Introduction
In the modern world every differently abled individual has the right to participate in the program
of physical education and sports. The phrase ‘differently abled’ was first proposed in 1980s as an
alternative to terms like ‘disabled’, ‘handicapped’, etc. on the grounds that it gave a more positive
message to the society and to avoid discrimination. Disability and disorder are two separate terms
that stand for different types of physical and mental conditions. Disability, whether it is physical or
mental, is permanent in nature but a disorder can be temporary or permanent.

Traditional Sports & Regional Games for promoting wellness

Za k
1. The origin of sports and games dates to the inception of the society. Some games originated from
sheer need of survival e.g., Archery, and some for the need of social interaction e.g., Antakshari.
2. The desire to express emotions laid a strong foundation in the origin of different dance forms and
traditional games. These games are the reflection of the beliefs and the culture of the society. India has
always been a land of sports and games.
3. Many games and sports that originated in our country, have their distinct regional identity, and are
now played in many countries.
4. India’s sports history dates to the Mahabharata period where games like chaupar and archery were
very famous. Many studies also suggest that India invented many games according to the availability of
resources and the demography of the region, for example the boat race known as Vallamkali is very
famous in Kerala and till date it is organised every year on the occasion of Onam.

Types of traditional sports & Regional games


1. Board games: Early natives of our region developed two major board games which are still played by
the whole world. First is chaupar which is the origin of ludo and the other one is Shatranj which is now
known as chess
2. Games involving help of animals: Animals have always been an integral part of many cultures and
societies. Their use for showing athletic skills has been a base for many sports. Horse riding is an
ancient sport which was popular around the world for centuries but their inclusion in games in India
came with polo which is still being played today.
3. Team Games: Team games encourage a sense of belongingness in an individual and some team games
also originated in India. e.g., Kho-Kho and Kabaddi are the games which are believed to have originated
in India.
4. Play Games: Some games are played by children in their early childhood which are an integral part of
our culture and roots. e.g., Gilli Danda,Atya Patya, which has a mention in Tamil literature is played in
different part of the country with different names.
5. Indian gymnastics: Mallakhamb which originated in Maharashtra, which literally means malla, or
gymnastics and khamb, or a pole. Thus, mallakhamb means gymnastics on a pole.

Test Administration in PE

Physical fitness test administration provides all the necessary information that is
required to create and plan a proper fitness program for an individual. It essentially
tests five components which are described below:
1. Cardiovascular Endurance: It is the ability to exercise the entire body for long
periods of time. It requires a strong heart, healthy lungs, and clear blood vessels that
supplies the body with oxygen. In other words, it is the body’s ability to keep up with
exercises like running, jogging, swimming, cycling, etc. Various tests that measure the
cardiovascular endurance includes Endurance Run/Walk (1 mile), Harvard Step Test, 12
Minute Cooper Test, etc.

r
2. Muscular Strength It is the amount of force put forth by individual’s muscles. It

a
measures the ‘power’ that helps an individual to lift and carry heavy objects. It is

g
often measured by how much weight a person can lift. Various tests for muscular

a
strength include doing partial push-ups, pull-ups, weightlifting with few repetitions,
etc.

u d
3. Muscular Endurance It is the ability to use the muscles, which are attached to the

Sa
bones, many times without getting tired. In other words, it refers to the ability to
perform muscular exercise for longer duration without getting tired. It’s measuring

i
includes number of sit-ups a person can do correctly, push-ups, pull-ups.

k
4. Flexibility It is the ability to use your joints fully or in other words, it is the range of

Za
movements of joints. The Sit and Reach Test, the V-test method, Floor Touch Test, Toe
Touch Test, etc. are some of the tests used to measure flexibility.
5. Body Composition It is the percentage of body weight, i.e. fat compared to other
body tissue, such as bone, muscle, ligament, etc. An individual’s body composition can
be measured using an instrument called calipers, a specialised scale or it can be
calculated by Body Mass Index (BMI) which uses height and weight, and WHR.

