KHELO INDIA TEST
Fitness defines the ability to perform physical activity, and
encompasses a wide range of abilities. Each activity and sports
requires a specific set of skills, and so being fit for an activity or a
sport does not necessarily make you fit for another.
Fitness is generally divided into specific fitness categories or
components, and each can be tested and trained individually. The
following pages will help you do the Fitness Test Administration in
your school more effectively using Khelo India Fitness Assessment
App and viewing the School Dashboard on School Interface.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a person's weight in kilograms (or pounds)
divided by the square of height in meters (or feet). A high BMI can
indicate high body fatness. BMI screens for weight categories that
may lead to health problems, but it does not diagnose the body
fatness or health of an individual.
BMI is calculated from body mass (M) and height (H). BMI = M / (H x
H), where M = body mass in kilograms and H = height in meters.
Measuring Height
Make sure legs are straight, arms are at sides, and shoulders are
level. Make sure the child or teen is looking straight ahead and
that the line of sight is parallel with the
floor. Take the measurement while the
child or teen stands with head, shoulders,
buttocks, and heels touching the flat
surface (wall).

DIABETES
Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not
produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it
produces. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood glucose. Hyperglycaemia,
also called raised blood glucose or raised blood sugar, is a common effect of
uncontrolled diabetes and over time leads to serious damage to many of the
body's systems, especially the nerves and blood vessels.
Type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes (previously known as insulin-dependent, juvenile or
childhoodonset) is characterized by deficient insulin production and requires
daily administration of insulin. In 2017 there were 9 million people with type 1
diabetes; the majority of them live in high-income countries. Neither its cause
nor the means to prevent it are known. Symptoms include excessive excretion
18 | P a g e
of urine (polyuria), thirst (polydipsia), constant hunger, weight loss, vision
changes, and fatigue. These symptoms may occur suddenly.
Type 2 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes (formerly called non-insulin-dependent, or adult-onset) results
from the body’s ineffective use of insulin. More than 95% of people with
diabetes have type 2 diabetes. This type of diabetes is largely the result of
excess body weight and physical inactivity. Symptoms may be similar to those
of type 1 diabetes but are often less marked. As a result, the disease may be
diagnosed several years after onset, after complications have already arisen.

Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a
net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's
court under organized rules. It has been a part of the official program of the
Summer Olympic Games since Tokyo 1964.
HISTORY
Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan, physical director of the
Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) in Holyoke, Massachusetts. It was
designed as an indoor sport for businessmen who found the new game of
basketball too vigorous. Morgan called the sport “mintonette,” until a
professor from Springfield College in Massachusetts noted the volleying nature
of play and proposed the name of “volleyball.” The original rules were written
by Morgan and printed in the first edition of the Official Handbook of the
Athletic League of the Young Men’s Christian Associations of North America
(1897). The game soon proved to have wide appeal for both sexes in schools,
29 | P a g e
playgrounds, the armed forces, and other organizations in the United States,
and it was subsequently introduced to other countries.
In 1916 rules were issued jointly by the YMCA and the National Collegiate
Athletic Association (NCAA). The first nationwide tournament in the United
States was conducted by the National YMCA Physical Education Committee in
New York City in 1922. The United States Volleyball Association (USVBA) was
formed in 1928 and recognized as the rules-making, governing body in the
United States. From 1928 the USVBA—now known as USA Volleyball (USAV)—
has conducted annual national men’s and senior men’s (age 35 and older)
volleyball championships, except during 1944 and 1945. Its women’s division
was started in 1949, and a senior women’s division (age 30 and older) was
added in 1977. Other national events in the United States are conducted by
member groups of the USAV such as the YMCA and the NCAA.
Volleyball was introduced into Europe by American troops during World War I,
when national organizations were formed. The Fédération Internationale de
Volley Ball (FIVB) was organized in Paris in 1947 and moved to Lausanne,
Switzerland, in 1984. The USVBA was one of the 13 charter members of the
FIVB, whose membership grew to more than 210 member countries by the
late 20th century.
International volleyball competition began in 1913 with the first Far East
Games, in Manila. During the early 1900s and continuing until after World War
II, volleyball in Asia was played on a larger court, with a lower net, and nine
players on a team.
