Outdoor Grounds or indoor halls should be maintained properly for the training.
Specially surface, for the particular sport should be maintained(eg.landing pit for high jumpers).

7. Unbiased Officiating : Officiating specially in teams can play an important role for prevention of injuries.
Unbiased officiating maintains a discipline among the players and reduces the chances of injuries.

*8. Do Not Over train :
Over training in the beginning for the beginners causes sports injury.
Beginners should avoid doing too much too soon.
If one is training after a long gap of time, it should be increased wisely otherwise there are more chances of injuries.

9. Use of Proper technique :
Using right technique in training and playing of particular sport, prevent from injuries .
Wrong techniques may cause tendonitis or fractures.
One should always train under expert guidance and supervision.

10. Obeying the Rules : Obeying the rules of particular game during training and competition prevents from injuries .
On the other hand if player is not obeying the rules of the game, he is more likely to get injured .

9.3 Management of Injuries

Basic knowledge of First – Aid is essential.
Immediate First – Aid is required .
In absence of First – Aid, consequence may be serious for the sports person.

Contusion :

Cold Compression should be used immediately for around half an hour.
Cold Compression should be performed five to six times daily.
In case of more swelling at the injured part Anti – Inflammatory medicine should be given.
If the swelling still persist, consult the doctor.
For Rehabilitation, flexibility exercises should be done carefully.

Strain :

Strained organ should be kept in comfortable position.
Pour cold water for 20 to 30 minutes.
Ice should not be applied directly (wrap ice in cotton cloth).
Light massage should be given after 2 – 3 days.

8.1 Gender differences between physical and physiological parameters

There are following physical differences between males and females:

1. Body size: there is a lot of difference in body size of males and females. The size of body of
males is larger in comparison to females.

2. Body shape: In males ‘V’ Shaped body is considered the best whereas in females slim
constitution of body is considered the best.

3. Centre of gravity: The height of female is usually found is less in comparison to males. The
centre of gravity of females is less high and the height of centre of gravity of males if high.
This is the reason why the stability in females is more than males.

4. Abdomen: females have larger abdominal cavity than males. This is due to the fact that
females have additional organs of reproduction.

5. Bones of shoulders: The shoulder bones of females are found to be weak in comparion to
shoulder bones of males. Due to this reason, females are provided low weight equipments in
throwing events.

6.Vertebrae, legs and knees: The vertebrae in females is long in comparison to hands and legs
whereas in males the vertebra is small in comparison to hands and legs .

The physiological difference in females and males are follows:

1. Muscular strength: The muscular strength of females is less than males. The contraction and
extension of muscles of females is less forceful whereas males have more forceful
contraction and extension of muscles.

2. Blood circulation: The size of heart in females is smaller in comparison to males.and also
there is less amount of blood in females than males. Generally the heart rate of females
remain more than males.

3. Respiratory organs: Lungs of females are smaller in comparison to males. That’s why,
females have less endurance than males. In fact, lung capacity of normal healthy female is
10% less in comparison to male of similar shape and size.

4. Menstrual cycle: Females should not perform strenuous and vigorous works during
menstrual cycle whereas in males there is no such type of cycle.

8.2 Physiological factor determining component of Physical Fitness

Physiological factors for determining strength.

The following are the factors for determining strength:

1. Muscle composition: There are two types of fibres in muscles i.e. fast twitch fibres and
slow twitch fibres. The muscles which consist of more percentage of fast twitch fibres
will produce more strength.

2. Size of the muscle: The strength of an individual depends on the size of muscle. As
larger and bigger muscle produce more force and with the help of different methods
of strength training , the size of the muscle can be increased.

3. Body weight: there is a positive relation between body weight and strength. The
individuals who are heavier are stronger than the individuals who are lighter in
weight.

Physiological factors for determining speed.
The following are the factors for determining speed:

1. Muscle composition: The muscles which consist of more percentage of fast twitch
fibres contract with more speed and produce a greater speed. Different muscles of the
body have different percentage of fast twitch fibers.

2. Explosive strength: It depends on the shape, size and coordination of muscles. For
very quick and explosive movement, explosive strength is required. The related
proportion of fast twitch fibres and slow twitch fibres determines the maximum
possible speed with which the muscle can contract.

3.Flexibility: It also determines the speed. Good flexibility allows maximum range of
movements and also enables complete utilization of explosive strength.

4. Biochemical reserves and metabolic power: muscles requires more amount of energy
and high rate of consumption for maximum speed performance. For this purpose the
stores of ATP & CP in the muscles should be enough. If the store is less, the working
process of the muscles slows down after short time.

Physiological factors for determining flexibility.
The physiological factors for determining flexibility are:

1. Muscle strength: Flexibility depends on the level of strength. Weak muscles can
become a limiting factor for achieving higher range of movement. Muscle strength is
highly trainable therefore, it can enhance flexibility.

2. Joint structure: There are several different types of joints in human body. Some of the
joints intrinsically have a greater range of motion. eg. the ball and socket joint of the
shoulder has the greatest range of motion.

3. Age and gender: flexibility decreases with the advancement of age. It can be enhanced
with the help of training. Gender also determines the flexibility as females tends to be
more flexible than males.

4. Internal environment:The internal environment of an athlete influences the
flexibility. If internal temperature increases flexibility increases; if decreases
flexibility decreases.

5. Previous injury: Injuries to connective tissues and muscles ultimately lead to reduced
flexibility

Physiological factors determining endurance.

1. Aerobic capacity:-
Aerobic capacity is the a measure of the ability of the heart and lungs to get oxygen to the muscles. An example of aerobic capacity is body's ability to take in and use oxygen to improve aerobic performance.

2. Oxygen Uptake:- It is highest rate at which oxygen can be taken up and consumed by the
heart per minute.

3. Cardiac Output:- The cardiac output is simply the amount of blood pumped by the heart per
minute.

Effect of exercise on the cardiovascular system

*(i) Cardiac output is the amount of blood pumped by the heart in 1 min. This increases

directly with increasing exercise intensity.

*(ìì) The heart rate increases from a resting rate of 72 beats / min to 150 beats / min or even
more.

(ííi) The stroke volume, meaning the amount of blood pumped into the Aorta with every
heartbeat,increases from a resting volume of 70-90 mL to 100-120 mL per beat.

(ìv) Exercise increases the plasma volume of blood by 12 Op :, but total blood volume may
reduce slightly.

(V) Blood flow is redistributed with more blood going to the muscles, heart and skin, while
blood in the kidneys and abdomen is reduced.

*(vì) Blood pressure increases due to exercise because there is more blood flowing in the
blood vessels.

Effects of exercise on muscular system.

*1. Size and shape of muscle changes: Regular exercise changes the shape and size of the

muscle. Cells of the muscles are enlarged which change the shape and size of the
muscle.

*2. Correct body posture; regular exercise keeps the correct posture of the body by
strengthening the muscles. The postural deformities do not occur. If there is any
physical deformity, then it is removed.

*3. Food storage increases: the capacity of food storage in body can be enhanced by doing
regular exercises. This stored food can be utilized immediately when required.

4. Toned muscles: regular exercise helps in keeping the muscles in toned position.
Muscles become firm and maintain a slight, a steady pull on the attachments.

*5. Efficient movement of muscles: The movement of muscles becomes efficient and
smooth. The movements during different activities become attractive.

6. Change in connective tissues: the connective tissues become powerful. These tissues
can bear the stress of strenuous activity.

Effects of exercise on respiratory system.

1. Increase in Tidal air capacity: by doing regular exercise it has been noted that there is
an increase in the amount of tidal air capacity of an individual.

*2. Decrease in rate of respiration: When a beginner starts exercising his rate of
respiration increases. But when the same individual perform exercise daily, his rate
of respiration decreases in comparison to the beginner at rest.

*3. Strong will power: regular exercise increases the will power of an individual. As
pranayama, the specific exercise for lungs increases the will power of the doer.

*4. Unused alveolus becomes active : Regular exercise activates the unused alveolus
because much amount of oxygen is required in vigorous activities of daily routine.
The passive alveolus become active.

5. Increase in vital air capacity: The capacity of vital air capacity varies from 3500cc to
4500cc in a normal adult. Due to regular exercise its capacity increases upto 5500cc.
Ageing is the process of becoming older. It represents the accumulation of changes in a
person over time. Ageing in humans refers to a multidimensional process of physical,
psychological, and social change.

