more.
20. The avenues open in health related careers are fitness trainer, aerobics trainer, yoga
instructor, weight training expert, physical training instructor etc.
21. Biomechanics is the study of the movement of living things using the science of
mechanics. It is the branch of kinesiology which deals with the precise information of
human movements with scientific method.
22. Vertical axis: The vertical axis passes vertically from inferior to superior. It passes straight
through the top of the head down between feet. It is formed by the intersection of sagittal
and frontal plane. It is also known as longitudinal axis. It is the longest axis.

Body Weight (kg)
Body Mass Index (BMI) =
Height × Height (m) 2

Thus, in this case, BMI = 57

(1.74×1.74)
= 24.4
the formula for WHR is
Waist Circumference
Waist Hips Ratio (WHR) = ( )
Hip Circumference

Thus, in this case, WHR = 180

190
= 0.95

WHR between 0.85 and 1.0, the health risk is low.
26. Projectile: an object thrown into the space either horizontally or at acute angle under the
action of gravity is called a projectile. In the field of games and sport there are many
examples of projectiles such as putting the shot, throwing a hammer, discus and javelin in

1. Angle of Projection

human muscoskeletal system are mainly rotational and take place about a line
perpendicular to the plane in which they occur. This line is known as axis of rotation.
There are following types of axes of rotation:
1. Sagittal axis: The sagittal axis passes horizontally from posterior to anterior. It is
formed by the intersection of the sagittal and transverse plane. Sagittal axis passes from
front to back.
 2. Frontal axis: The frontal axis passes horizontally from left to right. It is formed by the
intersection of frontal and horizontal plane. Frontal axis passes from side to side.
3. Vertical axis: The vertical axis passes vertically from inferior to superior. It passes
straight through the top of the head down between feet. It is formed by the intersection
of sagittal and frontal it is also known as longitudinal axis. It is the longest axis.

36. Concept of Adaptive Physical Education:
Adaptive Physical Education (APE) is a specialized educational approach designed to
cater to the diverse needs of students, particularly those with disabilities or differing
abilities, within the framework of physical education. It is a crucial facet of inclusive
education, aiming to provide equal opportunities for all students to participate in physical
activities, promoting their physical, social, and emotional development.
Principles of Adaptive Physical Education:
For the implementation of Adaptive Physical Education programme, following principles
need to be kept in mind:
 i. Medical Check-up: The success of the Adaptive Physical Education programme
largely depends upon the medical check-up of the students. Without medical
examination, we cannot know the type of disability and percentage of disability of the
student which he is facing. So, a complete medical examination must be done.
ii. Interest of the students must be taken into consideration: The programes of
Adaptive Physical Education must be based on the interests, abilities, previous
experience, capacity and limitations of the students. The teachers or programme
planners must have a deep knowledge about limitations, interests, aptitudes, etc., of the
students. After that, they may prepare the programe and provide the programe.
iii. Rules and Regulations should be improvised: The rules and regulations should be
simple and modified from time to time according to the requirement of the disabled
special students. There should be modification done in such a way that the special
students take extra interest and more students take part in the activity.
37. Due to the sudden and rapid biological, psychological and behavioural changes taking
place in the body, an adolescent suffers through many problems.
The only source of comfort during these times for them are their peer with whom they
might develop bad habits.
The problems of adolescents are described below
i. Aggression and Uncontrollable Emotions Adolescents are very emotional and hyper.
They go through sudden change of mood and outbursts almost every day. One aspect of
this suddenness of change include the thoughts of suicide, self-hate, anxiety and
depression that they may face.
Adolescents also display aggressive behaviour They overreact to minor situations and
are rebellious towards criticism. This may get them into bad anti-social habits and also
may land them into problems that may affect their future.
ii. Social Standing Adolescents are very conscious of their social status and their personal
identity. They want to make their own respectable place in the society while fitting into
it.
To fit perfectly, they come under peer pressure which sometimes leads them into wrong
means of obtaining luxurious things.
They feel themselves to be important and demand the same respect from others. They
sometimes become overconfident and try to hide their mistakes. They put their blame
on others and protect themselves.
iii. Problems Related to Sex In contrast to the previous stages, adolescents now are more
attracted to the opposite sex. Their urges related to this attraction is so strong that they
become restless and may take wrong means to attain them.
iv. Drug Addiction The imbalance and instability that the adolescents face lead them
towards developing bad habits. In addition, the curiosity, lack of knowledge and peer
pressure leads them towards the drugs and alcohol.
This experimentation can turn into addiction which can spoil the entire future of the
teenager.
v. Criminal Activities The desire to be accepted by the peers and the restlessness as a
result of changes occurring in their lives, makes them more inclined to participate in
criminal activities.
Adolescents indulge in criminal offences like thefts, stealing, violence, molestation, etc.