The FIVB-sponsored world volleyball championships (for men only in 1949; for
both men and women in 1952 and succeeding years) led to acceptance of
standardized playing rules and officiating. Volleyball became an Olympic sport
for both men and women at the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
European championships were long dominated by Czechoslovakian,
Hungarian, Polish, Bulgarian, Romanian, and Soviet (later, Russian) teams. At
the world and Olympic level, Soviet teams have won more titles, both men’s
and women’s, than those of any other nation. Their success was attributed to
widespread grassroots interest and well-organized play and instruction at all
levels of skill. A highly publicized Japanese women’s team, Olympic champions
in 1964, reflected the interest of private industry in sport. Young women
working for the sponsoring company devoted their free time to conditioning,
team practice, and competition under expert and demanding coaching.
30 | P a g e
Encouraged by the Japanese Volleyball Association, this women’s team made
its mark in international competition, winning the World Championship in
1962, 1966, and 1967, in addition to the 1964 Olympics. At the end of the 20th
century, however, the Cuban women’s team dominated both the World
Championships and the Olympics.
The Pan American Games (involving South, Central, and North America) added
volleyball in 1955, and Brazil, Mexico, Canada, Cuba, and the United States are
frequent contenders for top honours. In Asia, China, Japan, and Korea
dominate competition. Volleyball, especially beach volleyball, is played in
Australia, New Zealand, and throughout the South Pacific.
A four-year cycle of international volleyball events, recommended by the FIVB,
began in 1969 with World Cup championships, to be held in the year following
the Olympic Games; the second year is the World Championships; in the third
the regional events are held (e.g., European championships, Asian Games,
African Games, Pan American Games); and in the fourth year the Olympic
Games
RULES
31 | P a g e
Volleyball courts are regulated at 59’ (18 m) in length with a width of 29.5' (9
m). Attack lines dividing the front and back rows are marked 9’10” (3 m)
parallel to the net. Free zones at a minimum of 9’10” (3 m) are required
around the entirety of the court with generous clearances up to 16’5” (5 m) on
the sides and 21’4” (6.5 m) in the back.
The Ball :
A volleyball is a ball used to play indoor volleyball, beach volleyball, or other
less common variations of the sport. Volleyballs are round and traditionally
consist of eighteen nearly rectangular panels of synthetic or genuine leather,
arranged in six identical sections of three panels each, wrapped around a
bladder.
A regulation volleyball should be 65-67 centimeters in circumference and
weigh 260-280 grams (9-10 oz). The ball's inside pressure
should be 0.30-0.325 kg/cm2 (4.26-4.61 psi).
32 | P a g e
Basic rule of volleyball scoring :
side out is used as reference to an absolute rule, this is when only the serving
team can score. Although, now the meaning of side out has changed . A side
out now referred to when the receiving team gets to serve even if they get a
point or not. The scoring system was changed to the Rally system. A rally is a
sequence of playing actions that decides each point from the moment the ball
is served until the ball is out of bounds. If the serving team wins the rally they
continue to serve, and if the receiving team wins the rally they receive the
opportunity to serve.
Rally Scoring:
Rally scoring is when a team gets a point
when the other team fails to return the ball
over the net, or when the ball goes out of bounds,
commits an infraction or makes a service error.
Sideout Scoring:
When the opposing team fails to return the ball over the net, hit the ball out of
bounds, commits an infraction or make a service error, the serving team scores
a point. This also counts for the receiving team.
Libero :
The libero player was introduced internationally in 1998,[28] and made its
debut for NCAA competition in 2002.[29] The libero is a player specialized in
defensive skills: the libero must wear a contrasting jersey color from their
teammates and cannot block or attack the ball when it is entirely above net
height. When the ball is not in play, the libero can replace any back-row player,
without prior notice to the officials. This replacement does not count against
the substitution limit each team is allowed per set, although the libero may be
replaced only by the player whom he or she replaced. Most U.S. high schools
added the libero position from 2003 to 2005.
The modern-day libero often takes on the role of a second setter. When the
setter digs the ball, the libero is typically responsible for the second ball and
sets to the front row attacker. The libero may function as a setter only under
certain restrictions. To make an overhand set, the libero must be standing
behind (and not stepping on) the 3-meter line; otherwise, the ball cannot be
attacked above the net in front of the 3-meter line. An underhand pass is
allowed from any part of the court.
