View Answer

Ans. Flexibility is the range of movement. It is the ability of joints to move in the maximum range.

Developing methods of flexibility are

(i) Ballistic Method : It is the oldest form of doing stretching exercises. This method involves jerk in movement. A joint or muscle is stretched with just rhythmic actions or movements around a joint. Before performing such exercise, the appropriate warm-up is essential.

(ii) Slow-Stretching Method: In this method, the muscle or joint involved is stretched to the maximum possible limit using slow movement. It has an advantage over the ballistic method as it minimises the chances of overstretching of the muscle or joint, preventing injury to the tissue.

(iii) Slow-Stretching and Holding Method : It is the extension of slow- stretching method. Here the muscle is stretched to its maximum limit and then the position is held for few seconds before returning to the original position.

(iv) Post-Isometric Stretching: This method is based on the principle of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. In this procedure, the muscle is first contracted maximally for 6-8 seconds using isometric method. Then the muscle is gradually stretched to its maximum limit and is held in this position for 8-10 seconds. This process is to be repeated 4 to 8 times for each muscle group.


36. Justify the statement, “Participation in games and sports results in all-round development of personality.”

View Answer

Ans. Games and sports are essential for the all-round development of personality. It is by participating in games and sports that we can develop and maintain our health and keep our body alert, active, youthful and energetic. Participation increases blood- circulation and we get an increased supply of oxygen. This makes a person healthier.

Games and sports have additional benefits to exercise, as they are played in groups and in a healthy competitive spirit. Among other things, they help to develop co-operation, qualities of leadership, team spirit and a willingness to submit to the rule of law. Games instill in participants the spirit of self-reliance, justice, fair play and sporting spirit. They make people bold, adventurous, social, disciplined and more conscious of their responsibilities towards society and the nation. Games also help in overcoming feelings of violence, arrogance and superiority, as these are purged by providing them a sufficient outlet through games.

They teach that there is more joy in playing than in its end result.

Thus, participation in sports results in all-round development of personality.
