CBQ 1Case StudyOrganising a School Sports Tournament4 marks

Read the passage

A school physical education teacher is organising an inter-house badminton tournament with 8 teams. She must decide between two tournament formats: (a) Knock-out (Elimination): each team plays until it loses once — the loser is eliminated immediately. (b) Round-Robin (League): each team plays against every other team — teams earn points and the one with the most points wins. For knock-out with 8 teams, matches = n − 1 = 7. For round-robin with 8 teams, matches = n(n−1)/2 = 28. The teacher must also prepare fixtures (match schedules) and allocate courts, time slots, and officials.

In a knock-out tournament with 16 teams, the total number of matches played is:

(A)16

(B)15

(D)120

The main advantage of a Round-Robin (League) tournament over a Knock-out tournament is:

(A)Requires fewer matches and less time

(B)Every team gets multiple chances to play — one loss does not eliminate a team, giving a fairer assessment of overall performance

(C)It is simpler to organise with fewer resources

(D)The winner is determined after just one round of matches

In a knock-out tournament with 8 teams, if a BYE is given to 1 team in the first round, it means:

(A)That team is automatically eliminated

(B)That team gets a free pass to the next round without playing, due to an odd number of teams

(C)The team is given an extra match

(D)BYE stands for the team playing both sides

What is 'planning' in the context of sports management? List any four components of planning for a sports event.

CBQ 2Assertion–Reason1 mark

Assertion

A league tournament (round-robin) gives a more accurate assessment of the best team than a knock-out tournament.

Reason

In a league tournament, every team plays against every other team multiple times, so a single bad performance does not eliminate a team — the final standings reflect consistent performance across all matches.

(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

(B) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

(D) A is false but R is true

CBQ 1Case StudyDiet Planning for an Athlete4 marks

Read the passage

Priya is a 17-year-old sprinter training for state-level competitions. Her coach recommends a balanced diet with emphasis on carbohydrates (60% of calories) for energy, protein (20%) for muscle repair, and healthy fats (20%) for endurance. Her daily caloric need is approximately 2800 kcal. Before a race, she eats a light carbohydrate-rich meal 2 hours earlier. After training, she consumes a protein-rich recovery snack within 30 minutes (the 'anabolic window'). She avoids performance-enhancing drugs (doping) as they are banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). She takes iron supplements because female athletes are prone to iron-deficiency anaemia, which reduces oxygen-carrying capacity.

Carbohydrates are emphasised in Priya's diet because they:

(A)Build muscles and repair tissues

(B)Are the primary and most readily available energy source for high-intensity activities like sprinting

(C)Provide insulation and protect organs

(D)Are the most concentrated source of energy per gram

Iron deficiency reduces athletic performance because iron is essential for:

(A)Bone density and strength

(B)Energy storage in muscles

(C)Haemoglobin production — iron carries oxygen in red blood cells to working muscles

(D)Joint lubrication and flexibility

The 'anabolic window' after training refers to:

(A)The rest period when muscles grow

(B)The 30–60 minute post-exercise period when muscle protein synthesis is highest — consuming protein now maximises muscle repair and growth

(C)The time before training when carbohydrates should be consumed

(D)The period when fat burning is maximised

What is doping in sports? Name any two banned substance categories and explain the health risks of using anabolic steroids.

CBQ 2Assertion–Reason1 mark

Assertion

Athletes require more protein than sedentary individuals.

Reason

Intense physical training causes micro-tears in muscle fibres; protein provides the amino acids needed to repair and rebuild these fibres, leading to muscle hypertrophy — a process that requires significantly more protein intake than the 0.8g/kg recommended for sedentary individuals.

(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

(B) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

(D) A is false but R is true

CBQ 1Case StudyYoga for Obesity Management4 marks

Read the passage

A 45-year-old office worker with obesity (BMI = 32) is recommended a yoga-based weight management programme by his doctor. The programme includes: (a) Tadasana and Katichakrasana for improving posture and core strength, (b) Pawanmuktasana for abdominal fat reduction and digestion improvement, (c) Vajrasana (practised after meals) for improving metabolism, (d) Hastasana and Trikonasana for stretching and lateral flexibility. The doctor also recommends Pranayama — specifically Kapalbhati (fast exhalations) to stimulate abdominal organs and increase metabolic rate. Along with yoga, the patient is advised to follow a calorie-controlled diet.

Vajrasana is unique among yoga postures because:

(A)It can only be practised in the morning

(B)It is the only posture recommended after eating meals as it aids digestion by increasing blood flow to the digestive organs

(C)It requires advanced flexibility and is for experts only

(D)It focuses exclusively on upper body strength

Kapalbhati pranayama helps in weight management by:

(A)Slowing metabolism to conserve energy

(B)Stimulating abdominal organs, improving metabolism, and burning calories through rapid diaphragmatic contractions

(C)Increasing fat storage for energy reserves

(D)Reducing hunger by suppressing the appetite centre in the brain only

BMI (Body Mass Index) of 32 is classified as:

(A)Normal weight (18.5–24.9)

(B)Overweight (25–29.9)

(C)Obese Class I (30–34.9)

(D)Underweight (below 18.5)

What is the role of yoga in managing hypertension (high blood pressure)? Name two asanas recommended for hypertension.

CBQ 2Assertion–Reason1 mark

Assertion

Regular practice of Anulom-Vilom pranayama is beneficial for asthma patients.

Reason

Anulom-Vilom involves alternate nostril breathing that strengthens the respiratory muscles, improves lung capacity and airflow, and trains the body to breathe more slowly and deeply — reducing the frequency and severity of asthmatic attacks by increasing respiratory efficiency.

