Lecture Notes in Physical Education and Health

 Sports - This is an activity that requires physical actions and skills where individual or

teams compete under a set of rules.

*Types of Sport

 Individual Sports- one participant on each competing side

 Dual Sports- played by two competing pairs

 Team Sports- played by three or more players

* Individual or Dual sport

 Table Tennis – also called “Ping Pong”. This is played on a flat table divided into two

equal courts by a net fixed across its width at the middle. The lightweight hollow ball is

propelled back and forth across the net by small paddles held by the players.

 Badminton - Badminton is played as a singles or doubles game with one or two players

on a side. The object of the game is to hit the shuttlecock or “bird” back and forth with a

racket across a net five feet high at its center.

 Synchronized Swimming - Particular diving and jumping forms and rules. In some cases,

acrobatics while falling must be performed. 2 divers must mimic or perform opposite

diving forms, while diving simultaneously.

 Lawn Tennis - Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single

opponent or between two teams of two players each. Each player uses a tennis racket that

is strung with cord to strike a hollow rubber ball into the opponent's court.
 Billiards - Also called as cue sports. Generally played with a cue stick, which is used to

strike billiard balls and thereby cause them to move around a cloth-covered billiards table

bounded by elastic bumpers known as cushions.

* Team Sports

 Basketball - Invented by James Naismith in Springfield, Massachusetts. He came up with

a 9-on-9 game that involved shooting a ball into a peach basket. This game is played

between two teams of five players each on a rectangular court, usually indoors. Each

team tries to score by tossing the ball through the opponent’s goal, an elevated horizontal

hoop and net called a basket.

 Football - Also called as Association football or soccer. Two teams of 11 players, using

any part of their bodies except their hands and arms, try to maneuver the ball into the

opposing team’s goal. Only the goalkeeper is permitted to handle the ball and may do so

only within the penalty area surrounding the goal. The team that scores more goals wins.

 Baseball - A game played with a bat, a ball, and gloves between two teams of nine

players each. Called “rounders” in England and gained popularity in the United States in

the early 1900s. It has gone by many names in the past, including “town ball,” “goal

ball,” round ball,” and simply “base,” just to name a few.

 Volleyball - Originally known as “mintonette,” volleyball was the brainchild of

American William G. Morgan, who came up with the idea for the new sport in 1895. As a

student at the Springfield College in Massachusetts, he had befriended James Naismith

who, in 1891, had himself invented basketball. This is a game played by two teams,

usually of six players on a side, in which the players use their hands to bat a ball back and
forth over a high net, trying to make the ball touch the court within the opponents’

playing area before it can be returned.

* Skills in Playing Sport

 Technical Skills - These are basic or fundamental skills needed to play the game.

Examples of Technical Skills: In basketball (dribbling, passing, and shooting). In

volleyball (ball reception, attacking/spiking, and setting)

 Tactical Skills - These are the decision-making skills or strategies used in different

situations during the game. A basic example is the use of quick pass and movement

against a taller but slower opponent in basketball -The use of tactical decision during a

game is called game sense.