Role of regular exercise on ageing process

- Reduce the loss of muscle mass

- Helps in maintaining bone density
- Reduce risk of cardio-vascular diseases
- Improve flexibility & strength
- Enhance the lung capacity
- Slowdown the brain ageing
- Improve the mental & social health
- Reduce the risk of age-linked diseases

12.1 Strength , its types and method of development :

Strength is the ability to overcome resistance or to act against resistance.

a) Maximum Strength:- It is the ability to overcome or to act against resistance. It is the
maximum force which is applied by the muscles to perform any certain activity. For
developing maximum strength intensity is high and repetitions are less.

b) Explosive Strength: It is a combination of strength and speed abilities. It is the ability to
overcome resistance with high speed. For developing explosive strength, intensity is sub
maximum and repetitions are performed as fast as possible.

c) Strength Endurance: It is the ability to overcome resistance or to act against resistance
under conditions of fatigue.

Method of development
1. ISOMETRIC EXERCISE :
Isometric exercises are those exercises, which are not visible. In fact there are no direct
movements, hence they can‘t be observed. In these exercises, work is performed but is not
seen directly. In these exercises, a group of muscles carry out tension against the other group
of muscles. For example, pushing against a sturdy wall.

2. ISOTONIC EXERCISE :
The literal meaning of the word isotonic is constant tension i.e., iso means constant ant tonic
means tension. In this exercise the length of muscles changes (shortens or lengthens) during
action along with tension in them. Isotonic exercise is a form of active exercise in which
muscles contract and cause movement. There is no significant change in resistance
throughout the movement, so the force of contraction remains constant. Such exercise
greatly enhances joint mobility and helps improve muscle strength and tone.

3. ISOKINETIC EXERCISE :
These exercise are performed on specially designed machines.These exercies are developed
by Perrine in 1968. In these exercise, contraction of muscles applies maximum force only at a
particular angle of its range of movement, wheras, in isokinetic exercise contraction of force
throughout the complete range of movement. These exercie involve a specific type of muscle
contraction which is not involved in games and sports like rowing and swimming.

12.2 Speed, its types and method of development :

Speed is the rate of motion, or the rate of change of position. It is expressed as distance
moved per unit of time. Speed is measured in the same physical units of measurement as
velocity. Speed is defined as the ability of an individual to perform similar movements
consecutively at Fastest rate, e.g., short distance races like 100 metres and 200 metres. Speed
as the capacity of an individual to perform successive movement of the same pattern at a fast
rate.

Types of Speed:

1) Movement speed: It is the ability to do a movement in minimum time. It depends upon
technique, explosive strength, flexibility and coordinative abilities.

2) Locomotor ability: It is the ability to maintain maximum speed for a maximum time or
distance. Events like 100mt, 200 mt, 400mt requires this ability.

3) Speed Endurance: Speed endurance is the ability to perform movements with high speed
under conditions of fatigue. This depends upon technique, local muscular endurance and
lactic acid tolerance ability.

Methods for improving speed :

1) Acceleration runs- It is the ability to increase speed from jogging to running and finally
sprinting. It depends on explosive strength, frequency of movement & technique. To attain
maximum speed from a stationary position this is practised after learning proper technique.

2) pace run or races- A competitive pace race is a timed race in which the objective is not to
finish in the least time, but to finish within the prescribed time and in the best physical
condition. In some races, the prescribed time is very narrowly defined and the winner is the
competitor who finishes closest to the prescribed time. Complete recovery is ensured
between two repetitions. This means to running the whole distance of a race at a constant
speed. In this the athlete runs the race with uniform speed.

12.3 Flexibility, its types and method of development :

Flexibility is the range of movement of the joints of a sports person.

Following are the stretching ways for flexibility development:

Active stretching is where you are taking the muscle beyond its normal range of motion
with assistance (PNF or with the help of a partner)
Passive stretching allows the muscles and tendons to stretch naturally without the use of
additional forces acting on the muscle/tendon. The flexibility gains are not as great with
passive stretching as it is with active stretching.

1. Static stretching is a technique where the muscle is slowly stretched and then held in
the stretched position for several seconds. This type of stretching allows the muscle to be
relaxed so that a greater length can be achieved. It is the most frequently.

2. Dynamic stretching is a technique that many athletes should be accustomed to. This type
of stretching can be in the form of leg swing walks or carioca just to name a few. This is a
great way for teens to work on their flexibility in a fun way. It allows them to be active and it
can be done with groups and teas. This type of stretching goes for more than two seconds
and is done without stopping the movement.

3. Ballistic stretching is a type of stretching, but it is not recommended for improving
flexibility. This type of stretching could lead to muscle soreness and injury because it is
possible that this technique could cause small tears in soft tissue due to the bouncing
movements that force the muscle to lengthen. Ballistic stretching due to the bouncing, could
stretch ligaments too far if the movement is not controlled.

12.4 Endurance its types and method of development :

Endurance- Endurance (also called Stamina, or Durability) is the ability of an organism to
exert itself and remain active for a long period of time, as well as its ability to resist,
withstand, recover from, and have immunity to wounds, or fatigue. In humans, it is usually
used in aerobic or anaerobic exercise.
Endurance training which is designed to
improve stamina, endurance, and overall performance. Athletes use it while they prepare for
both long and short events. People who are not athletes may utilize endurance training as a
method to get fit. It is the ability to withstand fatigue.

Types of Endurance:

1. Basic Endurance: Basis endurance is the ability to perform movements in which large
number of body muscles are involved and the activity is performed at slow pace for long
duration such as jogging, walking, slow running and swimming.

2. Speed Endurance: It is the ability to resist fatigue in activities lasting up to 45 seconds. The
event of 400 mts sprint is the most suitable example of speed endurance. This is mainly
dependent upon the power and capacity of energy production.

3. General Endurance: It is the ability to resist fatigue satisfactorily cause by different types
of activities. Activities may be aerobic or anaerobic in nature. These activities may be low or
high intensity but for longer duration.

Various methods to develop Endurance ability :

a) Continuous method- The load administered for a prolonged period of time. As the loads
are continued for a long time the intensity of running is low. It may be slow continuous, fast
continuous and varied pace method.

b) Interval type of training involves repeated efforts at are relatively faster pace, separated
by measured intervals of incomplete recovery. It is based on the principle of effort &
recovery. It can be classified into short time interval, middle time interval and long time
interval.

c) Fartlek training- Fartlek, developed in the 1930s which means "speed play" in Swedish, is
a training method that blends continuous training with interval training. The variable
intensity and continuous nature of the exercise places stress on both the aerobic and
anaerobic systems .Intensity and speed can be varied whenever the athlete wishes.
Fartlek training allows the athlete to run freely over varying distances and at varying speeds. Fartlek
allows the athlete to run at varying intensity levels over distances of their choice. This type of
training stresses both the aerobic and anaerobic energy pathways.

1. Warm up with a steady jog for approximately 7-10 minutes,
2. High intensity sprint, for aproximately 60-75 seconds,
3. Light Jog for approximately 130-150 seconds,
4. Cool down with a steady jog for 7-10 minutes,
5. Run hill or stairs,
6. Vertical jump from crouch position, 15-20 times,
7. Push-ups,
8. Sit-ups,
9. Lunges

12.5 Coordinative abilities and its types :

Coordination is the ability to repeatedly execute a sequence of movements smoothly and
accurately. This may involve the senses, muscular contractions and joint movements.
Everything that we participate in requires the ability to coordinate our limbs to achieve a
successful outcome – from walking to the more complex movements of athletic events like
the pole vault.

Basic coordination abilities:

1. Adaptive ability enables modifications of motor activity on the basis of comparison or
anticipation of new or changing conditions during performing motor activity.

2. Balance ability is understood as an ability to keep body or its parts in a relatively stable
position.

3.Combinatory ability is understood as an ability to simultaneously put partial movements
together into more complex movement structures.

4. Orientation ability is an ability to realize position of the body or its parts in space and time.

5. Rhythm ability enables to grasp and meteorically express rhythm which is externally
determined or contained in the motor activity it self.

Circuit training
In this training method in which certain exercise of various kind are performed with or
without apparatus with given dosage. It was developed by ―Adamson and Morgon‖ in 1957.
This is considered for the development of ―strength & Endurance. Circuit training method is
a scientific method which is based on over coming various exercises at once. It is meant for
to develop strength &endurance. It is an off-season training method. It is a form of body
conditioning or resistance training using high-intensity aerobics. It targets strength building
and muscular endurance. An exercise "circuit" is one completion of all prescribed exercises
in the program. When one circuit is complete, one begins the first exercise again for the next
circuit.
Benefits of circuit training.
1) It is easy and interesting method.
2) It requires short duration
3) It can be performed indoor and as well as outdoor
4) It involves the all organs of body
5) It can be easily supervised by the coach.
6)It provides an interesting atmosphere.