(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

(B) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

(D) A is false but R is true

CBQ 1Case StudySports Injury Management during a Football Match4 marks

Read the passage

During a school football match, three players sustain injuries. Player A twists his ankle — the ligament is partially torn (sprain). Player B falls and scrapes his knee — the skin is broken (abrasion). Player C gets hit in the calf muscle and develops a painful cramp. The sports teacher responds: Player A is treated with RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation). Player B's wound is cleaned with antiseptic and bandaged. Player C's cramp is treated by stretching the calf muscle and providing fluids. The teacher also notices Player A's ankle is swelling, indicating internal bleeding into the joint space (haematoma).

A sprain involves injury to:

(A)Muscle fibres

(B)Ligaments — the fibrous tissue connecting bones to bones at joints

(C)Tendons — the tissue connecting muscles to bones

(D)Cartilage — the smooth tissue at bone ends

In the RICE protocol for Player A's ankle sprain, the 'C' (Compression) helps by:

(A)Increasing blood flow to speed healing

(B)Reducing swelling by applying gentle pressure with a bandage, limiting fluid accumulation in the injured area

(C)Immobilising the joint permanently

(D)Increasing the temperature of the injury site

Muscle cramp in sports is primarily caused by:

(A)Ligament tear

(B)Dehydration and electrolyte imbalance (especially sodium and potassium loss through sweat) causing involuntary muscle contractions

(C)Bone fracture from direct impact

(D)Tendon inflammation from overuse

Distinguish between a sprain and a strain. Give the first-aid treatment for each.

CBQ 2Assertion–Reason1 mark

Assertion

Warming up before exercise reduces the risk of sports injuries.

Reason

Warm-up activities gradually increase heart rate, blood flow to muscles, and muscle temperature — making muscle fibres more elastic and less likely to tear, while also improving joint lubrication and neuromuscular coordination.

(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

(B) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

(D) A is false but R is true

Biomechanics and Sports

CBQ 1Case StudyBiomechanics of a Javelin Throw4 marks

Read the passage

A coach analyses the biomechanics of a javelin throw to help athletes improve performance. Key factors: (a) Angle of release — optimal angle is approximately 45° for maximum range (in the absence of air resistance, the range formula is R = v²sin2θ/g). (b) Speed of release — higher initial velocity (v) increases range quadratically. (c) Height of release — taller athletes release from a greater height, slightly increasing range. (d) Rotation (angular momentum) — the spinning motion of the javelin about its axis gives it stability in flight. (e) Centre of gravity — if the athlete leans correctly, the body's centre of gravity moves in the direction of throw, transferring more energy.

According to Newton's Third Law, when a javelin thrower pushes back on the ground during the run-up, the ground:

(A)Absorbs the force and the thrower slows down

(B)Exerts an equal and opposite reaction force forward, propelling the thrower forward

(C)Exerts a greater force forward, amplifying the throw

(D)Exerts no force since the ground is stationary

At 45° release angle, the horizontal range of the javelin is maximum because:

(A)The vertical component of velocity is zero

(B)sin(2 × 45°) = sin(90°) = 1, which is the maximum value of the sine function, maximising the range formula R = v²sin2θ/g

(C)Air resistance is minimum at 45°

(D)The gravitational force is weakest at 45°

The concept of 'Centre of Gravity' in sports biomechanics refers to:

(A)The heaviest part of the athlete's body

(B)The point where the entire body weight is considered to act — stability is greater when this point is low and within the base of support

(C)The geometric centre of the playing field

(D)The point of maximum muscle force application

Explain the application of Newton's Laws of Motion in sports. Give one example for each law from a specific sport.

CBQ 2Assertion–Reason1 mark

Assertion

A wider base of support increases an athlete's stability.

Reason

Stability depends on the position of the centre of gravity relative to the base of support — a wider base creates a larger area within which the line of gravity (vertical line through the centre of gravity) can fall, making it harder to topple the athlete.

(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

(B) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

(D) A is false but R is true

CBQ 1Case StudyFitness Testing in a School Programme4 marks

Read the passage

A physical education teacher conducts annual fitness testing for Class 12 students using a standardised battery of tests. The tests include: (a) 50-metre Dash — measures speed (explosive power). (b) 600-metre Run/Walk — measures cardiovascular endurance (aerobic capacity). (c) Standing Broad Jump — measures leg power (explosive strength). (d) Sit-and-Reach Test — measures flexibility of hamstrings and lower back. (e) Partial Curl-Ups (1 minute) — measures abdominal muscular endurance. (f) Push-Ups — measures upper body muscular endurance. Results are recorded in a standardised format and compared to age-gender norms from the AAHPERD (American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance) or CBSE fitness norms.

The 600-metre Run/Walk test measures which component of physical fitness?

(A)Muscular strength

(B)Speed

(C)Cardiovascular endurance (aerobic capacity)

(D)Flexibility

The Sit-and-Reach test primarily measures:

(A)Abdominal strength

(B)Flexibility of the hamstrings and lower back

(C)Cardiovascular fitness

(D)Upper body muscular endurance

In fitness testing, 'reliability' of a test means:

(A)The test measures exactly what it is supposed to measure

(B)The test produces consistent results when repeated under the same conditions — the same student gets the same score on different days

(C)The test is easy to administer

(D)The test norms are based on international standards

Distinguish between 'measurement' and 'evaluation' in physical education. Why is evaluation important?

CBQ 2Assertion–Reason1 mark

Assertion

Validity is the most important property of a good fitness test.

Reason

A test that is reliable but not valid consistently measures the wrong thing — for example, a sit-and-reach test is valid for flexibility but not for strength, regardless of how consistently it produces the same result.

(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

(B) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A

(D) A is false but R is true
