cause pain in the foot during running and walking.
22. Muscle Hypertrophy: Hypertrophy is an increase in width of individual muscle fibres. The size of the muscle fibre is
usually responsible for gain in strength and muscular endurance. Weight training causes the hypertrophy of muscles.
23. Posture: Posture varies from individual to individual. Posture means position or pose. The way an individual
carries himself while sitting, standing and walking. There are numerous concepts and views regarding human posture
and its significance. "The best posture is that in which the body segments are balanced in the position of least strain and
maximum support," according to Metheny. The general characteristics of a good posture are-erectness, balance,
alignment and ease. In good postural body alignment, the centre of gravity of all the segments such as head, neck and
trunk will fall as nearly in a straight vertical line which passes nearly through the centre of the feet.

weeks. Through warm-up matches, players can easily acclimatise with conditions of ground, opponents, environment
and others aspects. This type of training methods also help to increase the confidence level of an individual.
29. The physiological factors determining flexibility are as follows
i. Joint Structure The joint structure of a person determines the range of motions and hence level the flexibility of an
individual. For example, the ball and socket joint of the shoulder has the greatest range of motion in comparison to

the knee joint.
ii. Age and Gender The age of a person as well as the gender determines the level of flexibility. It can be enhanced
with the help of training as strength and endurance are enhanced. Flexibility decreases with advancement of age and
females are more flexible than males.
iii. Stretchability of Muscles If the muscles are regularly stretched, then they remain flexible. The stretchability of
muscles depends on the amount of exercises and physical activities.

35. Disability etiquettes is a set of guidelines dealing with specifically with how to approach persons with disabilities.
The general disability etiquettes are stated below:
a. Always put the person first i.e. say ’person with disability’ rather than ‘disabled person’.
b. In case of introduction to a person with a disability, it is appropriate to shake hands.
c. When you meet a person with visual impairment, always identify yourself and others who may be with you.
d. When talking with a person on a wheel chair or a person who use crutches, keep yourself at eyelevel in front of the
person to facilitate the talk.
e. To get attention of a person who is deaf or having hearing impairment, tap the person on the shoulder or wave your
hands.
f. Always introduce yourself to persons who are blind using your name.
g. Never patronize person who use wheel chairs by patting them on the head or shoulder.
36. Training following principles of sports training should be kept in mind.
i. Principle of continuity: This principle states that sports training should be a continuous and regular process.
Continuous and regular training leads to improvement of performance capacity. Interrupted training programs lead to
decline/decrease in performance capacity.
ii. Principle of progression of load: In sports training we want continuous improvement in performance, therefore we
have to increase the load from time to time or periodically. The training load should be gradually increased in order
to improve performance. Therefore load should be increased in ‘steps’.
iii. Principle of uniformity and differentiation (individual load): In order to achieve best results, the sports training
should be formulated uniformly but allowing for individual differences. To start with, the training should be uniform
in order to spot talent. With the passage of time however, training should increasingly individualized. Training
programmes need to be formulated keeping in mind individual characteristics like age, sex, talent, temperament,
intelligence, training state, load tolerance and possibility to recover etc.
iv. Principle of general and specific preparation: General preparation is done in order to create a base over which special
preparation can be done to enhance performance. After general development we should gradually increase
specialized training procedure. High proportion of general preparation in the initial years of training ensure all-round
development thus creating a base for futures performance.

v. Principle of planned and systematic training: To reach for the best results each and every phase or stage of training
must be planned. We have short and long term plans to achieve high performances through sports training. It is
essential to realize that planning has to be done on the basis of a system. Training system means the goal oriented
arrangement of all training elements, parts and processes which include training structure, goal, motor development
etc.
vi. The principle of active participation: The principle of active participation means that for good results of sports
training programme, trainee must be actively involved in this process. The trainee should fully understand the aim
and objectives of his/her training programme. He should actively follow the coach’s directives.
vii. Principle of cyclicity (periodisation): Sports training programmes are developed through a series of training periods
or cycle. It is formulated in longer and shorter duration.
Usually there are three training cycles-

Copyright © myCBSEguide.com. Mass distribution in any mode is strictly prohibited.

11 / 12
myCBSEguide
a. Macro Cycle: This is considered as the longest cycle of training. Its duration is from 3 months to 12 months. This
aims for the achievement of top form in a particular competiton and increases of performance capacity to higher
level.
b. Meso Cycle: This is a training cycle of medium duration. The duration of this cycle is 3 to 6 weeks. A Meso
cycle aims at tackling of definite training tasks as part of the total process of development of performance
capacity or perfection of technical skill or improvement of motor ability.
c. Micro Cycle: The duration of this cycle is 3 to 10 days and thus is considered as the training cycle of shortest
duration.
37. Psychology: The word Psychology is originated from Greek. Psyche mean soul and logus means to study science.
Earlier, psychology is part of philosophy. John B Watson and his colleagues define psychology as the study of behavior
but earlier it was considered the study of mind, consciousness, and soul.
Sports Psychology: Sport psychology is the branch of psychology that deals with the behavior of sportspersons.
Goal Setting: According to Pablo Picasso, "Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must
fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success."
In the whole process of goal setting, a player can divide these goals into three categories:
i. Outcome goals: Related to specific results in competition.
ii. Performance goals: Helping an athlete make improvements over a period of time.
iii. Process goals: Refers to a process in which a competitor concentrates on carrying out a specific skill.

Importance of Goal Setting in Sports:

i. It can help them focus on what is important and essential in sports performance.
ii. Correct goal directs them and give a sense of control and positive self-direction.
iii. Goal setting can improve overall sports performance.
iv. It influence motivation when the goal setting based on time.
v. It helps athletes to reach their potential.

Mental Imagery: Mental imagery refers to the athletes who imagine themselves in an atmosphere and performs a
particular activity like sight, hearing, feeling, and smell before, during and after competition. The images should have the
athlete performing successfully and feeling performance. Imagery is also known as visualisation rehearsal. It means all
of your senses should be practiced or rehearses according to your sports in your mind.
Need and Importance of Mental imagery:
Mental imagery helps you get your best outcome from training.
To keep in top form when training is difficult to conduct.
Helpful in adaptation and acclimatisation in different playing conditions.
Recalling images related to past successful performance or upcoming goals give motivation.
Help in reducing negative thoughts before or during competitions.