Importance of Test, Measurements & Evaluation


in Sports.
1. Classification of sportsperson: Test helps to classify the sportsmen of various groups by testing their
capacities and present level of fitness.
2. Selection of sportsperson: Tests are used to select participants for various categories of sports activities
based on their selection criteria
3. Training effects: The progress of sports training and physical fitness program can be evaluated with the
help of scientific measurement and evaluation procedure
4. The individualisation of the training program: The measurement and evaluation process helps to diagnose
the weakness or needs of the students, based on this training schedule.
5. The motivation of sportsperson: Test, measurement and evaluation are highly associated with self-
involvement of students. Thus create interest among students and motivate them towards fitness programs.
6. To achieve goals & objectives specifically: It helps students to find out whether the specific goal and
objectives have been achieved.
7. To study the development of a sportsperson: It helps to check the development of neuromuscular,
interpretive, social and emotional aspects of an individual.
8. To prepare standards & norms: The measurement and evaluation process is used to conduct standards or
norms.
9. To predict performance: The evaluation process helps to predict future performance potential.
10. To compare & evaluate trading methods: This enables the coach to compare different training methods
suitable for different groups.
11. To conduct research work: Measurement and evaluation are very helpful to research work.

Measurements of health-related fitness


Anthropometric Measurement : It is the measurements of height, weight, arm, leg
length, waist circumference and skin folds of a different part of body etc.
Anthropometric measurements play an important role in the selection of activities. It is
used for understanding human physical variation and attempt to correlate physical and
psychological traits.
1. Height: Height must be measured using a stadiometer to the nearest half of a
centimetre.
2. Weight: Standard weighing machine should be used to measure weight. Measurement
must be recorded to the nearest 0.1 kg.
3. Arm length: Measurement should be done from the shoulder to the tip of the little
finger.

r
4. Upper arm length: Measurement should be done from shoulder to elbow. Before
measuring the arm should be bent 90 degrees at the elbow with the palm facing

a
upwards.

g
5. Leg length:Measurement should be done from the outside edge of the centre of

a
the foot to the upper edge of the hip.

Anatomy
1. The word ‘Anatomy’ is derived from a Greek word ‘anatome’ which means ‘to dissect’ or ‘to cut apart’.
2. According to its meaning, anatomy is a branch of biology which deals with the identification and
description of internal body structure of an organism or living being.
3. In other words, it is a dissection or a detailed analysis of the structure shape, size, weight and
location of all organs of a human body.
Physiology
1. The word ‘Physiology’ consists of two words ‘physio’ which means ‘nature’ and ‘ology’ meaning ‘study’.
2. Physiology can be defined as a branch of biology which deals with the functions and activities of all
the systems of the human body and their mutual relationships.

r
3. In fact, it is the study of all mechanical, physical and biochemical processes that support the human

a
body and its functioning. In this field, one studies the functions of the various organ systems, organ
cells & the biomolecules that allow a living organism to survive, grow, and develop.

Skeleton System
Human body is made up of a framework consisting of many large Functions of the Skeletal System
and small bones called a skeleton. 1. Protection
This skeleton consists of 206 bones as well as a network of
tendons, ligaments & cartilages that connect them together, & this 2. Support
system of the body is called skeletal system. 3. Movement
The skeletal system can be mainly classified into two categories 4. Production of Blood Cells
which are as follows : 5. Mineral Storage
1. Axial Skeleton Consists the bones such as Skull (28), Sternum 6. Attachment of Muscles
(1), Ribs (24), Hyoid bone (1) and Vertebral column (26).
2. Appendicular Skeleton Consists bones in the upper limbs (64)
and lower limbs (62).
Classification of Bones
1. Long Bones: These bones are found mainly in the upper & lower limbs, and
act as a lever in our body which helps in making movements possible.
2. Short Bones: A short bone is one that is cube-like in shape, being
approximately equal in length, width and thickness. Short bones provide
stability and support as well as some amount of motion.
3. Flat Bones: Flat bones are thin, flattened and usually curved. They provide a
large surface for muscle attachments & protect internal organs.
4. Sesamoid Bones: These are small, round bones shaped like a sesame seed.
These bones are found in tendons where a great deal of pressure is generated
in a joint. The sesamoid bones protect tendons by helping them overcome
compressive forces. They vary in number & placement from person to person,
but are typically found in tendons associated with the feet, hands and
knees.

