He said that these games would enable to strengthen of amateur sports to develop everlasting qualities for modern education.

Later in June 1894, in the International Conference of Amateur Sports in Paris passed the resolution to create International Olympic Committee (IOC), to observe the conduct of the Modern Olympic Games. Coubertin planned to propose the site of the first Modern Olympic Games in 1900 in Paris. But the zeal of the delegates was so much that they insisted the first games to be held in 1896 at Athens. Since then, these games were held after every four years. The honor of holding the Modern Olympic Games is entrusted to city and not to a country or region. The choice of city for the celebration is with IOC.

Question 24.
What is the importance of muscular endurance? [3]
Answer:
Muscular endurance is the bridge between muscular strength and cardiovascular endurance. In order to have a fit cardiovascular system, one must demonstrate muscular endurance. While muscle strength deals primarily with fast-twitch Type II muscle fibers, muscular endurance deals with primarily slow-twitch Type I muscle fibers. The human body contains both types of fibers, but only anaerobic exercises which last longer than 15 seconds and less than 90 seconds strengthen the Type I muscle fibers.

Question 25.

How would you administer the Body Mass Index (BMI)? Give example also. [3]
Answer:
Test Administration: In this test, the index of the health and fitness abilities of the individual is based on the relationship between height and weight. Here, height is considered in meters and centimeters; weight is considered in kilograms and grams. BMI is calculated by taking a person’s weight (in kg and g) and dividing it by height (m and cm) square, i.e., Weight÷(height x height).
Example: For instance, if your height is 1.65 m the divisor of the calculation will be (1.65 * 1.65) = 2.7225, and if your weight is 50.5 kg then your BMI is (50.5÷2.7225) = 18.54

Question 28.
Explain external and internal respiration. [3]
Answer:
External Respiration: External respiration is exchange of gases between the air filling the alveoli and the blood in the capillaries surrounding the walls of the alveoli. Air entering the lungs from the atmosphere has a higher partial pressure of oxygen and a lower partial pressure of carbon dioxide than does the blood in the capillaries. The difference in partial pressures causes the gases to diffuse passively along their pressure gradients from high to low pressure through the simple squamous epithelium lining of the alveoli.

The net result of external respiration is the movement of oxygen from the air into the blood and the movement of carbon dioxide from blood into the air. The oxygen can then be transported to the body’s tissues while carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere during exhalation.

Internal Respiration: Internal respiration is the exchange of gases between the blood in capillaries and the tissues of the body. Capillary blood has a higher partial pressure of oxygen and a lower partial pressure of carbon dioxide than the tissues through which it passes. The difference in partial pressures leads to the diffusion of gases along their pressure gradients from high to low pressure through the endothelium lining of the capillaries. The net of internal respiration is the diffusion of oxygen into the tissues and the diffusion of carbon dioxide into the blood.

Question 29.
What is excellence? [3]
Answer:
Excellence means doing the best we can, on the field of play or in our professional life. The important thing is not winning, but taking part, making progress, and enjoying the healthy combination of body, will, and mind.

Sports provide an opportunity to players to become the best or to make healthy choices in safe social and physical surroundings. A healthy, clean and safe community makes the welfare of young people its number one priority.

Question 30.
Classify the harmful drugs. [3]
Answer:
Drugs are beneficial to mankind when used properly under strict medical advice but some drugs are harmful when misused or used excessively for non-medical purposes. The drugs whose misuse can be harmful are classified into the following four categories:

(1) Narcotics: Drugs under this category produce drowsiness, sleep, and numbing effect on muscles. Novocaine, Codeine and Morphine are the main drugs of this group. Novocaine is used by dentists as local anesthesia (pain killer) for tooth extraction purposes. Morphine is also used as, pain killer cases of severe or unbearable pain. Codeine is generally used in cough syrups. These medicines, when misused, can lead to addiction and can also be fatal in excessive doses.

(2) Depressants/Sedatives: These are used for muscular relaxation and to reduce tension resulting from anxiety. This group contains Bromides and Barbiturates. Barbiturate groups of sedative drugs are derived from barbituric acid which is a combination of malonic acid and urea. These medicines can lead to coma or even death when taken in large doses.

(3) Stimulants: Such drugs cause excitement and result in the loss of sleep. The excitement is for a short time with the accompanying loss of appetite. In this category come to Amphetamines. Medically, these are used in depression. When taken regularly, they can lead to addiction.

(4) Hallucinogens: Various forms of hallucinogens are L.S.D., Heroin, Ganja, etc. Such drugs cause hallucinations or illusions because these drugs influence one’s mental and visual faculties.

Describe the skeletal system of the human body. Highlight the effects of exercise on it. [5]
Answer:
Skeletal or Bony System: This system consists of a large number of bones that form a structure called a skeleton. The skeleton serves the purpose of a strong framework for the attachment of various muscles of our body and also serves as a source of protection for important organs of our body, such as the brain, heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. It gives shape to the body. Its bones serve as levers in doing work. These bones are connected together to form joints. Joints are held firmly together by strong white fibrous bands called ligaments. Joints: The joints of the body can be classified into three main categories, i.e.
(1) Immovable joints as in the skull,
(2) Slightly movable joints such as between the bodies of the vertebrae, and
(3) Freely movable joints, such as shoulder, hip joints, etc. These joints enable us to perform movements like:

• Flexion and Extension
• Rotation
• Elevation and Depression
• Abduction and Adduction

The movements of the body are performed by the bones with the help of muscles that are attached to them. Effects of Exercise on the Skeleton System: During exercise, bones have to be moved to various positions. These movements are made possible due to the provision of joints in the body. Therefore, during exercise, the joints have to bear a lot of stress, which puts a lot of strain on its ligaments which exert a binding force, and the cartilages, which are the paddings in between the bones.

This strain is borne by the ligaments and cartilages up to a certain limit but when the strain exceeds a limit, these get injured. Excessive strain can also cause the fracture of a bone. Due to the injury of ligaments or cartilages or both ligaments and cartilages, the malfunctioning of the joints takes place. It leads to pain and swelling in the area. If this malfunction is allowed to continue for a long time, it can lead to a deformity of the joint.

Effects of Regular Exercise: The effects of regular exercise over a considerable period of time can be enumerated as under:
(1) As exercise imposes stress upon the tissues of the skeletal system, then in turn these tissues become stronger.
(2) The hyaline cartilage at the end of the bones becomes thicker and better at shock absorption.
(3) Tendons become thicker and able to withstand greater force
(4) Ligaments stretch slightly to enable greater flexibility at the joint.
(5) Exercise helps the skeleton to move freely and smoothly; it improves the flexibility of joints.
(6) There will not be a postural defect on the body. Exercise helps the bones and joints at accurate positions. It helps to improve the deformity of the body.
(7) Regular exercise improves blood cell production which reduces the risk of bone cancer.