Topics of Syllabus :

Projectile & factors affecting projectile trajectory
Newton's laws of motion and their application in sports
Aerodynamics principles
Friction & Sports
Introduction to Axes And Plane
Types of movements ( Flexion, Extension, Abduction, Adduction)
Major muscle involved in Running , Jumping And Throwing

10.1 Projectile :

Projectile: an object thrown into the space either horizontally or at acute angle under the
action of gravity is called a projectile.
The path followed by a projectile is called it's trajectory and it is parabolic path.
Two forces act on it gravitational force and air resistance.

In the field of games and sport there are many
examples of projectiles such as putting the shot, throwing a hammer, discus and javelin in
athletics.

Factors affecting projectile trajectory :

1. Initial velocity

2. Angle of Projection : 45 degree for maximum range

3. Height of projection

4. Air resistance

5. Gravitational force :
At higher altitude gravitational force decreases so performance increases

10.2 Newton’s laws of motion and their application in the field of sports :

The three laws of motion formulated by Newton are described below

1. Law of inertia:

According to this law a body at rest will remain at rest and a body in motion
will remain in motion at the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an
external force.

There are great examples of this law in sports such as starting in rowing,
starting in sprinting, starting in throwing the hammer. Basically if an object is in motion, it
remains in motion unless something or some external force stops it. The external force may
be gravitational force, the surface of playing field or a defensive player etc.For Ex: Starting in
sprinting, starting in rowing, starting in hammer throw.

2. Law of acceleration:

According to this law, A change in motion (acceleration)
is directly proportional to
the force producing it and inversely proportional to its mass. If two unequal forces are
applied to objects of equal mass, the object that has greater force applied will move faster.
Conversely, if two equal forces are applied to objects of different masses, the lighter mass
will travel at a faster speed. eg. in hammer throw, a thrower who is stronger will throw the
hammer farther than a thrower who is less stronger.

3. Law of reaction:

According to this law ‘ For every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction.’ There are so many examples in sports where this law is applied. e.g., In swimming
a swimmer pushes the water backwards (action) and the water pushes the swimmer forward
(reaction) with the same force. In swimming, a swimmer pushes the water
backwards(action). The water pushes the swimmer forward( reaction) with the same force.

10.3 Aerodynamics :

Aerodynamics is the study of properties of moving air and the interaction between the air
and solid bodies moving between it.

The basic forces of aerodynamics are stated below:
Lift: lift is the force that pushes the object to move upward. It is the force that is the opposite
of weight.
Weight: Weight is the force generated by the gravitational force of the earth. The weight of
an object controls how strong the push has to be. A shot of 16 pounds requires more force
(push) than a javelin.
Drag: Drag is a force that tries to slow the object down. It makes hard for an object to move.
It is harder to walk through the water than through the air. It is because water causes more
drag than air.
Thrust: Thrust is a force that is the opposite of drag. Thrust is the push that moves some
objects forward.

10.4 Friction and its types:

The force acting along two surfaces in contact which oppose\ the motion of one body over the
other is called the force of friction. It is very important in sports.
When both the surfaces are smooth, the force of friction reduces to almost zero.

Three types of friction are

(i) Static Friction :
The opposing force that comes into picture when one body tends to move over
the another surface but the actual motion has not yet started.

(ii) Limiting Friction :
Limiting friction is the maximum of thing force that comes into play
when one body is just on the verge of moving over the surface of another body.

iii) Kinetic Friction :
Kinetic friction is the opposing force at comes into play when one body is
actually moving over the surface of another body.

10.5 Axes & Plane :

Plane is an imaginary, flat surface passing through the body organ or plane is the surface on
which the movement occurs.
There are following types of planes:

a) Sagittal or Medial plane:
The sagittal plane is a vertical plane passing from the rear to the
fronty, dividing the body into left and right halves. It is also known as anteroposterior plane.
Most of the sports and exercise movements that are two dimensional, such as running, long
jumping and somersault take place in this plane.

b) Frontal or Coronal plane:
the frontal plane is also vertical and passes from left to right
dividing the body into posterior to anterior halves. It is also known as coronal plane. Frontal
plane cuts the body into front and back. Movements along the frontal plane can include
cartwheel and star jumps.

c) Transverse or Horizontal plane:
The transverse plane divides the body into top and bottom
halves. In fact, it divides the body into upper and lower sections. This plane lies horizontally
that why it is also called horizontal plane. Movements along this plane can include an ice skating
spin or rotation to play a tennis shot.

An axis is a straight line around which an object rotates. Movements at the joints of human
muscoskeletal system are mainly rotational and take place about a line perpendicular to the
plane in which they occur. This line is known as axis of rotation.

There are following types of axes of rotation:

a) Sagittal axis:
The sagittal axis passes horizontally from posterior to anterior. It is formed
by the intersection of the sagittal and transverse plane. Sagittal axis passes from front to
back.

b) Frontal axis:
The frontal axis passes horizontally from left to right. It is formed by the
intersection of frontal and horizontal plane. Frontal axis passes from side to side.

c) Vertical axis:
The vertical axis passes vertically from inferior to superior. It passes straight
through the top of the head down between feet. It is formed by the intersection of sagittal
and frontal plane. It is also known as longitudinal axis. It is the longest axis.

10.6 Types of movements :

a) Flexion: Bending parts at a joint so that the angle between them decreases and parts come
closer together (bending the lower limb at the knee).

b) Extensions: Straightening parts so that the angle between them increases and parts
moves farther apart (straightening the lower limb at the knee).

c) Abduction means moving a part away from the midline (lifting the upper limb
horizontally to form a right angle with the side of the body))

d) Adduction means moving a part towards the midline ( returning the upper limb from the
horizontal position to the side of the body).

10.7 Major muscles involved in running, jumping & throwing :

The major muscles involved in running are described below:
Glutes: these muscles stabilize your hips and legs. These muscles work with hamstring
muscles and help in hip flexors.
Quads: Quads propel you forward and help straighten out the leg in front so that it can make
a good contact with the surface of ground.
Calves: these muscles give you spring in your step and at the same time these muscles act as
shock absorbers.
Hamstrings: As you move forward, the action switches to your hamstrings, the muscles at the
back of your thigh muscles. These muscles helps you in pulling the leg back behind and give
you strength to propel your body forward.
Core muscles: Strong abs and back are really important because they keep yours posture
upright and overall form good. These muscles play a significant role in running.
Biceps: biceps also play a vital role in running. Biceps maintain a bent arm and help in
swinging your arms back and forth while running.

The major muscles involved in jumping are described below:

The leg, feet and gluteus muscle groups are used in jumping.
In fact, jumping occurs in three stages.
The first stage is the preparatory stage where ankle muscles
calf muscles and soleus tense to prepare launching.
The second phase is the launch phase,
where hip extensors, the hamstrings and gluteus maximus combine and the knee extensors
extend the knees to allow the body to launch into the air.
In the last stage is the landing
phase where all the muscles embrace impact and allow the body to return to a resting
position.
The major muscles are pectorials, major, latissimus dorsi, anterior deltoid and teres major
are involved in throwing. These muscles are comparatively responsible for velocity during
the throw. The pectorials major is the large muscle in the chest and latissimus dorsi are the
large muscles on each side of the back.

Deltoid, biceps, triceps are also involved in throwing
a javelin in athletics.

7.1 Measurement of Muscular Strength – Kraus Weber Test

“Measurement is a process by which the level of performance, fitness, ability,

Knowledge, personality and skills are measured with the help of various standardTests”.

Importance of Measurement in Physical Education & Sports.
- To know about the progress
- Individual centered training program
- Helps in selection of athletes
- To study the development of athletes
- Motivation of an athlete
- To predict in advance the performance potentials
- To prepare norms and standards
- To measure current fitness status
- To achieve goals and objectives of the activity
- To conduct research

Muscular strength is the amount of force the muscle or a group of muscle can exert against
resistance for short duration as in aerobic activities

Kraus Weber Test
It is a test of minimum muscular fitness of the various muscles of the body.

The test consists of six items which indicate the level of muscular strength and flexibility of
key muscle groups. Usually the scoring of each item is graded either on pass/fail basis or a
range of scoring from zero to ten. A subject's grade of zero means that the subject has failed
in a particular test item; score ranges from one to ten are for subjects who pass these test
items.