Joints
1. The bones present in our body are joined by a network of tendons, ligaments and cartilages.
2. The junction at which two or more bones are joined is called a joint.
3. It is mainly a mechanism of movements in a hard and rigid skeleton.

Types of Joints
1. Immovable or Fibrous Joint: These are fixed joints, there are no
movements, like the
2. Slightly movable or Cartilaginous Joint: These joints are slightly
movable like vertebrae.

r
3. Freely movable or Synovial Joints: These joints can move to a
great extent. These are covered by thin membranes and filled with

a
synovial fluid which acts as a greasing agent.

g
These joints are of various types

a
• Ball and socket joint (Shoulder and Hip joint)

i
Respiratory System

Za k
1. The respiratory system is the body of organs that are involved in the process of breathing, commonly
known as respiration.
2. In the process of respiration, we take Oxygen (O2) from the environment and give out Carbon Dioxide
(CO2), a waste product, that is produced as a result of chemical changes within the cells of our body.
3.

Types of Respiration
1. External Respiration: Inhalation and exhalation are the processes of
external respiration.In this process, we inhale oxygen which goes to
different parts of the body, and exhale carbon dioxide which diffuses
from the blood.
2. Internal Respiration: This process of respiration takes place in
tissues and cells, where oxygen gets used during energy production.

Mechanism of R.S.
When we breathe in, muscles across the ribs
contract, it pulls ribs upward and sideward. At the
same time, the muscles of the diaphragm contract
and flatten.
Thus, the size of the lungs increases, and there is
an increase in volume. Due to this process, low
pressure develops in the lungs, so air gets inside
through the nose.
Breathing out occurs when the muscles of the
diaphragm and ribs relax. By this process, space is
reduced and there is a decrease in volume of lungs,
thus high pressure develops in the lungs so air is
pushed out.

Unit 7 | Test & Measurement in Sports

Muscular System
1. Muscles are soft tissues. Many stretchy fibers make up your muscles.
2. There are about 600 muscles in the human body.
3. The three main types of muscle include skeletal, smooth and cardiac.
4. The brain, nerves and skeletal muscles work together to cause
movement – this is collectively known as the neuromuscular system
Function of Muscle
1. Movement: Our body's skeleton gives enough rigidity to our body that skeletal muscles can yank and
pull on it, resulting in body movements such as walking, chewing, running, lifting, manipulating objects
with our hands, and picking our noses.
2. Maintenance of posture: Without much conscious control, our muscles generate a constant contractile

r
force that allows us to maintain an erect or seated position, or posture.

a
3. Respiration: Our muscular system automatically drives movement of air into and out of our body.

g
4. Heat generation: Contraction of muscle tissue generates heat, which is essential for maintenance of

a
temperature homeostasis. For instance, if our core body temperature falls, we shiver to generate more
heat.

d
5. Communication: Muscle tissue allows us to talk, gesture, write, and convey our emotional state by

u
doing such things as smiling or frowning.

a
6. Construction of organs and blood vessels: Nutrients move through our digestive tract, urine is passed

S
out of the body, and secretions are propelled out of glands by contraction of smooth muscle.

i
Constriction or relaxation of blood vessels regulates blood pressure and blood distribution throughout

k
the body.

a
7. Pumping blood: Blood moves through the blood vessels because our heart tirelessly receives blood and

Z
delivers it to all body tissues and organs.
Properties of Muscles
All muscle cells share several properties: contractility,
excitability, extensibility, and elasticity:
1. Contractility is the ability of muscle cells to forcefully
shorten. For instance, in order to flex (decrease the angle of a
joint) your elbow you need to contract (shorten) the biceps
brachii and other elbow flexor muscles in the anterior arm.
Notice that in order to extend your elbow, the posterior arm
extensor muscles need to contract. Thus, muscles can only pull,
never push.
2. Excitability is the ability to respond to a stimulus, which may
be delivered from a motor neuron or a hormone.
3. Extensibility is the ability of a muscle to be stretched. For
instance, let's reconsider our elbow flexing motion we discussed
earlier. In order to be able to flex the elbow, the elbow extensor
muscles must extend in order to allow flexion to occur. Lack of
extensibility is known as spasticity.
4. Elasticity is the ability to recoil or bounce back to the
muscle's original length after being stretched.

