19. Explain any two types of coordinative abilities.
Ans. Coordination is the ability to repeatedly execute a sequence of movement smoothly and accurately. Coordinative abilities primarily depend upon the central nervous system. There are various types of coordinative abilities:
(1) Adaptive ability: The capacity of a person to change the movement on the basis of predicted changes. This ability is achieved after mastering the skills.
(2) Reaction ability: The ability to respond quickly to a given stimulus and execute well directed action following a signal ex. Gunshot in 10 m, chaser in kho-kho, etc.
(3) Orientation ability: The skill of determining and changing the position of the bods in a complex situation. This helps in moving the body with accuracy. Eg. Defending an opponent in basketball; the position is changed according to the movement of the opponent.
20. Write in brief about any two types of impairments stated by IPC.
Ans. Types of impairments stated by IPC are as follows:
(1) Impaired muscle power: The force produced by muscles, such as those of one leg, one side of the bods, or the lower half of the body, is lessened with impairments in this category. For example, post-polio syndrome, spina bifida, and spinal cord injury.
(2) Impaired passive range of movement: The range of motion in one or more joints is systematically decreased. Acute illnesses like arthritis are excluded from this group.
(3) Loss of limb or limb deficiency: Bones or joints that are completely or partially absent as a result of injury, sickness, or congenital limb deficiencies such as dysmelia and amputation.
21. Mention any two points to explain the significances of biomechanics in sports.
Ans. Biomechanics plays a significant role in the field of physical education. With the help of this, sports person can achieve their goals easily. Let us understand the importance or biomechanics:
(1) Improves performance in sportspersons: The major goal of biomechanics is to improve performance of sports person in given sport or physical exercise. For example, the correct biomechanics of running allows athletes to carry out regular physical exercise for long enough periods of time without being seriously limited by injuries and their consequences.
(2) Enhances the techniques: In sporting events, technique is the major factor of performance. Sports technique is a physical action of an athlete which leads to the best possible execution of a physical motion in conformity with a required task in o given sporting event. Improvement of technique with the help of biomechanics can be used by teachers and coaches to correct the motion of athletes.
(3) Helps to develop better sports equipment: Advanced sport equipments give advantage to both elite and recreational athletes. For example, on introduction of the new vaulting equipment (vaulting table) after the 2000 Olympics represents the most substantial transition in the development of gymnastics in the last decades. New vaulting equipment allows gymnasts to produce bigger angular momentum and thus, to execute more complex vaults with multiple rotations around horizontal and vertical axes. Hence, biomechanics helps in developing better and high-quality sports equipment.
22. Describe the various which reactions of an athlete can be classified as aggression and assertive behaviors?
Ans. Aggression entails behaviors meant to harm or intimidate opponents, that is honestly adverse to the spirit of competition. This will manifest in numerous forms, such as bodily violence, verbal abuse, or maybe device manipulation. For instance, a player who deliberately trips an opponent or delivers a malicious foul exhibits hostile aggression.
Alternatively, assertiveness is an advantageous force that drives athletes to excel It entails a centered intensity, dedication and a confident demeanor. Assertive athletes play tough inside the rules, expressing their competitive spirit without resorting to dangerous procedures.
It is important to differentiate between these two behaviors. While assertiveness can decorate overall performance and foster a positive sporting environment, aggression can lead to consequences, injuries, and a negative reputation for both the individual and the sport.
23. Explain briefly any two types of disabilities.
Ans. Types of disabilities are:
(1) Cognitive disability: It generally refers to anyone with lower than average intellectual functioning. A person who has a cognitive disability has trouble in performing mental tasks that an average person would be able to do.
(2) Intellectual disability: It is a disability characterized by significant limitations in both intellectual functioning (learning. problem solving or judgment) and in adaptive behavior (communication). This disability originates before the age of 18.
(3) Physical disability: It is a long-term loss or impairment of a part of the body’s physical functions. It can involve difficulties in mobility. sitting. standing, use of arms and hands, sight, speech, etc.
24. Define flatfoot and explain the physical activities that can be undertaken to correct flatfoot deformity.
Ans. Flat foot (also called fallen arches) is a postural deformity in which the arches of the foot collapse, with the entire sole of the foot coming into complete or near-Complete contact with the ground. Corrective exercises for flat foot deformity:
(1) Jumping/walking on toes: In this, you have to jump/walk on your toes. It is a pattern where an individual jumps/walks on the balls of their feet instead of their heels touching the ground.
(2) Use good quality shoes: Wear shoes which have proper arch support. Avoid wearing high heels.
(3) Standing on toes or heels: Standing on toes is also a very good exercise for flat foot as when you stand on toes or heels, it stretches your tendons in ankles and feet.
While doing this exercise, keep the surface smooth and your body balanced.

27. What is personality? Explain the dimensions of personality?
Ans. Personality is an individual’s unique and relatively unchanging psychological characteristics and behavioral patterns. In other words, personality refers to the consistency in who you are, have been, and will become. It also refers to the special blend of talents, attitudes, values, hopes, loves, hates, and habits that makes each of us a unique person.