Hans Kraus had devised these tests after Fifteen Years of close study of
individual cases. A battery by six tests was prepared. The purpose of the
tests was the measure Minimum muscle power necessary for healthy living.
Because this is a Minimum Test, one should be able to perform all six parts.
The tests are as follows:

Test 1 tests the strength of the abdominal and psoas muscles.

1. Position : Lie down on back, legs straight, feet held down, hands behind
neck. The examiner holds down the feet and the student rolls to a sitting
position.

Test 2 tests the strength of the abdominal muscles.

2. Position : Lie down on back, Knees bent, Feet held down, Hands behind
back.

Test 3 tests the strength of the psoas muscles.

3. Position : Lie on back, hands behind neck.

Action : Lift both legs up 8 to 10 inches from floor hold for a count of 10
seconds.

Test 4 tests the strength of the upper back.

4. Position Lie face down. Place small pillows under hips. Lower body held
down, hands behind neck.

Test 5 tests the strength of the lower back.

5. Position : Lie face down, Place small pillow under hips, Upper body held
down, head resting on hands.
Action : Lift upper body off floor and hold for a count of 10 seconds.

Test 6 tests the strength of the back and hamstring muscles.

6. Position : Stand feet together, knees straight.
Action : Bend slowly forward and see how close you can come and touch
the floor. If you can touch, measure distance from finger to floor. If you can
touch, hold for count of three, If you can’t touch, measure distance from
finger to floor.
The above tests are considered useful and preferable from the point of view
of equipment as well as time.

7.2 Motor Fitness Test – AAPHER

The AAHPER (American Alliance for Health, Physical Education and Recreation) youth fitness

test was formed in 1965 in United States, but was revised in 1976. This test was administered
on school students of 17 years of age.
This test consists of the following six items :
(a) Pull ups : In case of girls, the pull-ups are to
be started from a flexed arm hang. This test item judges the arm and shoulder girdle
strength.

(b) Flexed Leg situps : This test is meant to judge the efficiency of abdominal and hip flexor
muscles.

(d) Standing Long Jump : For judging the explosive power of leg muscles.

(e) 50 yard Dash or Sprint : For judging speed.

(f) 600 yard Run : For judging endurance.

Administration of Tests : These tests can be conducted in a gymnasium or out-doors. The only
apparatus required in these tests is a horizontal bar having a diameter of approximately 1½
inches for pull-ups and flexed arm hang for girls. However, arrangement has to be made for
the timing and recording of all scores with the help of timers and recorders.

Item No.1—Pull ups :
This item has to be done from a hanging position on the bar by using
the overhead grasp (with palms facing outwards). The arms and legs of a subject should be
fully extended. Form hanging position, the subject should raise his body with his arms until
his chin is placed over the bar. Then, he should lower his body to a full hanging position. In
doing so, the knees should not be bent and the pull should not be jerky or snap pull. (The
number of completed pull-ups is the score of the subject.)

Item No. 1 (Girls)—Flexed-arms hung: In this test item for girls, the subject is required to
hang from the bar with flexed arms and overhead grasp. She should raise her body to a
position where the chin is above the bar, the elbows are flexed and the chest is close to the
bar. The stopwatch is started as soon as a subject assumes such a hanging position and is
stopped when the subject‘s chin falls below the level of the bar. (The time recorded in
seconds for which a subject holds the hang position is her score)

Item No. 2—Sit-ups : For this test meant for boys and girls, the subject should lie on his or her
back with knees flexed and kept not more than 12 inches from the buttocks. The hands of
the subject should be placed at the back of the neck, fingers clasped and elbows touching the
mat. From this position, the subject should raise his or her head and elbows forward
upwards till the elbows touch the knees. This constitutes one sit-up. (The number of correctly
performed sit ups in 60 seconds from the start of the first sit-up is the score of a subject).

Item No. 3—Shuttle Run : For this test item, two parallel lines are drawn at a distance of 30
feet from each other and two blocks of wood are placed behind one of the lines. The subject
has to stand behind the other line and on the signal ―Ready‖, ―Go‖ should run to pick up
one block, run back to the starting line and place the block behind the line. He should again
turn back to pick up the second block and bring it also behind the starting line. Two such
trials are given. (The better time of the two trials to the nearest 10th of a second is the score
of the subject).

Item No. 4—Standing Long Jump : In this test, a subject is required to stand behind a take-off
line, with feet apart. He takes a jump forward by extending his bent knees and swinging the
arms forward. The best jump recorded, out of the three trials given, is the score of the
subject. (The jump should be recorded in feet and inches).

Item No. 5—50 Yard Dash : Two lines are drawn at a distance of 50 yards from each other.
The subject is made to run from the start line to the finish line and his time taken is recorded
in seconds (nearest to the tenth of a second.) This indicates his score.

Item No. 6—600 Yard Run : This run can be organized on a track, on a football field or an
open area marked for this purpose. In this test item, a subject runs a distance of 600 yards.
The subject takes a standing start from the start line. The subject may walk in between.
However, the objective is to cover the distance in the shortest time. When he crosses the
finish line, he is informed of his time. (The time taken to run the distance is recorded in
minutes and seconds).

7.3 Measurement of Cardio-Vascular Fitness-Harward Step Test/Rock Port Test

Cardiovascular fitness is the ability of an individual to strengthen the heart muscles during

continuous muscular activities in which numbers of muscles groups are used.

1. Harvard step test-
This test requires the athlete to step up and down off a gym bench for 5
minutes at a rate 30 steps/minute which measures the Aerobic fitness test.

After the workout, timing, heart rate, has to be measured.
The athlete steps up and down onto a standard gym bench once every two seconds for five
minutes (150 steps), The assistant stops the test after 5 minutes
The assistant measures the athlete's heart rate (bpm) one minute after finishing the test -
Pulse1 The assistant measures the athlete's heart rate (bpm) two minutes after finishing the
test - Pulse2 The assistant measures the athlete's heart rate (bpm) three minutes after
finishing the test - Pulse3

In the Harvard step test for cardiovascular fitness, the physical index score:-
PI=(Duration of exercise in seconds x 100) divided by 2× Sum of pulse counts in recovery

2. Rockport fitness walking test
It is based on maximum rate of oxygen consumption during exercise i.e VO2 max.
Procedure :
(i) Choose a windless day to conduct the test.
(ii) Record your weight in pounds (lbs)
(iii)Walk one mile (1609 mt) as fast as possible.
(iv) Record the time to complete the one mile walk.
(v) Immediately on finishing the walk record your heart rate (beats per minute).
(vi) Determine your Maximum Cardio-Respiratory ability (VO2) from the calculation given
below.

Calculation Procedure :
Analysis of the result is done by comparing it with the result of previous test. It is expected
that, appropriate training between each test should be done to show improvement.
The formula used to calculate
VO2 Max is : 132·853 – (0·0769 × weight) – (0·3877 × Age) + (6·315 × Gender) – (3·2649 × Time)
– (0·1565 × Heart rate)
Where :- (a) Weight is in pounds (lbs),
(b) Gender : Male = 1 and Female = 0
(c) Time is expressed in minutes and seconds,
(d) Heart rate is in beats/minute
(e) Age in years.

7.4 Rikli and jones senior citizen fitness test

The Rikli and Jones Senior Citizen Fitness Test for assessing the functional fitness of older
adults describes easy to understand and effective tests to measure aerobic fitness, strength
and flexibility using minimal and inexpensive equipment. The Individual fitness test items
involve common activities such as getting up from a chair, walking, lifting, bending and
stretching.

The tests were developed to be safe and enjoyable for older adults while still meeting
scientific standards for reliability and validity.

The tests are :-
(i) Chair Stand Test - testing lower body strength
(ìi) Arm Curl Test - testing upper body strength
(ìíì) Chair sit and Reach Test - lower body flexibility test
(ìv) Back Scratch Test - upper body flexibility test
(V) 8 Foot Up and Go Test - agility test
(vi) Walk Test (6 min) - used to assess aerobic endurance

1. Chair Stand test :
The purpose of the Chair-Stand is to measure the strength of
lower body of adults over 60 years of age. Lower body strength is important for activities
such as getting out of a chair, on the bus, out of the car, and rising up from a kneeling
position in the house or garden. The, strength of your lower body can directly affect the ease
with which you perform the activities you do every day.