Circulatory System
1. The circulatory system is also known as the cardiovascular or the vascular system.
2. It is a group of organs that circulates bloods and transports nutrients such as amino acids,
electrolytes, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hormones and blood cells to and from all the parts of the body.
3. It is a vast network of organs and blood vessels that acts both as a delivery and waste removal system
for the body.
Copyright © Zaki Saudagar Platform

Unit 7 | Test & Measurement in Sports

The circulatory system is divided into two separate


loops, that are as follows
1. Pulmonary Circuit: It exchanges blood between the
heart and lungs for oxygenation.
2. Systematic Circuit: It distributes blood
throughout all the other systems and tissues of the
body.

Heart
Heart :It is a hollow, muscular cone-shaped
organ without which we cannot survive. As

r
the only organ of the circulatory organ, the

a
heart is responsible for pumping blood

g
throughout the body.

a
Heart is located just under the rib cage,
between the lungs, inclined towards the left,

d
and is about the size of a closed fist which Structure of Heart

u
weighs about 300gms. In a day, the heart

Sa
beats about 15,200 times. Structure of the Heart The heart is enclosed in an outer
layer called the pericardium. Under this layer, the heart
muscles called the ‘myocardium’ is situated. The heart is

i
divided into two sides/parts by a septum. Each side is

k
further sub-divided into two chambers. The upper

Za
chambers are called atrium or auricles and the lower
chambers are called ventricles. Therefore, the heart is
divided in four chambers. They are as follows:
1. Right Atrium It receives blood containing carbon dioxide
from the veins and passes it to the right ventricle.
2. Right Ventricle It receives blood from the right atrium
and pumps it to the lungs, where carbon dioxide is
removed from it and it is loaded with oxygen.
3. Left Atrium It receives oxygenated blood from the lungs
and passes it to the left ventricle.
4. Left Ventricle It is the strongest chamber and pumps
oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body. The left
ventricle’s vigorous contractions create what we know as
the blood pressure.
Blood & Blood Vessel
Blood It is a specialised body fluid that actually performs the function of the circulatory system. It
delivers the necessary nutrients and oxygen to the tissues and organs of the body.
Blood Vessel: These are the passages that allow blood to flow quickly from the heart to every region of
the body and back again. The size of blood vessels corresponds to the amount of blood that passes
through them.
i) Arteries: These are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. Blood carried by arteries is
oxygenated, except pulmonary artery that carries deoxygenated blood.
ii) Veins: These are the blood vessels that carry blood from various body parts towards the heart. Very
similar to arteries, veins are much thinner, less elastic and less muscular than the arteries. They tend
to collapse when not filled with blood.
iii) Capillaries These are the smallest, thinnest and most common type of blood vessels in the body.
Capillaries connect to arterioles on one end and venules on the other.

Unit 7 | Test & Measurement in Sports

Functions of Circulatory System


1. Transportation: It transports blood to almost all of the body’s tissues. The blood delivers essential
nutrients and oxygen into the cells of the body. It removes wastes and CO2 from the body. Hormones
are transported throughout the body via the blood’s liquid plasma.
This process of transportation takes place through two seperate circulatory processes as discussed
below
(i) Pulmonary Circulation It allows the oxygenation of the blood. The blood flows from right side of the
heart through pulmonary artery to the lungs where the blood is oxygenated and CO2 is removed. This
blood then comes back to left side of the heart through pulmonary veins.
(ii) Systematic Circulation It allows circulation of the oxygenated blood between heart and body’s

r
tissues. The left side of the heart, after receiving oxygenated blood, pumps it out through the aorta to

a
all the body parts. After deoxygenation of blood, it goes back to the right side of the heart through

g
superior and inferior vena cava.

d a
2. Protection: It protects the body from various diseases. The WBCs clean up cellular debris and fight
pathogens that have entered the body. Platelets and red blood cells form scabs (known as ‘blood clots’)

u
to seal wounds and prevent pathogens from entering the body and liquids from leaking out.

