Question paper carries two parts namely Part A & B.

Part A

Q.1. How an individual is benefited with fitness and

wellness. Explain the principles of fitness.

2+2+6

Ans.
It is known that fitness and wellness makes an individual physically fit,
mentally stable and helps becoming a good citizen. Fitness helps individual
achieve satisfactory level of strength, endurance and flexibility. It further
improves the confidence and energy level. One feels more energetic and
fresh for the whole day. It also leads to sound sleep followed by more relaxed
body which leading to mental satisfaction and social stability. Body becomes
more resistant to general ailments. Fitness improves efficiency of heart and
lungs by improving cardio-respiratory fitness. It helps in maintaining normal
blood pressure of the body. In nutshell, we can say – fitness and wellness
helps to achieve the aim of physical education i.e. – “All round development
of personality of the individual.”

Principles of fitness:-

1. Before taking any fitness programme one go for medical check-up.

2. One can take-up the fitness program at any age.
3. Fitness program must be scientifically chalked out depending on age,
sex and ability.
4. Programme must be simple to complex.
 5. Avoid eating or drinking during a fitness session.
6. Safety must be given priority during the programme.
7. There should be proper gap between the meal and training session.
8. Avoid uncomfortable clothing during the exercise.
9. Avoid overstress and workout according to your need and capacity.
10. The most important principle of developing physical fitness is the
principle of overload.

Q.2. Circuit training consists of exercises performed

with or without apparatus. Draw a diagram of circuit
training along with stations. What are the main
characteristics of circuit training?

5+5

Ans.

“Circuit – Training “
Characteristics of circuit – training:-

1. Do the correct movements. Wrong and incorrect movements may be

harmful.

2. Follow the principle – “Simple to complex.” i.e. – First do the simple

exercise and move towards the complex one.

3. Do the exercise with your 80-100% efficiency.

4. Number of repetitions may vary according to need and efficiency.

5. The aim should be development of strength endurance and

flexibility.

6. Do the exercise in a manner so that all body parts can be exercised.

7. Increase the intensity and volume of exercises gradually.

Q.3. Specify the role of sociology in sports. How

physical education programme leads to leadership
and value education?

2+4+4

Ans.

Role of Sociology in Sports:-

Sociology is derived out of Latin word “societus” meaning society and Greek
word “logus” meaning study of science. It means sociology is the science of
society.

Definition of Sociology: - Sociology is the study of relationship of

men with his environment.

Definition of Sports-Sociology:- Sports Sociology is the study of

origin, development, organization and role of sports in human society.

Role of Sociology in Sports:

As Aristotle said “Man is a social animal.” A child born, live in the family and
home, go to the school, learn to adjust and develop himself socially. Sports
activities are mostly group activities offering many opportunities for
socialization and development of social qualities in individuals, the child
plays with his peers, get acquainted with the behaviour of other children. He
learns language and various modes of movements like running, jumping,
chasing, shouting, struggling etc. Exchange of toys and words, feeling of
giving and receiving. In this way group play leads to socialization. Through
sociology athletes learns and develop qualities of co-operation and healthy
competition.

Sociology leads to character development also. Through sociology individual

learns independence, confidence, solving problems with peers. He also
develops the qualities of friendship, popularity, mutual understanding and
leadership. In competitions the athletes learns to face odds, to be couraged,
to be obedient, to be self confident etc. One realizes through sociology that
both competition and co-operation are important for all round development
of an individual. It helps physical education teachers to develop traits of
social behaviour among players. It helps in development of moral character
of athletes.

Leadership and value Education

It is true that Physical Education programmes leads to leadership and value
education, while playing every player try to prove his identity, whether it is
an individual sport or team event. Every player tries to show excellence to
prove – The Best. Best means the Leader. Every player wants to perform so
as to become leader of the team and in individual sport the player wants to
win – to prove supremacy. Or we can say winner is the leader. There are
some other activities like NCC, Scouts and Guides, Camping etc. that helps
individual to learn new thing to survive and to spend the life with
intelligence.

Through Physical Education and sports the individual become not only
physically fit and mentally sound but also he develops essential values for
life like – strong moral character, co-operation, forgiveness, self-respect,
support, care belongingness, respect for seniors and teachers etc. In present
scenario it is observed that the students lack in values but with participation
in games and sports they are likely to develop these values that help them
become a good person and a responsible citizen.

Q3. “Games and sports as cultural heritage” Justify.

10

Ans.
“Games and sports as Cultural Heritage”

Culture consists of the behaviour that individuals develop as a result of living

in a particular group. It is a way of life and a product of our social in
heritance. Our culture consists of our ways of living, eating habits, thoughts,
customs, traditions, morals, art, literature, religion, games and sports and
many other aspects of life. Our modern culture is not a product of sudden
change or development, but has been evolved over centuries of the past. It
is therefore a sort of reflection of our past. Therefore, games and sports of
modern times are also indicators of the primitive times. Such activities have
been passed on to us by our ancestors and are therefore our cultural
heritage.

