1. The sit and reach test is a common measure of flexibility, and specifically measures the
flexibility of the lower back and hamstring muscles. This test is important as because
tightness in this area is implicated in lumbar lordosis and lower back pain. This test was
first described by Wells and Dillon (1952) and is now widely used as a general test of
flexibility.

11. The following are the factors for determining speed:
a. Muscle composition: The muscles which consist of more percentage of fast twitch
fibres contract with more speed and produce a greater speed. Different muscles of the
body have different percentage of fast twitch fibres.
b. Explosive strength: it depends on the shape, size and coordination of muscles. For
very quick and explosive movement, explosive strength is required. The related
proportion of fast twitch fibres and slow twitch fibres determines the maximum
possible speed with which the muscle can contract.

Sagittal or Medial plane: The sagittal plane is a vertical plane passing from the rear to the
fronty, dividing the body into left and right halves. It is also known as anteroposterior
plane. Most of the sports and exercise movements that are two dimensional, such as
running, long jumping and somersault take place in this plane. Transverse or Horizontal
plane: The transverse plane divides the body into top and bottom halves. In fact, it
divides the body into upper and lower sections. This plane lies horizontally that why it is
also called horizontal plane. Movements along this plane can include an ice-skating spin
or rotation to play a tennis shot.

22. If a person stand erect in standing position with his feet close together, then for a normal
posture there should be some gap between the knees. If there is no gap and the knees
touch or overlap, then it mean there is a deformity called knock knee. The main cause of
knock knees is the weakness of muscles and ligaments and also the softness of bones of
the knee region. To remove this deformity, extra care should be taken while walking. In
this postural deformity the legs are bent inward and knees strike each other while
walking or running. In this problem the knees join together while there is wide gap
between the ankles varying directly with the degree of deformity. Genu valgum,
commonly called "knock-knee", is a condition in which the knees angle in and touch one
another when the legs are straightened. Individuals with severe valgus deformities are
typically unable to touch their feet together while simultaneously straightening the legs.
The term originates from the Latin genu, "knee", and valgus which actually means bent
outwards. The main cause of knock knees is the weakness of muscles and ligaments and
also the softness of bones of the knee region. To remove this deformity, extra care should
be taken while walking. Corrective measures-Activating and developing the arches of the
feet, Waking up the inner leg muscles (adductors), and Learn how to move the inner
ankle bone inwards towards the outer ankle bone, and upwards towards the knee.
25. Adapting effects in our cardiovascular system for a longer period are:
i. Cardiac output increases: The cardiac output at maximum level of exercise it

stroke volume. For highly endurance trained athletes the cardiac output is 40 l/min.
or more.
ii. Increases in stroke volume: Physical exercise, especially endurance training,
increases the stroke volume. In trained athletes, who endure for long duration, the
left ventricle of heart holds more blood during relaxed state than it does in an
untrained athlete’s heart. It means more blood is available to enter the ventricle,
which ultimately increases stroke volume. It also results in decrease in heart rate at
rest.
iii. Lung volume: With endurance training lung volume and capacities increase. Vital

Friction is both helpful as well as harmful. Friction is Necessary: It reduces the efficiency
of work done. Nothing would be able to move without friction. Friction is how things
accelerate. Without friction we would not be able to walk, we would just be slipping.
Without friction we can not give better performance in sports. Examples: athletes use
spikes and footballers use studs to have appropriate friction while they run fast. A
Gymnast uses lime powder on his/her palms to perform many activities like horizontal
bar, uneven bar, Roman Rings. In Badminton, players are usually seen to rub their sole of
shoes with lime before going to the wooden court. It is done to provide better grip on the
floor so that one can move safely. Kabaddi players rub their hands with soil for a better

An axis is a straight line around which an object rotates. Movements at the joints of
human musculoskeletal system are mainly rotational and take place about a line
perpendicular to the plane in which they occur. This line is known as axis of rotation.
There are following types of axes of rotation:
a. Sagittal axis: The sagittal axis passes horizontally from posterior to anterior. It is
formed by the intersection of the sagittal and transverse plane. Sagittal axis passes
from front to back.
b. Frontal axis: The frontal axis passes horizontally from left to right. It is formed by the
intersection of frontal and horizontal plane. Frontal axis passes from side to side.