Sa
3. Regulation: It is an instrument in the body to maintain homeostatic control of several internal

i
conditions. Blood vessels help maintain a stable body temperature by controlling the blood flow to the

k
surface of the skin.

Za
4. Nutrition: The circulatory system carries the nutrients and essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids
as well as glucose to all parts of the body. As the blood goes through the small intestine, these
nutrients enters the blood stream for its further use.

Unit 8 | Fundamentals Of Kinesiology & Biomechanics in Sports

Kinesiology
1. The word ‘Kinesiology’ has been derived from the Greek words, ‘Kinesis’ which means ‘movement’ and
‘ology’ meaning ‘study’. Accordingly, kinesiology can be defined as a science that deals with the
organisation system of information related to motion.
2. In other words, this field of science studies the mechanics and anatomy of a human body in relation
to human motion.

Biomechanics
1. Biomechanics is derived from the combination of two words i.e. ‘bio’ means living thing and
‘mechanics’, which is a field of physics and the forces that act on bodies in motion.

r
2. Therefore, it can be defined as the study of the movement of living things using the science of

Adolescence (10 to 21 Years)


1. The word ‘Adolescence’ has its root in the Latin word ‘Adolesceker’ which means to grow to
maturity. So, adolescence means ‘to move on to attain maturity’.
2. According to Stanley Hall, “Adolescence is the period of extreme stress and strain, revolt and
storm.” 3. According to Jersild, “Adolescence is the period through which a growing child makes
transition from childhood to adulthood.”
In the age of adolescence, changes happen in the physical, mental, emotional and social spheres of
young people. Because of this, they face many problems. Some of them are:

Adolescent Problems
1. Independency: At this age, teenagers like to do tasks independently, but the problem happens when parents
don’t accept their maturity.
2. Problems of Physical Development: Rapid physical development happens in this age
3. Emotional Problems: In this phase of life, emotions are at the peak and seem imbalanced. Teenagers
experience enormous mood swings. Sometimes, they finish a task emotionally and immediately.
4. Problem of Adjustment: At this age, due to emotionalinstability, teenagers face adjustment problems in
friend circle, society and family.
5. The Problems of Behaviour: Adolescence is a period of nervousness, revolt and the enthusiasm to accomplish
major tasks.
6. Social Problems: Every society has different culture, customs, rituals, etc. Adolescents want autonomy in
their thoughts and the tasks they do.
7. Problems of Self-support: In this span of years, teenagers want to get independent by self-support. They
want to establish their reputation in the society. But they face lots of problems from which they get
frustrated.
8. Problems of Addiction: In this phase, the level of excitement of the mind is on the peak. Due to over-
excitement, adolescents sometimes consume drugs or alcoholic drinks due to bad influence/company.

Unit 9 | Psychology and Sports

Management of Adolescent Problems


1. Proper Environment: Proper environment means to provide favourable and positive environment, according to
the needs of adolescents and to guide them.
2. Vocational Guidance: Vocational guidance should be given to the adolescents as per their abilities, needs,
interests and personality.
3. Psychological Knowledge: Using psychological knowledge, we can orient them to face the problems of this age,
and to suggest them various ways to curb their emotions. Debate and discussion can be organised among
students (adolescents) to help them gain control over their emotions.
4. Creative Development: Level of energy is high in this age, but this energy should be used in creative
activities. For this, various constructive and creative programmes of physical education and vocational guidance
can be helpful.
5. Organising Recreational and Cultural Activities: In this phase of life, adolescents can create their own
identity. Recreational and cultural activities are helpful to give them opportunities to create their own identity.

r
6. Knowledge of Practicality: In this phase of life, imagination is at a high level in adolescents, as they prepare

a
themselves to achieve their goals.

g
7. Information of Abuse of Drugs: In this age, due to frustration or excitement, the youth consume drugs or
alcoholic substances. Information regarding bad effects of drugs/alcohol drinks should also be provided through

a
documentaries movies, etc.

d
8. Social Education: Our religion, social rituals, customs, beliefs and myths have been handed over to us by our

u
ancestors. Indian culture is based on ancient philosophy. However, they have to be carefully analysed and then
only accepted.