History of physical activities of man is as old as civilization itself. Most of the

activities of primitive men were of physical nature and were aimed to secure
means of existence. Activities included running, jumping, fighting, fishing
and wrestling etc.

Such activities were essential for fighting enemies and procuring food.
However, with the passage of time and formation of groups and institutions,
some games and dances were added for the purpose of enjoyment and
recreation. Games and sports activities of modern times are modified forms
of the past activities of our ancestors and have been passed on to us as part
of our cultural heritage. Some of the items of modern sports competitions,
such as boxing etc. originated in the past.

Our modern culture is a mixture of many cultures of the ancient world. Many
countries of the world have contributed in its evolution through their
thoughts and practices. In this respect, contributions of early Egyptians,
Greeks, and countries of the west cannot be forgotten. Most of the games
and activities of today are the outcome of the contributions of these
countries.

Gymnastic activities of modern times are the contribution of Germans.

Germany gave us heavy gymnastics apparatus like horizontal bar, vaulting
horse and parallel bars etc.. The British are considered to be the originators
of ball games. They introduced games of football, hockey and cricket. The
British helped in spreading these games around the world.

America introduced games of volleyball, basketball and baseball. There

emphasis on physical fitness is worth admiring.

There are references of activities like archery, wrestling and games like
“Shatranj” in Indian history from the times of Mahabharata. There are also
references of games like “Kabaddi” and “Kho-Kho” having been played in the
past. All such activities of the past are part of our physical activities today.

Thus, we can say that games, sports and other physical activities of modern
times are not a creation of modern thought and practice, but are a legacy of
our ancient culture. We have simply modified these games and activities to
refine them and suit our convenience. In fact the cultural heritage of the past
show us the methods of surviving in this changing world.

Q.4. Describe the following:

(i) Sports environment

(ii) Essential elements of sports environment

(iii) Role of individual in improving sports

environment

(iv) Prevention of sports related accidents

(v) Physical education as a medium to improve

sports environment

2x5

Ans.

(i) Sports Environment:- Sports environment means availability

of proper infrastructure, equipments and conducive ambience for
sports. For example if a player is provided with proper ground,
equipments, trainer/ Coach and experienced or senior players to
practice or complete with he would learn and perform better and
will give his best in sports.

(ii) Essential elements of sports environment:- In a

school essential element of sports environment can be as follows:-

(a) Ground for outdoor sports.

(b) Indoor Hall.

(c) Swimming Pool.

(e) Qualified Physical Education teachers and specialized coaches.

(f) Inter School Competitions.

(iii) Role of individual in improving sports

environment:-
 The individual can be a player, the captain of the team or sports
captain of the school. They can motivate other students to play and
participate in the games and sports by telling them the benefits of
sports. Because motivation by peer group can be real source of
energy for improving sports environment.

(iv) Prevention of Sports related accidents:-

In this the Physical Education Teachers and Trainers/ Coaches play
very important role. They shall see that there is no obstacle in the
ground. The ground is neat, clean and leveled. The equipment must
be safe. The training should be done in organized manner. Extra
attention should be given to injury oriented sports like Cricket,
Hockey, Football, Archery, Javelin Throw, Discus Throw, Shot-put
etc. The most important is not to leave students unattended. The
Physical Education Teacher should be there to provide help at the
time of injury or accident that may happen during the game.

(v) Physical Education as a medium to improve

sports environment:-
Physical Education is one of the important ways to improve sports
environment. The Physical Education professional can play the main
and important role improving sports environment. They should
provide theoretical and practical knowledge of Physical Education
and Sports so that children learn more and interest for sports and
games be created. This will increase participation and will help in
improving sports environment in the school.

Q.5. While describing the terms yoga and asanas,

explain the role of yoga for improving performance
in competitive sports.

3+3+4

Ans.

Yoga- Yoga means "union of soul with the God." The word ‘Yog’ is derived
from Sanskrit word "Yuj", which means to join or union or to bind. In other
words "union of soul with God". The correct meaning of yoga is to perform a
task with excellence is called Yoga.
Asana- Asana is the third step of Yoga. In Astanga Yoga, after achieving
Yama and Viyayama, the Yogi starts asana or Yogic postures. Asanas are
very helpful in maintaining good health. We can divide asana (poses) in
following parts.

to the body and vitality to the body and the mind.

Role of yoga for improving performance in competitive sports:-

By doing yoga regularly along with other fitness methods, it is very helpful in
developing certain aspects of fitness that can improve performance in
competitive sports.

1. Improvement in flexibility - Regular practice of yoga helps in improving

joint range of motion that improves overall flexibility. Flexibility is a motor
component without which a player is not complete for desired standards.

2. Strength and Endurance:- Regular practice of yoga helps in improving

general strength and endurance. Asanas provide strength to certain muscles
and breathing processes like Pranayama helps in improving breathing
capacity and lungs become more efficient resulting in improved