Equipment: Chair without arms, Stopwatch.
Procedure: Place the chair against a wall where it will be stable. Sit in the middle of the
chair with your feet flat on the floor, shoulder width apart, back straight. Cross your arms at
the wrist and place them against your chest. The test partner will tell you when to begin and
will time you for 30 seconds, using the stopwatch. You will rise up to a full stand and sit
again as many times as you can during the 30 second interval.

2. The Arm Curl Test :
It is a test of upper body strength. The purpose of this test is to measure
upper body strength and endurance. The subject has to do as many arms curls as possible in
30 sec. This test is conducted on the dominant arm side (or stronger side)

The procedure is :
(ì) The subject sits on the chair holding the weight (8 pounds for men / 5 pounds for women) in
the hand using a suitcase grip (palm facing towards the body) with the arm in a vertically
down position beside the chair.
(ii) The upper arm is placed against the body so that only the lower arm is moving (the tester
may assist to hold the upper arm steady).
(iii) The subject curls the arm up through a full range of motion, gradually turning the palm
up.
(ìv) Then the arm is lowered through the full range of motion, gradually return to the
starting position.
The arm must be fully bent and then fully straightened at the elbow.
(V) Repeat this action as many times as possible within 30 sec.
(vì) score is the total number of controlled arm curls performed in 30 sec.

3. The sit and reach test :
This test is used to measure the flexibility of the back and leg
(hamstring muscle) It is a kind of absolute and linear test of flexibility.
Equipment: A testing box or a flexomeasure and a yardstick.
Procedure: The subject is asked to remove shoes and place his/her feet against the testing
box while sitting on the floor with straight knees. Now the subject is asked to place one hand
on top of the other so that the middle finger of both hands are together at the same length.
The subject is instructed to lean forwards and place his/her hands over the measuring scale
lying on the top of the box with its 10 inch mark coinciding with the front edge of the testing
box. Then, the subject is asked to slide his/her hands along the measuring scale as far as
possible without bouncing and to hold the farthest position for at least one second.

Score: Each subject is given three trials and the highest score nearest to an inch is recorded
and 10 inches are subtracted from the recorded reading to obtain the flexibility score which
is compared with the standards given in.

Advantages: The sit and reach test is a common test of flexibility, and is an easy and quick
test to perform. If using the standard testing procedure, there is a lot of published data to use
for comparison.

Disadvantages: Variations in arm, leg and trunk length can make comparisons between
individuals misleading. This test is specific to the range of motion and muscle and joints of
the lower back and hamstrings, and may not be relevant to other parts of the body.

4. Back scratch test :
This test is performed in standing position. Keep one hand behind the head and back over
the shoulder and reach as far as possible down middle of your back. Your palm should touch
your body and the fingers should be downwards. Then carry other arm behind your back
palm facing outward and fingers upward and reach up as far as possible trying to touch or
overlap the middle fingers of both hands. Fingers should be aligned. Measure the distance
between the tips of fingers. If the finger tips touch then score is zero, if they donot touch
measure the distance between finger tips(negative) , if they overlap than by how much (+
score).

5. Eight foot up and go test :
This test is a coordination and agility test for senior citizens.
Purpose: To assess speed, agility and balance while moving.
Equipments required: A chair with straight back( about 44 cms high) a stopwatch, cone
marker, measuring tape, and area without hinderance.
Procedure: Keep chair next to the wall and the marker, 8 feet in front of the chair. The
participant starts completely seated, with hands resting on the knees and feet flat on the
ground. On the command ‘go’ stopwatch is started and the participant stands and walk (on
running at all) as quickly as possible to and around cone and returns to the chair to sit down.
Time is noted as he sits down on the chair. Two trials are given to the participant.
Scoring: The best trial is recorded to the nearest 1/10th second.

6. Walk Test :

Procedure:
1. Start walking around the course as fast as you can but do not run.
2. Walk until 6 minutes.

Sports participation of Women in India
Special consideration (Menarche, Menstrual, Dysfunction)
Female Athletes Triad ( Osteoporosis & Amenorrhoea & Eating Disorders)
Psychological Aspects of Women Athlete
Sociological Aspects of Sports Participation

6.1 Sports participation of Women in India

For women’s participation in sports we have a look at ancient period. Regarding

participation in the first modern Olympic (1896 Athens), there was no participation of
women.
-- Women participated first time in 1900 Olympics. (22 women participated in)
-- And after 100 years in 2000 Sydney Olympics 4069 women had participated.
-- In 2008 Beijing Olympics 4637 women participated.

Participation in India
-- In 2000 karnam Malleshwari was the first woman who won bronze medal in Sydney
Olympic from India.

-- In 1984 performance of P.T. Usha was very good in Athletics.

-- In 2012 london olympics Saina Nehwal and M.C. Maricom got bronze medal.

In 2016, Rio Olympics, Sakshi Malik won bronze medal, P.V. Sandhu won silver medal where
as Deepa Karmakar opened new dimesions in gymanastics.

Over the past several decades the participation of women in sports in sports field has increased tremendously. But really, it is a
matter of regret for all of us to know that sports is such a field where gender inequality in
strongly evident. The general social environment has not only inhibited women from
participation in sports but has also criticise them when they participate. Many people
comment for women “Why don’t they stay in the kitchen where they belong”?
But Now time has changed. Women are capable of changing society. Now the ideology
suggests that women are participating in every sphere of life and proving themselves
globally.

Reasons for the low rate of sports participation by women in India
1. Gender equity & social attitude
a. No parental encouragement
b. Traditional society
c. Less motivation and inspiration
d. Women constraining other women
2. Lack of plans and initiatives for sports women by the Government
a. Male dominant culture
b. Less availability of women coaches
c. No independent games facilities for women
d. More emphasis on study
e. Less competition
3. Economic Factors
4. Social Customs and Rights
5. Low Health Consciousness
6. Stress on Academics
7. Media Coverage
8. Lack of Incentives & Career

6.2 Special consideration

Menarche is the first menstrual bleeding of the young girl (9-16 yrs.)

Menstrual dysfunction is a disorder or irregular menstrual cycle in women. It can also be
defined as “An abnormal bleeding during the menstrual cycle”.

Factors/related problems :

1. Absence of menstrual periods :- This problem may be due to eating disorder, excessive
exercise schedule, extreme level of stress and medications etc.

2. Premenstrual syndrome :- Many girls may have symptoms such as acne, backaches, Sore
breasts, headaches, constipation, depression, irritability and feeling anxious etc.
These symptoms may be faced by female before their menstruation.

3. Abnormal Cramps :- These cramps are caused by a chemical in the body that makes the
muscles in the uterus contract.

4. Heavy or prolonged peroid :- It is common for a girl’s menstrual period to be heavier on
some days than others.

5. Irregular menstrual period :- The regular menstrual cycle for a female is 28 days.
However, it may very from 21 to 35 days.

6. Delay in the first menstrual period.

6.3 Female athlete triad

Female athlete triad is a syndrome in which eating disorders, oesteoporosis and
amenorrhea, eating disorders effect adversely on the body.

1. Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder in which reduction in bone mass may cause fracture.

Causes
a. Insufficient calcium in diet.
b. Eating disorder
c. Bad eathing habits

2. Amenorrhea
Amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstrual periods. It may be either primary
meaning woman has never developed menstrual periods) or secondary (absence of
menstrual periods in a woman who was previously menstruating).

There are many reasons responsible for amenorrhea including
extensive exercise and improper diet.
Exercising intensively and not consuming enough calories can lead to decreases in hormones that result in a girl's periods becoming irregular or stopping altogether.

Amenorrhoea:- Absence of menstrual period for more than 6 months.

3. Eating disorders
a. Anorexia nervosa
In this eating disorder the female athlete only think about food, dieting, and body weight all
the time. They have distorted body structure. Other individuals usually feel them that are

becoming thin but they do not believe this. In front of the mirror they see themselves obese.

b. Bulimia nervosa
In this eating disorder the female eats excessive amount of food and then vomits it in order
not to gain weight. In this disorder, an individual binges on food and feels a loss of control.
Then to prevent weight gain try to vomit the food.

6.4 Psychological aspects of women athlete

1. More goal oriented
2. Psychological stronger
3. Less aggressive
4. Fast adaptation
5. Image conscious
6. Poise & confidence

6.5 Sociological aspects of women athlete

1. Family - Family is a very significant social factor, which is generally responsible for early
sports socialization. The socializing process at home for both sex is different. Males usually
get more support and encouragement to get involved in sports activities. They are further
provided with more facilities to encourage and support participation in sports and games.
However female usually are not encouraged to get involved in sports activities.