Dimensions of personality:
(1) Physical dimension: It is based on the fact that the first impression is the last impression.
In fact, physical dimension is related to good appearance, good physique, good health, and good height of an individual. It is the first impression of an individual’s personality, his body and intellectual abilities. (2) Mental dimension: If an individual has good mental ability then only his/her personality will be counted as good personality: eg. There are many intellectual persons whose personality is counted as good personality, although they may not have good physique but they have extraordinary mental and intellectual qualities.
(3) Social dimension: A good personality is sociable and socializing, character, morality, etiquettes, manners, work ethics, friendliness, good attitude, helpful nature, cooperation, sympathy and kindness, etc., are qualities or traits which are essential for sound personality.
(4) Emotional dimension: Emotional dimension is related to emotional stability. To have emotional stability is an essential aspect of one’s personality. It means that one must have proper control over various emotions such as fear, anger, disgust, distress, amusement, happiness, etc. in different situations. For example, many sportsmen who do not have emotional control over their personality will not be counted as a good personality although they have good physical, mental and social base.

35. How does physical activities reshape your muscles over time? Discuss the immediate and long-term effects of exercise on the muscular system.
Ans. Exercise, particularly strength training damages muscle fibers on a microscopic level, thereby encouraging the development of new muscle. Over time, the growth and repair processes initiated by this damage result in larger and stronger muscles. Immediate and long-term effects of exercise on muscular system are as follows:
(1) Immediate or Short-Term Effects:
(i) Increased Blood Flow: During exercise, muscles require more oxygen and nutrients, which increases blood flow to the working muscles. This is why our muscles might feel warmer and appear more engorged with blood during a workout.
(ii) Muscle Contraction and Fatigue: Exercise causes muscles to contract more intensely than they do during rest. This can lead to temporary muscle fatigue and a buildup of metabolic byproducts, like lactic acid, which can cause a burning sensation.
(iii) Hormonal Response: Physical activity stimulates the release of hormones like adrenaline. cortisol, and growth hormone, which help to manage the immediate demands of exercise and promote temporary changes in muscle function.
(iv) Increased Muscle Temperature: Exercise raises the temperature of your muscles, which can enhance enzyme activity and improve the efficiency of muscle contractions during the workout.
(2) Long-Term Effects:
(i) Muscle Hypertrophy: With regular resistance training muscle fibers experience hypertrophy which is an increase in muscle size. This occurs as a result of the muscle fibers increasing in diameter and the formation of new muscle proteins in response to the stress placed on them
(i) Improved Muscle Strength and Endurance: Over time, muscles adapt to increased loads and demands by becoming stronger and more resistant to fatigue. This involves changes at the cellular level, including increased synthesis of muscle proteins and enhanced capacity for energy production.
(iii) Enhanced Muscle Fiber Recruitment: Long-term training improves the ability of the nervous system to recruit more muscle fibers, including those that are less active during low-intensity exercise. This enhances overall muscle performance.
(iv) Increased Mitochondrial Density: Endurance exercise in particular leads to an increase in the number of mitochondria within muscle cells. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, and more of them improve the muscle’s ability to produce energy aerobically.
36. What are the steps which should be taken to improve women’s participation in sports in India?
Ans. Steps that should be ta ken to improve women’s participation in sports in India are:
(1) Equality in society: Our society does not accept females equal and important port of society. Female participation is either completely banned or there is less participation of women in our country.
(2) Motivation from parents: Parents play an important role in women’s participation in sports. They should be counseled, motivated and encouraged to make women participate sports activities. 7
(3) Encouragement from teachers and coaches: Teachers and coaches play an important role in women’s participation in sports. Girls should be encouraged by their teachers and coaches to participate in sports activities.
(4) Respect in society: If women get valuable respect in society. then their participation can be increased.
(5) Emphasis on girls’ education: Lack of girl’s education is one of the major reasons for less participation. In rural areas, people are still against women’s education, which should be increased.
(6) Media support: In India, media does not support women. Thus, due to lack of representation, they don’t feel motivated to participate in sports.
(7) Safety rules: In India, women are not safe. They face many problems like eve-teasing unethical remarks, rubbish comments, etc. Thus, they do not want to participate in sports.
(8) Women coaches: In India, there are less number of female coaches. Women do not feel comfortable in the company of male coaches. Thus, there is a need of more female coaches to increase the participation of women in sports.
(9) Need to improve self-confidence: Women have lower confidence than men. Self-confidence is necessary for any competition. Although some women enjoy the competitive element of sports but many are turned off from sports because it is competitive.
(10) Financial aid from government: In our country. financial aid and scholarship are not sufficient to develop sports infrastructure for female participation in sports. This should also increase.
37. What is lordosis? What are the causes of this problem and how can we treat this deformity?
Ans. Lordosis: It is a problem in lumbar spine. It is a postural deformity in which the spine bends from the stomach and leans forward. Thus, the abdomen is ahead of the body and shoulder comes outward and side ward. This is also called hollow back.
Causes of lordosis:
(1) Obesity