The libero is, generally, the most skilled defensive player on the team. There is
also a libero tracking sheet, where the referees or officiating team must keep
track of whom the libero subs in and out for. Under FIVB (Federation
Internationale de Volleyball) rules, two liberos are designated at the beginning
of the play, only one of whom can be on the court at any time.
Furthermore, a libero is not allowed to serve, according to international rules.
NCAA rules for both men and women differ on this point; a 2004 rule change
allows the libero to serve, but only in a specific rotation. That is, the libero can
34 | P a g e
only serve for one person, not for all of the people for whom he or she goes in.
That rule change was also applied to high school and junior high play soon
after.
SKILLS
Competitive teams master six basic skills: serve, pass, set, attack, block and
dig.[3] Each of these skills comprises a number of specific techniques that have
35 | P a g e
been introduced over the years and are now considered standard practice in
high-level volleyball.
Serve :
A player stands behind the inline and serves the ball, in an attempt to drive it
into the opponent's court. The main objective is to make it
land inside the
court; it is also desirable to set the ball's direction, speed and
acceleration so that it becomes difficult for the receiver to
handle it properly. A serve is called an "ace" when the ball
lands directly onto the court or travels outside the court after
being touched by an opponent; when the only player on the
server's team to touch the ball is the server.
In contemporary volleyball, many types of serves are employed:
Underhand: a serve in which the player strikes the ball below the waist
instead of tossing it up and striking it with an overhand throwing
motion. Underhand serves are considered very easy to receive and are
rarely employed in high-level competitions.[32]
Sky ball serve: a specific type of underhand serve occasionally used in
beach volleyball, where the ball is hit so high it comes down almost in a
straight line. This serve was invented and employed almost exclusively by
the Brazilian team in the early 1980s and is now considered outdated.
During the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, however, the sky ball
serve was extensively played by Italian beach volleyball player Adrian
Carambula. In Brazil, this serve is called Jornada nas Estrelas (Star Trek).
Topspin: an overhand serve where the player tosses the ball high and hits it
with a wrist snap, giving it top spin which causes it to drop faster than it
would otherwise and helps maintain a straight flight path. Topspin serves
are generally hit hard and aimed at a specific returner or part of the court.
Standing topspin serves are rarely used above the high school level of play.
Float: an overhand serve where the ball is hit with no spin so that its path
becomes unpredictable, akin to a knuckleball in baseball.
Jump serve: an overhand serve where the ball is first tossed high in the
air, then the player makes a timed approach and jumps to make contact
with the ball, hitting it with much pace and topspin. This is the most
popular serve among college and professional teams.[32]
Jump float: an overhand serve where the ball is tossed high enough that
36 | P a the
g e player may jump before hitting it similarly to a standing float serve.
The ball is tossed lower than a topspin jump serve, but contact is still
made while in the air. This serve is becoming more popular among
college and professional players because it has a certain unpredictability
in its flight pattern.
Pass :
court but also making it reach the position where the setter is standing quickly
and precisely.
The skill of passing involves fundamentally two specific techniques: underarm
pass, or bump, where the ball touches the inside part of the joined forearms or
platform, at waistline; and overhand pass, where it is handled with the
fingertips, like a set, above the head. Either are acceptable in professional and
beach volleyball; however, there are much tighter regulations on the overhand
pass in beach volleyball. When a player passes a ball to their setter, it's ideal
that the ball does not have a lot of spin to make it easier for the setter.
Set :
Jump set
The set is usually the second contact that a team
makes with the ball. The main goal of setting is
to put the ball in the air in such a way that it can
be driven by an attack into the opponent's court.
The setter coordinates the offensive movements
of a team, and is the player who ultimately
decides which player will actually attack the ball.
As with passing, one may distinguish between an overhand and a bump set.
Since the former allows for more control over the speed and direction of the
ball, the bump is used only when the ball is so low it cannot be properly
37 | P a g ewith fingertips, or in beach volleyball where rules regulating overhand
handled
setting are more stringent. In the case of a set, one also speaks of a front or
back set, meaning whether the ball is passed in the direction the setter is
facing or behind the setter. There is also a jump set that is used when the ball
is too close to the net. In this case, the setter usually jumps off their right foot
straight up to avoid going into the net. The setter usually stands about ⅔ of the
way from the left to the right of the net and faces the left (the larger portion of
net that the setter can see).