2. School - The culture of sports is generated in schools and reputation of school is dependent
on the success of male and females as sports personalities. Lots of schools do not have girl
teams as male teams (soccer/ wrestling/boxing etc/) They do not have proper arrangements
for coaches and sports facilities for females.

3. Culture - Cultural beliefs have great impact on the involvement of females in sports. Many
cultures still firmly believe that women’s place is in the kitchen. The participation in the
sports masculinises females are viewed negatively.

4. Attitude and prejudices - Attitude and prejudices of society play significant role in sports
participation; some females avoid certain sports for fear of being perceived masculine. Due
to such attitude and prejudices of society regarding sexuality inhibit females to participate.

5. Religious faith discourages woman participation in sports

6. Illiteracy in society

7. Biological inferiority

8. Male dominance

9. Lesser concentration to develop woman sports equipment & facilities

10. Less competitive spectators for woman sports

Advantages & disadvantages of weight training
Concept & advantages of Correct Posture
Causes of Bad Posture
Common Postural Deformities - Knock Knee; Flat Foot; Round Shoulders; Lordosis, Kyphosis, Bow Legs and Scolioses

5.1 Motor development & factors affecting it :

Motor Development refers to the development of a child’s Bone,
muscles and ability to move around and manipulate his/her environment.

There are three stages of motor development in children as

given below infancy or infancy hood , early childhood & later childhood

It is of two types:
1. Gross motor development involves the development of large muscles in the child‘s body
such as sitting, walking, running etc.

2. Fine motor development involves development of small muscles of the body, especially
during the small movements of the fingers and hands eg. Holding of javelin, discus and pole,
catching a cricket ball etc.

Factors affecting motor development :

1. Nutrition: - Nutritious food promotes good motor development. Sensory motor
development is dependent upon nutrition that the child gets to a great extent. Children get
stronger and development is good if they get nutritious food.

2. Immunization: - If mother and child both are immunized at a proper time it leads to good
sensory motor development.

3. Environment: - Encouragement, love and security help the child to take risk to explore
fearlessly and to know more about environment which leads to a better sensory
development.

More Factors affecting Motor Development :
l. Heredity
2. Nutrition
3. Sleep
4. Immunization
5. Environment
6. Stimulation and Interaction
7. Opportunities
8. Training and Practice
9. Recreation

Types of Disorder, its cause & nature (ADHD, SPD, ASD, ODD, OCD)
Disability Etiquettes
Advantage of Physical Activities for children with special needs
Strategies to make Physical Activities assessable for children with special need.

4.1 Concept of Disability & Disorder

Concept of Disability:

Disability is an impairment that may be cognitive, developmental,

intellectual, mental, physical etc. It affects the everyday activities of the individual to a
considerable amount. It may be present in an individual from birth or occur during one’s
lifetime. Disability has different meanings in different societies of the world. Disability is an
injury that restricts the functions or movements of an individual. It is the consequence of an
impairment caused to an individual. Disability is a medical condition which does not permit
an individual to perform any activity or movement in a normal way.

Concept of Disorder:
Disorder is usually used for mental disabilities. Disorder is any
ailment that disturbs the health of an individual. Disorder creates hindrance in an
individual’s performance and reduces his efficiency. In the beginning disorder seems to be
ordinary but they usually grow or spread in a harmful manner in an individual. Most
probably, a disorder can not be detected on time, as a result of which, a simple disorder is
changed into a disability. A disorder disrupts the normal functioning of an individual.

4.2 Types of disability

1. Cognitive Disability:
It is a neurological disorder that creates hindrances or obstruction for
an individual to store, process and produce information. This ability can affect an
individual’s ability or capability to read, compute, speak and write.

The individual’s, who have this type of disability, usually have following symptoms:

i) Memory disorder: An individual who has auditory problems or difficulty in remembering
something that he heard, said or saw before sometime.

ii) Hyperactivity: An individual with cognitive disability may not have attention for a long
period. He finds it difficult to stay at one place.

iii) Dyslexia: An individual with cognitive disability may exhibit dyslexia. It means he may
have difficulty in writing, reading, speaking, etc.

2. Intellectual disability:
It is a disability characterized by significant limitations both in
intellectual functioning (reasoning, learning, problem solving) and in adaptive behavior,
which covers a range of everyday social and practical skills. Indeed, this disability is related
to the individual’s thought process, communication, money, learning, problem solving and
judgment.

3. Physical disability:
It is a limitation on individual’s physical functioning, mobility, dexterity
or stamina. Other impairments such as respiratory disorders, blindness, epilepsy and steep
disorders, which limit other facets of daily living are also included in physical disabilities.
Physical disability may either be motor deficiency or sensory impairment.

Causes of disability
a) Genetic cause:
Abnormalities in genes and genetic inheritance cause intellectual
disability in children. Sometimes, diseases, illness and over exposure to x-rays may cause
genetic disorder.

b) Mental health problems:
Problems such as depression, bipolar disorder etc. may lead to
disability. They tend to be some of the most misunderstood disabilities.

c) Accidents:
Accidents may occur anywhere, anytime and to anyone. These accidents may
happen at workplace, on the roads or in the air. These accidents may lead to disability.

4.3 Types of disorders

a) Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
b) Sensory processing disorder (SPD)
c) Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
d) Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD)
e) Obsessive compulsive disorder (OSD)

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD):
it is a group of behavioral symptoms
that include inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. It is medical conditions that
affects how well can someone sit still, focus and pay attention. The individual with ADHD
have some problems focusing in some activities. This type of disorder is found more common
in boys than in girls.

The various causes of ADHD are as follows:

a) Genetic factors: It is not a disorder that passed socially. Studies shows that parents,
siblings, and children of people with ADHD may be up to five times more likely to have the
disorder than the people who are not related to someone with ADHD.

b) Brain injuries: When a baby’s brain is damaged before or after birth this could make the
baby more likely to develop ADHD later on.

c) Low birth weight: It is observed that children with low birth weight are more likely to
develop ADHD.

d) Trauma and brain diseases: Trauma during birth and brain diseases may lead to develop
ADHD.

e) Diet: There are a number of evidences which shows that taking a particular type of food
or food additives play a significant role in causing ADHD.

Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) :
It is a condition in which the brain has difficulty in receiving
and responding to the information that comes in through senses. It refers to the way the
nervous system receives messages from the senses and then turns them into proper motor
and behavioral responses. Sensory Processing Disorder may affect one sense such as touch,
sight, taste or movement. It may also affect multiple senses. In fact, the person may scream
when touched or may vomit or dive under the table after hearing the sound of a leaf blower
outside the window.

The various causes of SPD are as follows:

a) Genetic Factor: Studies indicate that children born to adults who have Autism Spectrum
Disorder (ASD) may be at a higher risk to develop SPD. Scientists allude that the cause of SPD
are coded into child’s genetic material.

b) Low birth weight: It is also considered one of the causes of sensory processing disorder.

c) Environmental factors: Usually, children who are adopted often experiences sensory
processing disorder due to some restrictions in their early lives or poor parental care.
Autism Spectrum Disorder is a disorder that affects development. Here, the word spectrum
refers to the range of symptoms and their severity. Generally, the young children with ASD
have difficulties with communication, language, social skill and behavior. In other words,

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) :
It is characterized by social interaction difficulties, communication
challenges and a tendency to engage in repetitive behavior.

The various causes of Autism Spectrum Disorder are as follows:

a) Genetic factors: It seems to play a very significant role. The first thing is that something
happens at the time of fetal development that alters genes and secondly child inherits
problematic genes from one or both the parents.

b) Environmental factors: It is not certain that environment causes ASD. But mothers
exposed to high level of pesticides and air pollution may also be at a higher risk of having a
child with ASD.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD):
It is a set or group of behavioral disorders called disruptive
behavior disorders. It is called by this name because children with such disorders always
tend to disrupt those around them.
Physicians define this disorder as a pattern of disobedient, hostile and defiant behavior
directed toward authority figures. The individuals affected by this disorder usually rebel,
argue with adults, refuse to obey and are obstinate.

The various causes of Oppositional Defiant Disorder are as follows:

a) Biological or Genetic factors: Children are more susceptible of developing ODD if they
have a parent with a history of ADHD or ODD.

b) Physical factors: the presence of ODD traits has been linked to the existence of abnormal
amounts of some brain chemicals. These brain chemicals, known as neurotransmitters, keep
the brain chemicals themselves balance properly.

c) Psychological factors: Children may develop ODD if they don’t have good relation with
parents or have neglectful parents or have inability to develop social relationship.

d) Social factors: Oppositional Defiant Disorder may be due to inconsistent discipline,
divorce, poverty, chaotic environment I the family and exposure to violence.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD):
It is a mental health disorder that affects people of all ages
and walks of life. It occurs when an individual gets caught in a cycle of obsessions and
compulsions. It can be said that persons with OCD are plagued to constant thoughts of fears
that cause them to perform rituals or routines.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a type of mental disorder that causes repeated u unwanted
thoughts. To get rid of unwanted thoughts, he/she performs the same task/activity again and
again.

