Section B
19. Anthropometric measurements of height, weight, arm and leg length, waist circumference
and skin fold etc. are significant indicators of health which enable us to know the physical
growth and development and health problems of a individual.
20. Sports facilities are the facilities required in various sports, games and other activities such
as the facility of gymnasium, equipment in health clubs and fitness centres, swimming
pools, stadium, sports complexes etc.
21. Cardiac Output = stroke volume × heart rate.
It is 5 to 6 litres at basal level. In untrained person, it can go unto 20 liters and in trained
athletes it can go unto 40 litres.
22. Circumduction is the movement of the limb in a circle and is a combination of shoulder
abduction, shoulder adduction, Flexion and Extension. You can perform Circumduction
with the arm, leg, finger or foot.
23. The role of a speech therapist is to build the communication of children with special needs
by teaching them the use of words, sounds, gestures etc to express themselves.
24. There are three types of doping:
i. use of drugs
ii. Blood doping
iii. Gene doping
Section C
25. Test, measurement and evaluation are tools which are very significant for research in the
field of sports and physical education because they help to
i. Find Shortcomings: These tools help in finding various shortcomings in training
programmes, as the results of measurement can be compared with the expected
outcomes to research particular areas.
ii. Bridge Gaps: Evaluation of the measurements made in the tests help s to bridge the
gap between existing knowledge and any viewpoint to be researched in the future.
iii. Develop New Techniques: Evaluation of the effectiveness of the tests helps develop
new styles, convenient tools and techniques for development in the future.
Thus, good research depends on proper testing, measurement and evaluation.
26. The optimum projectile angle for achieving maximum horizontal range in throwing events
is considerably less than 45 . This because an athlete can generate a greater projection
o
 velocity at low projectile angle than at high angles. The range of projectile is strongly
dependent on projectile speed. In sports, the fact is that the projection speed of implement
decreases when you throw within the higher projection angle. Shotput has a projectile
angle from 26˚ to 42˚. Every athlete has a unique speed, angle curve that depends on
his/her stature, strength and throwing technique. The flight of discus is greatly affected by
aerodynamic forces acting upon it. The aerodynamic forces come from the movement of
the discus through the air. When in flight, the discus is affected by force of gravity,
aerodynamic lift and aerodynamic drag. The stability of discus flight comes from the spine
of the discus. Discus has a projectile angle from 27˚ - 43˚ for maximum range. To achieve
maximum distance in javelin the athlete will have to balance three components-speed,
strength and technique. After approach – run of 13 – 17 strides the releasing angle for
javelin has to take into consideration aerodynamic lift and drag. Distance achieved in
Javelin depends upon height of release, angle of release and speed of release of Javelin.
The optimum angle of release 26˚ to 40˚.
27. i. To be knowledgeable of and comply with all applicable anti-doping policies and rules.
ii. To be available for sample collection at all times.
iii. To remain in direct observation of doping control officer until the sample is sealed.
iv. To co-operate with athlete during doping test programme.
v. Athlete must show proof of identification when ever needed.
28. Test and Measurement are important in sports:
i. For the selection of athlete.
ii. For getting knowledge about the progress.
iii. For preparation and effective planning.
iv. For classification of sportsperson.
v. For knowing the abilities and capacities.
29. The leg, feet and gluteus muscle groups are used in jumping. Specific muscles which are
involved in jumping are gluteus maximus, hamstrings, quadriceps and soleus. 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.
30. Blood is one of the three parts of the circulatory system. It is a specialised fluid that
actually performs the function of the circulatory system. It delivers the necessary, nutrients
and oxygen to the tissues and organs of the body. It is also responsible for carrying the
waste products for excretion.
Blood is composed of four components that are:
Red Blood Cells or RBC’s which carries oxygen to the tissues.
White Blood Cells or WBC’s which fights all infections and diseases.
Platelets which helps the blood to clot in cases of wounds and injuries.
Plasma which carries the blood cells, nutrients and waste products.
Section D
31. 1. B) Occupational Therapist
2. C) ability
3. A Counsellor
4. D) developmental
32. A) Excellence
B) part
D) enjoying
C) motivate
33. 1. A) Mental strength
2. C) Positive
3. D) Mentally
4. B) Blood
Section E
34. High artery tension or pressure is referred to as hypertension or high blood pressure
(HBP). Even though emotional tension and stress can temporarily raise blood pressure,
excessive emotional tension is not always linked to high blood pressure.
Four asanas used for prevention of Hypertension are as follows:
i. Tadasana
ii. Gomukhasana
iii. Shavasana
iv. Vakrasana
 Procedure and Contraindication for Tadasana:

Tadasana: The word "tadasana" is derived from two Sanskrit words: "tada" which means
"mountain" and "palm tree" and "asana" which means "posture". Mountain position or
palm tree posture are other names for this asana. Tadasana helps the practitioner physically
and mentally while stretching their arms, chest, abdominal muscles, spine, knees, ankles,
and feet, among other body parts. Tadasana regularly practises enhances strength and
balance.