Sometimes a setter refrains from raising the ball for a teammate to perform an
attack and tries to play it directly onto the opponent's court. This movement is
called a "dump". This can only be performed when the setter is in the front
row, otherwise it constitutes an illegal back court attack. The most common
dumps are to 'throw' the ball behind the setter or in front of the setter to
zones 2 and 4. More experienced setters toss the ball into the deep corners or
spike the ball on the second hit.
As with a set or an overhand pass, the setter/passer must be careful to touch
the ball with both hands at the same time. If one hand is noticeably late to
touch the ball this could result in a less effective set, as well as the referee
calling a 'double hit' and giving the point to the opposing team.
Attack:
The attack, also known as the spike, is usually the third contact a team makes
with the ball. The object of attacking is to handle the ball so that it lands on the
opponent's court and cannot be defended. A player makes a series of steps
(the "approach"), jumps, and swings at the ball.
Ideally, the contact with the ball is made at the apex of the hitter's jump. At
the moment of contact, the hitter's arm is fully
extended above their head and slightly forward,
making the highest possible contact while
maintaining the ability to deliver a powerful hit.
The hitter uses arm swing, wrist snap, and a
rapid forward contraction of the entire body to
drive the ball. A 'bounce' is a slang term for a
very hard/loud spike that follows an almost
straight trajectory steeply downward into the opponent's court and bounces
very high into the air. A "kill" is the slang term for an attack that is not
returned by the other team thus resulting in a point.

Contemporary volleyball comprises a number of attacking techniques:
Block :-
Blocking refers to the actions taken by players standing at the net to stop or
alter an opponent's attack.

A block that is aimed at completely stopping an attack, thus making the ball
remain in the opponent's court, is called offensive. A well-executed offensive
block is performed by jumping and reaching to penetrate with one's arms and
hands over the net and into the opponent's area. It requires anticipating the
direction the ball will go once the attack takes place.[3] It may also require
calculating the best footwork to executing the "perfect" block.
The jump should be timed so as to intercept the ball's trajectory prior to it
crossing over the plane of the net. Palms
are held deflected downward roughly 45–
60 degrees toward the interior of the
opponents' court. A "roof" is a
spectacular offensive block that redirects
the power and speed of the attack
straight down to the attacker's floor as if
the attacker hit the ball into the
underside of a peaked house roof.
By contrast, it is called a defensive, or "soft" block if the goal is to control and
deflect the hard-driven ball up so that it slows down and becomes easier to
defend. A well-executed soft-block is performed by jumping and placing one's
hands above the net with no penetration into the opponent's court and with
the palms up and fingers pointing backwards.
Blocking is also classified according to the number of players involved. Thus,
one may speak of single (or solo), double, or triple block.
Successful blocking does not always result in a "roof" and many times does not
even touch the ball. While it is obvious that a block was a success when the
attacker is roofed, a block that consistently forces the attacker away from their
'power' or preferred attack into a more easily controlled shot by the defence is
also a highly successful block.
At the same time, the block position influences the positions where other
defenders place themselves while opponent hitters are spiking.
Dig :-
Digging is the ability to prevent the ball from touching one's court after a spike
40 |attack,
or P a g e particularly a ball that is nearly touching the ground. In many
aspects, this skill is similar to passing, or bumping: overhand dig and bump are
also used to distinguish between defensive actions taken with fingertips or
with joined arms. It varies from passing, however, in that it is a much more
reflex-based skill, especially at the higher levels. It is especially important while
digging for players to stay on their toes; several players choose to employ a
split step to make sure they're ready to move in any direction.
Some specific techniques are more common in digging than in passing. A
player may sometimes perform a "dive", i.e., throw their body in the air with a
forward movement in an attempt to save the ball, and land on their chest.
When the player also slides their hand under
a ball that is almost touching the court, this
is called a "pancake". The pancake is
frequently used in indoor volleyball, but
rarely if ever in beach volleyball because the
uneven and yielding nature of the sand court
limits the chances that the ball will make
good, clean contact with the hand. When
used correctly, it is one of the more spectacular defensive volleyball plays.
Sometimes a player may also be forced to drop their body quickly to the floor
to save the ball. In this situation, the player makes use of a specific rolling
technique to minimize the chances of injuries.
