Earthquakes in 521 and 522 AD buried the remains. Olympia was forgotten for many centuries. However, Olympia still lives due to the excavations at the site and the revival of the Ancient Olympic Games.

Question 27.

OR
Write the side effects of Cannabinoids. [3]
Answer:
The use of drugs in training and competitions is technically termed as doping. It is defined as the introduction of an artificial substance or a drug into the body to improve performance and gain advantage. The first case of doping on record is of a marathon runner Thomas Hicks, who had injected a mixture of brandy and strychnine into his body to win a gold medal in the 1904 Olympics at St. Louis in the USA.

This menace increased many folds there after and, therefore, I.A.A.F. had to ban this practice of doping in 1928. In the present times, name, fame, money, national prestige, etc. are so much involved competitions that all means appear to be justified for achieving victories. Moreover, the competitions have reached such a stage that it is felt that it is exceedingly difficult to win with normal training.
The harmful effects of doping are as under:

(1) Drugs used by sportspersons being pain killers and performance enhancers, help them to indulge in harder training to improve his/her strength and stamina. But during this training, a sportsperson may develop some permanent damage to some part of the body due to an overuse of that part. Such a damage can affect the career of a sportsperson.
(2) The behaviour of the sportspersons may be affected due to the side-effects of a drug.
(3) The sportsperson may become an addict, due to the continuous use of drugs for doping. In such a case, a sportsman can, in no case, perform well. The use of drugs by sportspersons is full of risks to their body and for this reason only, this practice is banned in sports competitions. The use of drugs can also lead to death because of the risks involved.

Side Effects of Cannabinoids:

Impaired balance and coordination
Loss of concentration
Increase in heart rate
Increased appetite
Drowsiness
Hallucination

Question 33.
What objectives are fulfilled by physical education in the all round development of an individual? [5]
Answer:
The main objectives of physical education are as follows:

(1) Physical Development: The foremost objective of physical education is physical development. It includes muscle tone, strength, good posture, endurance and development of good health habits. According to this objective, body should grow in a proper way. In fact, it is the overall development of our organic system such as nervous system, circulatory system, respiratory system, digestive system, etc. Physical activities help in developing the body. Our body is a kind of machine which grows and develops with physical activities.

Physical development improves our neuromuscular responses and leads to maximum organic development. Thus, physical activities must be performed to develop optimum growth. This objective also guides a person to make his body strong, well-shaped, good looking, good working of internal organs, good health and improves the physical personality.

(2) Mental Development: The mental level of an individual can be developed with the help of physical education. Various physical activities not only require physical strength but also need alertness of mind, deep concentration and precise movements. The study of physical education also includes understanding techniques of the game, rules and regulations, anatomical and physiological studies, balanced diet, etc. Thus physical education improves the knowledge of an individual and enables him to face and solve new situations and problems. In this way, his mental development takes place in different forms.

(3) Social Development: Man is a social animal and cannot live without society. Man is a part of society and has to follow the rules, and regulations, traditions and laws of society. Participation in the physical education activities provides opportunities for the development of desirable social traits needed for adjustment to the social life in general. This objective develops the social qualities like cooperative behavior, friendship, togetherness, honesty, obedience, sincerity, tolerance, adjustment, leadership, boldness, self-control, self-discipline, etc.

Social development helps to achieve the aim of education and physical education, i.e., to be an ideal citizen and a useful member of the society. A society can prosper in a healthy social environment and this is possible only through the programme of physical education.

(4) Emotional Development: Emotions are very important part for optimum development of man’s personality. Emotions like love, hate, anger, jealousy, pleasure, hope, fear, distress, lust, loneliness, aggressiveness, anxiety, etc., are parts of human personality. It is very important for controlling these emotions in normal conditions and under pressure. Physical education aims at attaining emotional stability from its participants.

This means that one should be able to face any type of situation. Competitions are an indispensable part of the physical education program. These competitions are characterized by success and failure. Physical education teaches students to accept both success and failure gracefully. This helps him/her in future life as he/she is able to accept success and failure in life alike.

(5) Neuro-muscular co-ordination: A better relationship between nervous system and the muscular system is the main thing of this objective. The activities of physical education provide ample opportunities for better neuro-muscular coordination. Our neuromuscular coordination is developed in various game situations. Good neuro-muscular coordination helps to keep off fatigue during vigorous activities.

The proper use of our energy can be made. If we are having good neuro-muscular co-ordination, we can use our energy properly. We get accuracy and smooth functioning of our body through physical education. Our reaction time becomes less by doing physical activities. These activities help in making efficient movements of our body. Thus, through physical activities, our neuromuscular coordination becomes efficient.

Question 34.
What are the principles for the development of physical fitness?
OR
State all the side effects of anabolic steroids. [5]
Answer:
Principles for the development of physical fitness:
(1) Specificity: The chosen program must meet the specific needs of the individual. For example, if speed is desired, speed exercises should be chosen.
(2) Tolerance: Exercise should not be too easy or too difficult to achieve. It should be within the individual’s tolerance capacity.
(3) Total body involvement: The exercise program should be designed in such a way that exercise of every part of the body is done to ensure proportionate body development.
(4) Progressive over-loading: A load of exercise should be increased step by step for the improvement of the physical fitness level of an individual. It should be progressively increased from simple to complex keeping in mind the individual’s tolerance capacity.
(5) Age and sex: Physical fitness level varies according to age and sex. The intensity and volume of fitness work should be planned separately for boys and girls and according to their growth patterns.
(6) Regularity: One has to maintain regularity in order to achieve and maintain physical fitness.
(7) Proper rest and sleep: Insufficient rest and sleep result in fatigue and has a negative effect on regularity and progression. It is suggested that a minimum of 6-8 hours of comfortable sleep must be taken in a day.
(8) Warming up: A session of thorough warming up is necessary for participating in any training program. Warming up prepares muscles and the heart for the workout. Warming up generally increases the body temperature before the strenuous workout and prevents muscle injury.
(9) Limbering down: It is also known as ‘cooling down. Limbering down promotes quicker recovery from fatigue and the individual feels fresh for the next day’s training session.