Sa
9. Sex Education: Sex education should be included in the schools. Human beings are curious to fulfil their
desires and curiosity. When adolescents are not provided proper guidance, they find wrong ways to fulfil their

i
curiosity.

Team Cohesion and Sports
1. Team cohesion is a dynamic process which reflected in the
tendency for a group to stick together & remain united in the
pursuit of goals and objectives. It is essentially how well a
team works together & is crucial for a sports team to be
successful.
2. Successful team cohesion in sports is influenced by
individuals view of their team & the objective set out to
achieve.
3. Team cohesion is useful as it can both improve
performance and motivation of a team. If a team work well
together, this improves their team cohesion, this in turn
improves performance. This then improves personal
satisfaction.

Steps to Improve Team Cohesion


Below are the key steps to what you can do to establish and
improve team cohesion
● Set team goals
● Set individual goals
● Provide feedback to individuals as well as a team
● Listen to your athletes/players feedback
● Work together to achieve the goal
● Reward effort and performance
● Recognise improvement
● Establish an environment for success by setting
expectations and professionalism.

Training
The word ‘training’ means the process of preparation for some task. It is a process by which one gains
practical and theoretical knowledge. Training in sports means the preparation of a sportsperson based
on the scientific principles for giving the highest level of performance. It is a specialised process of all-
round physical strengthening aimed at improving an athlete’s fitness in a selected activity.
According to Martin, ‘‘Sports training is a planned and controlled process of achieving goals in which the
changes of motor performance and behaviour are made through measures of content, methods and
organisation.”

Training Load
In sports training, the load is a major concern. Efforts should be made so that possible work can be
done with minimum effort. Load is defined as the amount of work done by an individual's body. It is the
psychological & phsiological demand put on the body parts through motor stimuli resulting in
improvement & maintenance of higher performance capacity. Sports training consists of physical
exercises.

Overload
During training of sports persons, load is given to the players according to their capacity. Whenever this
load goes beyond the capacity of an individual, the physiological and psychological functions get
disturbed. Though this increased load does not affect the sports person immediately, if the
administration of the overload continues for a longer period, it results in decrease of his/her
performance. The important signs and symptoms of over load are fatigue, decline in performance, loss of
interest in sports, loss of concentration, lack of motivation, sleep disorder, loss of appetite and prone to
injuries.

Adaptation
Adaptation is defined as the adjustment of physical and psychological functional systems to the training
load. Adaptation to a load results in the enhancement of performance capacity. Thus, a sports person is
able to increase his/her performance as a result of adaptation process.
Adaptation process demands that a sportsperson maintains regularity in training. If a sportsperson is
exposed to new and unfamiliar load in a systematic planned way the adaptation process will be faster.

Recovery
Recovery is the ability to meet or exceed performance in a particular activity. Recovery may include an
active component (such as a post-workout walk) and/or a passive component (such as a post-workout

hydrotherary treatment).

Warming Up
Warming up is a series of light exercises that are performed prior to any training or competition.
Through a series of exercises, players are physically and mentally prepared for training or competition.
– Warming up is a practice in itself.
– Warming up is an exercise by which a person is prepared to work physically, mentally & psychologically.
– Warming up is a process in which nerve impulses immediately respond to efficient action.
– Warming up is a series of preparatory exercises that are performed prior to training or competition.
– Warming up is a series of those exercises which help to raise body temperature, muscular power & speed.