Procedure of Tadasana:
i. Stand erect, and place the legs slightly apart, with hands side by the body.
ii. One should raise the hands straight in front up to arms and the palms should face each
other.
iii. Then raise the hands straight up into the air, fingers pointing up towards the sky.
iv. Raise your heels as high as you can while standing slowly on your toes. The body
should expand as much as it can incline your head upward.
v. Feel the stretch in the body right from the feet to the head. Hold the position for a few
seconds.
vi. While returning to the starting position, bring the heels on the ground first, and then
bring down the hands.
Contraindications of Tadasana:
i. People prone to low blood pressure, headache, insomnia, lightheaded and dizziness
should avoid this asana.
ii. Avoid this asana during pregnancy.
35. Importance of Anatomy and Physiology in Physical Education:
In various sports, physical activities, exercises, etc., only the human body performs. It
means that without the help of human body no physical activities, performances,
exercises, etc., can be performed. In order to study physical education and sports from
scientific point of view, one should be familiar with anatomy and physiology. Only with
the help and knowledge of anatomy and physiology, the study of human body's
movements and effects of exercises on human body can be known properly. The
 knowledge of anatomy and physiology is therefore, essential for any physical educator,
coach or sport scientist.
i. It helps in evaluation of a player's capacity.
ii. It helps in positioning of the body during training session.
iii. It helps in speedy rehabilitation from sports injuries.
iv. It provides information of positive or negative aspects of a player's/ athlete's bodily
structure.
v. It helps in the study of ill-effect of alcohol to the human body.
vi. It helps a player/athlete to choose any sport event as per his bodily capacity.
vii. It helps in recovery of fatigue occurred during training session.
viii. It helps in the study of the effects of exercises on human body.
ix. It helps in preventing sports injuries.
x. It helps in providing adequate information of sports nutrition.
xi. It helps in improving the sports performance of a player/athlete.
xii. It is helpful to know about chemical changes during exercise.
Thus, it is quite evident from the above given points that the knowledge of anatomy and
physiology is essential in Physical Education and Sports.
36. i. Medical Examination:- It is very important for the success of programme related to a
dated physical education. Otherwise, it will be difficult to find out what kind of
disability, the student is suffering from. Therefore it is imperative to conduct a medical
examination of the students.
ii. Programmes according to the interest of the students:- programmes should be made
keeping in mind the interest, capacity and previous experience of the students. The
teachers should also have deep knowledge about it, then only they can make any
successful programme.
iii. Equipment should be appropriate:- Students should be provided with equipment
asper disability concerned for example, students suffering from visual impairment
should be given a ball with a bell so that they may catch the ball as it rolls because of
the sound. Thus such students can make out the direction and distance of the ball.
iv. Proper Environment:- The play area also should be limited because of the limited
speed capacity of the children for example, speech impaired children are given rest in
between the games. The play area should be limited to top smaller area.
v. Modification of rules:- Rules and regulation of the game and sports should be
modified depending on the specific needs of students. In order to learn a new skill, they
may be given extra time, extra effort, extra rest and 2 marks in place of 1 mark.
Thus, they might be given the opportunity for all-round development.
37. Five reasons for the importance of physiology are:
 i. Helps in Designing Better Training Sessions: A physical trainer can design better
training sessions for sportspersons by knowing their physiological capacities and
limitations. If training sessions are not designed keeping this knowledge in mind, it can
even harm the sportsperson.
ii. Knowledge about Chemical Changes can Improve Performance: A number of
chemical changes take place in our body during exercise or participating in sports.
Human physiology provides detailed knowledge of these changes.
On the basis of this knowledge, a proper diet can be designed for the sportsperson
concerned, so that his performance can be improved.
iii. Preventing Sports Injuries and Speedy Rehabilitation: Proper knowledge of the
functioning of the bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments helps in designing better
protective equipment for the soft and delicate organs of the body. Knowledge of
anatomy also helps in the speedy recovery of the sportspersons from injuries.
iv. Understanding Differences between Males and Females With the knowledge of
anatomy and physiology, and difference between males and females can be understood
properly.
This knowledge of anatomical and physiological differences between males and
females helps in designing proper sport and training programmes for both genders.
v. Understanding Environmental Effects on Sportspersons: To understand effect of the
environment on sportspersons, we must have good knowledge of their physiology.
How and what type of problems a sportsperson is facing can be found by knowing the
physiological changes that occur in their bodies.
For instance, when training or competing at a high altitude, where the air is rarefied, the
red blood cell count goes up, unused air sacs in the lungs are activated and heart and
respiratory rates go up.
The effects of these changes can be studied better with proper knowledge of human
physiology.