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.

necessary nutrient that has important functions within the body. There are two main
types of fat, saturated and unsaturated fats. Saturated fats are usually referred to as the
bad or unhealthy fats while unsaturated fats are referred to as the good or healthy ones
Saturated fats are found in animal products and are unhealthy because they generally
raise the level of bad cholesterol (LDL) in the body. Sources include dairy products (milk,
cheese, butter, ice cream), meats and eggs. Unsaturated fats are found mostly in vegetable
products and are healthy because they tend to lower the bad cholesterols (LDL) while
raising levels of good cholesterols (HDL). Sources include vegetable oils (olive & canola

spectrum refers to the range of symptoms and their severity. Generally, the young
children with ASD have difficulties with communication, language, social skill and
behavior. In other words, Autism Spectrum Disorder is characterized by social
interaction difficulties, communication challenges and a tendency to engage in repetitive
behavior.
The various causes of Autism Spectrum Disorder are as follows:
a. Genetic factors: It seems to play a very significant role. The first thing is that
something happens at the time of fetal development that alters genes and secondly
child inherits problematic genes from one or both the parents.
b. Environmental factors: It is not certain that environment causes ASD. But mothers
exposed to high level of pesticides and air pollution may also be at a higher risk of
having a child with ASD.

Trajectory is the path described by a moving object or the path followed by a projectile.
Examples are kicking a soccer ball, a throw-in cricket, throwing a hammer etc.
Factors affecting projectile trajectory are
i. Propelling Force The propelling force produces certain effects depending upon Its
point and direction of application. If the application is directly through the projectile's
centre of gravity, only linear motion results from the force. As the projecting force is
moved further from the centre of gravity, rotatory motion of the object increases at
the expense of linear motion. If the force is below the object's centre of gravity,
backspin results. Forward spin results when the force is above the centre of gravity.
When the force is off centre to the left, clockwise spin results and when it is off centre
to right, counter clockwise spin occurs.
ii. Force of Gravity As soon as contact is broken with a projected object, the force of
gravity begins to diminish the upward velocity of the object. Finally, gravity
overcomes the effects of the upward component of the projectile's motion and the
object begins to descend. The factors that determine how soon gravity will cause the
object to descend are
a. weight (mass) of the object
b. amount of force driving it upward
c. the effects of aIT resistance on the object.
iii. Effect of Air Resistance As the speed of an object increases, air resistance has a
greater retarding effect. The more surface area an object presents in the direction of
movement, the greater will be the effect of air resistance.

Step in Place Test (2 minutes) - The walk test is used to assess aerobic fitness unless the
person uses orthopedic devices when walking or has difficulty balancing in which case
they do the step in place test.
25. The effects of exercise on the cardiovascular system are
i. Cardiac output is the amount of blood pumped by the heart in 1 min. This increases
directly with increasing exercise intensity.
ii. The heart rate increases from a resting rate of 72 beats/min to 150 beats/min or even
more.
iii. The stroke volume, meaning the amount of blood pumped into the Aorta with every
heartbeat, increases from a resting volume of 70-90 mL to 100-120 mL per beat.
iv. Exercise increases the plasma volume of blood by 12 Op:, but total blood volume may
reduce slightly.
v. Blood flow is redistributed with more blood going to the muscles, heart and skin,
while blood in the kidneys and abdomen is reduced.
vi. Blood pressure increases due to exercise because there is more blood flowing in the
blood vessels.
26. In this training method in which certain exercise of various kind are performed with or
without apparatus with given dosage. It was developed by ―Adamson and Morgan in
1957. This is considered for the development of ―strength & Endurance. Circuit training
method is a scientific method which is based on over coming various exercises at once. It
is meant for to develop strength &endurance. It is an off-season training method. It is a
form of body conditioning or resistance training using high-intensity aerobics. It targets
strength building and muscular endurance. An exercise "circuit" is one completion of all
prescribed exercises in the program. When one circuit is complete, one begins the first