Types of Warming-Up
1. General Warming Up: General warming up includes running,
jumping, bending, stretching, etc. It helps to enhance
flexibility and co-ordination ability of the muscles. It also
improves muscle tone. The need and amount of warming up
depends on the individual.
2. Specific Warming Up: Specific warming up is done just
after general warming up. Various tools/ instruments are
used for this. It varies from activity to activity like practice
of passing and dribbling in hockey before actual play, practice
of catching before cricket, etc. Specific warming up improves
co-ordination ability. Specific warming up incorporates
exercises keeping in mind the skill to be played.

Down’. It is a setup of exercises which are performed after the competition or activity. It is done at the end of
the activity. Limbering down consists of very simple exercises at a slow pace like slow jogging, slow stretching
exercise and deep breathing exercise at the end. By cooling down, the body temperature is slowly brought to
normal which is raised during activity.
Limbering down reduces fatigue level, relaxes the body and reduces pain.
There are certain advantage or importance of Limbering down :-
1 Body temperature become normal
2 Proper removal of waste product
3 Decrease in tension
4 Reduces the chances of dizziness or fainting
5 Decrease in the level of adrenaline in the blood

Doping

k i
The word ‘doping’ refers to the use of drugs in the field of sports to enhance the physical capacity of

Za
sportspersons. In general, it is the use of performance enhancing substances by the athletes or sportspersons
to gain an advantage over competitors.
Doping is the use of performance-enhancing drugs in sports to improve performance of athletes. It is using
prohibited substances or methods to improve sports performance.
The use of drugs to enhance performance is considered unethical and banned by the International Olympic
Committee.
IOC wants dope free clean sports for all. Reasons for the ban are mainly due to health risk and equal
opportunity for athletes to compete.
Doping methods harm the health of athletes which might be fatal. Doping in sports is taken during training or
competition day.

Classification of Doping
1. Stimulants: Amphetamines, caffeine
2. Narcotics: Morphine, Opium, Heroin, Cocaine
3. Steroids: Anabolic steroids, estradiol, Testosterone, Anti-
inflammatory
4. Growth Hormone: Somatotropin, Peptide hormone
5. Beta-Blocker: Beta-adrenergic, Beta-antagonist
6. Diuretics: Acetazolamide, Aspirin

Important Notes:
1. Drug Administration: There are various types of drugs that can be used by athletes to enhance
performance.
2. Blood Doping: It is the process of increasing Red Blood Cell by the administration of blood transfusion.
Increasing the amount of RBC helps in strength and endurance activities. This can be done by injecting extra
RBC either from donors or previously harvested blood.
3. Gene Doping: It is the modification of genes to enhance performance. It is altering the individual human DNA
index.

idea that shortcuts and cheating are acceptable to achieve success.

Sa u
7. Diminished Sporting Achievements: Doping diminishes genuine sporting achievements and undermines the
hard work and dedication of clean athletes.

Za k i Prohibited Substances & Their Side Effect

1. Stimulants: Stimulants are chemicals which have a direct effect over the central nervous system. These
drugs improve work output by reducing the feeling of fatigue and increasing alertness.
Examples of these drugs are caffeine, amphetamines, and ephedrine.
2. Narcotics: Narcotics are good pain killers, these substances are used to treat moderate to severe pain.
They are used during training periods to remove the feeling of restlessness and tiredness. Examples are
Morphine, Opium, Heroin, cocaine, etc.
3. Steroids: Steroids promote growth and healing processes. They increase the heart rate, body
temperature, muscle mass, blood circulation, etc. Examples are anabolic steroids, estradiol, testosterone, etc
4. Growth Hormone: These are usually animal hormones used for increasing the muscle mass, height, and
size of the body. Examples are somatotropin, peptic hormone, etc.
5. Beta-blockers: These are anxiety-reducing agents which are used in games that involve concentration
and risk. They reduce anxiety, lower the heart rate, reduce body temperature, reduce stress, relax Muscles,
etc. Examples are beta-adrenergic, beta-antagonist.
6. Diuretics: These drugs eliminate fluid from the body. The person reduces body weight in a very short
