21. Explain Isokinetic exercise with suitable examples

View Answer

Ans. This method was introduced by J.J. Perrine in 1968 and involves a particular type of muscle contraction called isokinetic contraction, generally used in sporting events like rowing and swimming.

View Answer

Ans. AGE GROUP: 9-18+ YEARS | CLASS 4 to 12 For Class 4 to 12, It is important for students to have an overall physical fitness. The following Components are to be considered in Physical Health and Fitness Profile:

1. Body Composition (BMI)

2. Strength a. Abdominal (Partial Curl-up) b. Muscular Endurance (Push Ups for Boys, Modified Push Ups for Girls)

3. Flexibility (Sit and Reach Test)

· Procedure: A thorough warm up should be given, including some practice starts and accelerations. Start from a stationary position, with one foot in front of the other. The front foot must be on or behind the starting line. This starting position should be static (dead start). The tester should provide hints for maximizing speed (such as keeping low, driving hard with the arms and legs) and encouraged to continue running hard through the finish line.

The subject raises the trunk in a smooth motion, keeping the arms in position, curling up the desired amount (at least 6 inches above/along the ground towards the parallel strip). The trunk is lowered back to the floor so that the shoulder blades or upper back touch the floor.

37. With the help of suitable examples, discuss the application of Newton’s Laws of Motion in sports.

View Answer

Ans. NEWTON’S FIRST LAW OF MOTION (LAW OF INERTIA)

According to the first law, a body will remain at rest or continue to move at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external (resultant) force. Inertia is the resistance of any object to any change in its motion, including a change in direction— objectives to keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed.

Application in Sports

· A skater gliding on ice will continue gliding with the same speed and in the same direction unless an external force acts upon the skater.

· When a ball is thrown and is in mid-air, the only force acting upon it is the force of gravity. If the force of gravity did not exist, the ball would keep traveling at a constant speed until it was affected by an object or another person touched it. If this ball were thrown upwards, it would end up traveling into space.

NEWTON’S SECOND LAW OF MOTION (LAW OF MOMENTUM)

As per the law, the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the resultant force and takes place in the direction of the resultant force. When a net force acts on an object, the acceleration of the object it produces is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, is in the same direction as the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. The more mass the thing has, the more net force has to be used to move it.

Application in Sports

· As in Shot-put, a player who applies more force and tosses the shot-put at the correct angle has a greater displacement of shot-put, whereas a player who exerts less force has a lesser displacement of shot put.

· In soccer, a team will require more force to kick the ball high and faster. This law of motion is fundamental in soccer, so you can calculate the force needed to give a pass or kick the ball to the net without missing.

NEWTON’S THIRD LAW (LAW OF REACTION)

According to this law, there is an equal and opposite reaction for every action, and this reaction acts with the same Momentum and the opposite velocity for every action. It states that whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object.

Application in Sports

· In Swimming, a diver needs to push down on the springboard when he/she dives off a diving board. The springboard pushes back the force on you for proper projecting into the air during the performance.