Causes of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder:
The exact cause of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is still unknown. Research studies suggest that there may be a problem with the
way one part of the brain sends information to another part. Serotonin is the chemical in the
brain that sends messages from one part to another. Insufficiency of serotonin may help in
causing Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

4.4 Disability Etiquettes :

When talking with a person with a disability, speak directly to that person rather than through a companion or sign language interpreter.
When introduced to a person with a disability, it is appropriate to offer to shake hands. People with limited hand use or who wear an artificial limb can usually shake hands. (Shaking hands with the left hand is an acceptable greeting.)
When meeting a person who is visually impaired, always identify yourself and others who may be with you. When conversing in a group, remember to identify the person to whom you are speaking.
If you offer assistance, wait until the offer is accepted. Then listen to or ask for instructions.
Treat adults as adults. Address people who have disabilities by their first names only when extending the same familiarity to all others. (Never patronize people who use wheelchairs by patting them on the head or shoulder.)
Leaning on or hanging on to a person’s wheelchair is similar to leaning on hanging on to a person and is generally considered annoying. The chair is part of the personal body space of the person who uses it.
Listen attentively when you’re talking with a person who has difficulty speaking. Be patient and wait for the person to finish, rather than correcting or speaking for the person. If necessary, ask short questions that require short answers, a nod or shake of the head. Never pretend to understand if you are having difficulty doing so. Instead, repeat what you have understood and allow the person to respond. The response will clue you in and guide your understanding.
When speaking with a person who uses a wheelchair or a person who uses crutches, place yourself at eye level in front of the person to facilitate the conversation.
To get the attention of a person who is deaf, tap the person on the shoulder or wave your hand. Look directly at the person and speak clearly, slowly, and expressively to determine if the person can read your lips. Not all people who are deaf can read lips. For those who do lip read, be sensitive to their needs by placing yourself so that you face the light source and keep hands, cigarettes and food away from your mouth when speaking.
Relax. Don’t be embarrassed if you happen to use accepted, common expressions such as “See you later,” or “Did you hear about that?” that seems to relate to a person’s disability. Don’t be afraid to ask questions when you’re unsure of what to do.

4.5 Advantages of physical activities for children with Special needs

a) Reduced level of anxiety, stress and depression: physical activities may help in
reducing the level of anxiety, stress and depression of children with disabilities.

b) Improved social interaction: physical activities provide ample opportunities for
improving the social interaction among children with special needs. Social relations are
developed during involvement in physical activities.

c) Better emotional and psychological health: physical activities are beneficial for children
with special needs because such activities improve psychological and emotional health.

d) Cognitive benefits: physical activities lead to cognitive skill improvement in children
with disabilities. These activities allow them to discover and access strengths that cannot be
challenged in the classroom setting.

4.6 Strategies to make physical activities accessible for children with special needs

a) Medical check-up: if we want to make physical activities accessible for the children with
special needs, we need to understand the type of disabilities of children and for this purpose
complete medical check-up of the children is required. Because without complete medical
check-up, the teachers of physical education cannot come to know about the type of
disability child is facing.

b) Activities based on interests: Physical activities must be based on interest, aptitudes,
abilities, previous experience and limitations of children with special needs. The teachers of
physical education should have deep knowledge of limitations, interest and aptitudes of
children.

c) Different instructional strategies: A variety of different instructional strategies such as
verbal, visual and peer teaching should be used for performing various types of physical
activities. By this children get opportunity to learn by their own and become independent.

d) Modification of rules: Rules can be modified according to the needs of the children. They
can be provided extra time or attempt to perform a physical activity.

e) Specific environment: For special needs children the area should be limited. In case of
children who have autism, they must be provided specific area because they may need some
time to relax.

2.1 Balanced diet and Nutrition :

A diet which contains the proper amount of each nutrient, i.e. like carbohydrate, fat, protein
etc is called Balanced Diet. A diet which consists of all the essential food constituents’ viz.
protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and water in correct proportion is called
balanced diet. A balanced diet contains sufficient amounts of fiber and the various nutrients
(carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, and minerals) to ensure good health. Food should
also provide the appropriate amount of energy and adequate amounts of water.

A. Balanced Diet: - A complete food, a diet contains adequate amounts of all the
necessary nutrients required for proper growth & maintenance of body.

B. Nutrition: - It is the process of obtaining & consuming food or breaking down food &
substances taken in by the mouth to use for energy in the body.

C. Nutrients: - The energic food in our diet consists of various types of essential chemicals
for our body termed as nutrients: - e.g. Protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins & minerals.

Goals of nutrition :

(i) stay hydrated

(ii) provide immediate fuel
(ììí) boost performance
(ív) preserve muscle and
(v) improve recovery.

Macro nutrients

Macronutrients mainly include carbohydrates, proteins and fats and also water which are

required in large quantities and their main function being the release of energy in body.

Macronutrients include Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, and Nitrogen.

Micro nutrients

Micronutrients mainly comprise vitamins and minerals which are required in minute
quantities. However, both macro nutrients as well as micro nutrients are essential. Micro
nutrients are chlorine, iron, manganese, zinc, boron, sodium, copper, molybdenum and
nickel.

2.2 Non-Nutritive and Nutritive Components of Diet

Nutritive components of diet :

CARBOHYDRATES-
Carbohydrates are needed to provide energy during exercise.
Carbohydrates are stored mostly in the muscles and liver. Complex carbohydrates are found
in foods such as pasta, bagels, whole grain breads, and rice. They provide energy, fiber,
vitamins, and minerals. These foods are low in fat. Simple sugars, such as soft drinks, jams
and jellies, and candy provide a lot of calories, but they do not provide vitamins, minerals,
and other nutrients.

PROTEIN-
Protein is important for muscle growth and to repair body tissues. Protein can also
be used by the body for energy, but only after carbohydrate stores have been used up. Only
strength training and exercise will change muscle. Athletes, even body builders, need only a
little bit of extra protein to support muscle growth. Athletes can easily meet this increased
need by eating more total calories (eating more food).

Fat-
It provides the highest concentration of energy of all the nutrients. One gram of fat
equals nine calories. One pound of stored fat provides approximately 3,600 calories of
energy. Saturated fats are found primarily in animal sources like meat, egg yolks, yogurt,
cheese, butter, milk. This type of fat is often solid at room temperature. Unsaturated fats
include monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are typically found in plant food
sources and are usually liquid at room temperature.

Vitamin-
A well-planned and nutritionally adequate diet should meet an athlete‘s vitamin
and mineral needs. Supplements will only be of any benefit if your diet is inadequate or you
have a diagnosed deficiency, such as an iron or calcium deficiency. Use of vitamin and
mineral supplements is potentially dangerous and they should not be taken without the
advice of a qualified health professional.

Minerals: -
Mineral are very essential in our diet. Four percent of our body weight is made
up minerals. These are required for healthy teeth, bones and muscles. It is also used by body
for various activities such as transmission of nerve, impulses formation of hormones and
maintenance of heart beat etc.

Macro Minerals: -
a) Calcium: Calcium is among the top macro-minerals in terms of growth
and development of our bones and teeth. It helps in blood clotting. Its deficiency may cause
rickets. The sources are cheese, milk, orange, juice, eggs, green leafy vegetables and cereals.

b) Potassium: Potassium is one of the most required minerals in diet. It is helpful in keeping
the nervous system and muscular system fir and active all the time. it helps in maintaining
the amount of water in blood and tissues. Its main sources are banana, tomatoes, green leafy
vegetables, beans etc.

c) Sodium: It helps in muscular activities. It also helps in transmission of nerve impulses.
The sources are table salts, pickles and butter etc.

d) Magnesium: It repairs and maintains body cells. It is found in meat, brown rice, beans
and whole grains etc.

e) Phosphorus: Phosphorus helps in the formation of bone and teeth. It keeps the muscles and
nerve activities normal. The sources are egg, fish, liver, milk, and unpolished rice etc.

