Strength: Strength component has varied subtypes like maximum strength, Explosive strength, Strength, Endurance etc. Each has different types of exercise, intensity and duration so physiological factors vary. In games like weightlifting, jumps, sprint or power, agility and strength-dominating sports where force production is high, fatigue is quick, and fast twitch fibre percentage must be high in muscles. ATP-CP system or anaerobic system works to produce energy for strength training. Stroke volume (the volume of blood pumped out of the Left ventricle of the heart during each systolic cardiac contraction) is a vital parameter as far as cardiovascular system is concerned.

(5) This action is repeated for 25 full cycles (50 tops).

Question 36.
Define flexibility along with its types. Explain any two methods used to develop flexibility. [5]
Answer:

Explanation: Flexibility is the ability of a joint or series of joints to move through an unrestricted, pain-free range of motion.

(1) Active flexibility: The ability of an individual to do the joint movement for a longer range without any external help. E.g., doing any stretching exercise without external help. It is of two kinds:

Static Flexibility: It is usually required by a sports person when he remains in static position e.g., diving setting lying.
Dynamic flexibility: It is needed for walking and running.

(2) Passive flexibility: The ability to do joint movement with a greater range with an external help of partner. This flexibility is mainly determined by joint structure, stretchability of muscle and legoment. It helps in the development of active flexibility.

Method to improve flexibility:

(1) Ballistic Stretching: The individual performs these stretching exercises while in motion. This dynamic method uses the momentum generated from repeated bouncing movements to stretch the muscles. This method includes various exercises like swinging the trunk sidewards forwards, backward, swinging the legs etc.

(2) Static Stretching: It is an extremely popular and effective technique. Which involves gently and slowly moving into the stretch position and holding it for a certain period of time. Movement should take place through the full range of motion until a little tension or tightness is felt in the muscles or group of muscles. As the muscle releases, the stretch should be extended and held again. Stretching should be held from 10 to 30 seconds and a maximum of give repetitions for each exercise.

Question 37.
Define Projectile and explain any two factors affecting projectile with the help of examples from sports. [5]
Answer:
Factors Affecting Projectile Trajectory:
• Initial velocity
• Angle of projection
• Projection height relevant to the landing surface
• Air resistance
• Surface area of the projectile
• Surface-to-volume ratio
• Mass
• Velocity
• Gravity
• Spin

Explanation: An object thrown into space either horizontally or an acute angle under the action under gravity is called a projectile. There are forces which act on a projectile gravitational force and air resistance. The factors affecting projectile trajectory are:

(1) The angle of projection: An object which is projected at different angles covers different distances. When it is projected or released at an angle of 30, making it a parabolic path and covers lesser distance. When it is projected at 60, it covers a distance of less than 30. When it is released at an angle of 45, makes a parabolic path and covers maximum distance. So, the distance covered by an object (shot, put, hammer, javelin, discuss etc. depends on the angle of release of projectile.)

(2) Gravity: Gravity acts on a body or object to give it mass. The greater the weight of an object, the greater the influence of gravity upon it. Gravity will effect a projectile as well as it will decrease the height, the projectile can obtain. For example, a cricket ball can be thrown at a greater distance in comparison to shot put.