Micro Minerals:
a) Iodine: It produces the hormones for the thyroid gland. It is also
significant for proper growth and development. Lack of iodine can cause goiter (swollen
thyroid gland) and mental retardation. The sources are iodized salt, fish and sea food.

b) Iron: it is essential in the production of hemoglobin. Its deficiency causes anemia. The
sources are meat, egg, dry fruits, spinach banana and greet leaf vegetables.

c) Chromium: it is essential in the production of hemoglobin. Its deficiency may cause
diabetes. The sources are soya beans, black gram, carrot, tomato, groundnuts, bajra and
barley.

Non nutritive components of diet :

a) Water

b) Roughage
c) Artificial sweeteners
d) Preservatives
e) Plant products

Fibre or roughage has no nutritive value. It is undigested part of the food or it can be said
that it cannot be digested by human intestinal tract. It consists of water and improves
intestinal function by adding bulk to the food. It helps the individual to satisfy the appetite. It
prevents constipation.

2.3 Eating for weight control :-

A healthy weight is a weight that lowers your risk for health problems, generally body
mass index (BMI) and waist size are good ways to achieve healthy weight.

Methods to calculate BMI = Weight in Kg/(Height in m)

Category BMI
Under Weight
Normal Weight
Over Weight
Obesity Class I
Obesity Class II
Obesity class III

A healthy weight is considered to be one that is between 19-25 BMI. If the BMI is between 25-
29 an adult is considered overweight and if it is above 30, the person is considered to be
obese.
Since, 3500 calories equals both one equals about one pound of fat, if you cut 500 calories
from your typical diet each day, you will lose one pound weight a week.

Here are some useful tips for weight control with proper eating:

a. Avoid common pitfalls: diet, especially fat diets or quick fix pills and plans, often set you
up for failure. Prepare a plan that is more realistic.

b. Put a stop to emotional eating: We don’t always eat simply to satisfy hunger. All too
often, we turn to food for comfort and stress relief. When this happens, we frequently pack
on pounds.

c. Tune in what you eat : Do not eat while at your desk or working, and in front of the TV
screen. The result is that we consume much more than we need, often without realizing it.
Counter this tendency by practicing “mindful” eating: pay attention to what you eat, savor
each bite, and choose foods that are both nourishing and enjoyable

d. Fill up with fruit, veggies and fibre: to lose weight, you have to eat fewer calories. But
that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to eat less food. You an fill up while on a diet, as long
as you choose your foods wisely.

e. Indulge without overindulging: Do not avoid some type of food (ice cream or cookies or
chips) completely. Instead of denying yourself the unhealthy foods you love, simply eat them
less often.

f. Take charge of your food environment: Set yourself up for success by taking charge of
your off environment: when you eat and what foods are available.

g. Make healthy lifestyle changes: You can support your dieting efforts by making healthy
lifestyle choices .

Factors to control body weight :

Balanced diet
Drinks lots of water
Eating lot of fibrous food
Regular Medical Checkup
Avoid Fats
Medicine only by doctors advice
Physical Activity
Avoid Drinking
Avoid junk food
Meals in small shifts
Follow Hygenic Habits
Do not Dieting
Never try sliming pills
Avoid over eating
Balancing the intakes of calories and expenditure of calories.

Food myths:

a. Eggs increases cholesterol level so avoid them: There is no doubt that eggs are good source
of health. An egg provides you various nutrients. It is as per daily requirements of
cholesterol by our bodies. So, if you take one egg daily there is no problem of cholesterol
level.

b. Drinking while eating makes you fat: The actual fact behind this misconception is that
enzymes and their digestive juices will be diluted by drinking water while eating which
slows down your digestion which may lead to excess body fat.

(i) Myth: Low fat or No fat diet are good.

down on salivated fat eating un saturated fats.
(ii) Myth: Dieting or Fasting may loose weight.

term burns off fat whereas crash dieting or fasting not only removes fat but who leans
muscles.

(iii) Myth: Food eaten late night is more fattening.
Fact: It doesn’t make much change.

(iv) Myth: Low fat milk has less calcium that full fat milk.
Fact :- Skimmed and semi skimmed actually have more calcium because it is in watery part
and not in creamy part of milk.

(v) Myth: Vegetarian cannot build muscles.
Fact: Vegetarian can built muscles as meat eaters by getting their proteins from vegetables
such as cheese nuts pulses. Etc.

(vi) Myth: Healthy food is expensive.
Fact: Tinned, stored, packed food is expensive. Whereas local & seasonal food is inexpensive.

PITFALL OF DIETING:

An individual who is overweight wants to reduce weight they starve for reducing weight
many times skip meals to lose weight, sometimes take slimming pills.

Extreme Reduction of Calories.
Restriction on some nutrients
Skipping meals
Intake of calories through drinking
Under estimating the calories.
Intake of tabelled foods.
Not preferring physical activities.
low energy diet.
Taking less liquids
Starving

Food Intolerance:

Food intolerance is that when a person has difficulty in digesting a particular food.

Symptoms : Nausea, Vomiting, Pain in joints, headache and rashes on skin, Diarrhea,
sweating, palpitations, burning sensations on the skin stomach.

Food Intolerance means the individual elements of certain foods that can not be properly
processed and absorbed by our digestive system. The main cause of food intolerance is the
complete absence of enzymes responsible for breaking down or absorbing the food elements.
Food intolerance can cause nausea, stomach pain, diarhhoea, vomiting, gas
cramps,heartburn, headaches, irritability, etc.

Causes : Absence of activity of enzymes responsible for breaking down the food elements.
These are usually innate sometimes diet related or due to illness.

2.4 Sports Nutrition (Fluid & Meal in take, pre, during and post Competition)

Nutrition before competition:
At least a week before the competition sportsperson
should take complex carbohydrate food which usually helps in increasing glycogen store.
The fuel for the muscle is usually provided in meals 3-4 days prior to the competition. The
diet should depend on the intensity of the activity. The diet should be rich carbohydrate, low
in fat and protein. Two hours before the competition a high carbohydrate energy drink can
be considered sufficient.

Nutrition during competition:
It is important to stay hydrated and maintain sugar level so
that sportsperson may not undergo fatigue. If the duration of the competition is more than
60 mins than ½ to 1 cup carbohydrate drink after 10-20 mins and if the duration is less than
60 mins than carbohydrate drink after every 20-30 mins.

Nutrition after competition:
After competition it is important to recover properly , so the
first preference should be given to replacement of fluid loss and this can be easily done by
the intake of water or replacement drink. Meals after competition should be taken within 2
hours. For best glycogen restoration 100-200 grams of carbohydrate along with lean protein
like meat or chicken should be taken. It will help in building, maintaining, and repairing of
muscles. Atleast 20 gms of protein is required after completion for complete recovery.

and each team plays with every other team twice if it is a double league tournament.

Cyclic method:
In cyclic method, If the number of teams is in even number, the team number 1 is fixed on
the top of right hand side and then other team numbers in ascending order consecutively
downward and then upward on the left hand side and then from the next round teams will
rotate in clockwise direction. If the number of teams is odd then the bye is fixed on the top of
right hand side and rest of the procedure will remain same. If the number of team is even
number than number of rounds will be (N-1). If the number of teams is odd number then
number of rounds will be equal to number of teams.

(b) Cyclic Method : In cyclic method, if the number of teams is even, the team number 1 is
fixed on the top of right hand side and other teams in ascending order consecutively
downward and then upward on the left side and rotate them clockwise. If the number of
teams is odd, then bye is fixed on top right side and the rest procedure remains same. The
number of rounds in case of even number of teams will be n -1, where n = number of teams.
The number of rounds in case of odd number of teams will be n, where n = number of teams.

Example 1. Draw a fixture of 6 teams on league basis according to cyclic method.
Solution: Total number of teams = 6
Total number of matches
Number of rounds = n-1 = 6-1 = 5 rounds.

(a) Stair-case Method: In stair-case method, the fixtures are made just like a ladder or a
stair- case. In this method, no bye is given to any team and there is no problem of even or
odd number of teams.

maximum speed then it has more K.E. and when touch the ground, it has no K.E.
(2)The kinetic energy also depends on the mass of the objects e.g. if a shot of 16 lbs and a shot
of 8 lbs travel at the same speed, the 16 lbs shot has more K.E. than the 8 lbs shot.
Potential Energy:-
P.E. is the energy stored in an object because of its position or condition .In Archery, when
you stretch a bow; it acquires the ability of releasing an arrow with speed. It means that the
stretched bow also has P.E. The more it is stretched, the greater the speed with which it can
release the arrow. It has the P.E. because of its stretched condition.
