Unlike strategy, which is broader and long-term, tactics focus on immediate decisions and responses to the dynamics of the game. - Explain the importance of physical fitness in sports.
Ans: Physical fitness is crucial in sports as it enhances an athlete’s performance, endurance, strength, and agility. Good fitness levels reduce the risk of injuries, improve recovery times, and allow athletes to train more effectively, ultimately contributing to better overall performance in competitions. - What are the common barriers to regular exercise?

Other factors may include physical injuries, access to facilities, and personal commitments that can hinder an individual’s ability to maintain a consistent exercise routine. - Difference between Skill and Technique
Ans:
| Aspect | Skill | Technique |
|---|---|---|
| Definition | Ability to perform specific physical tasks effectively and efficiently. | Method of performing a fundamental skill using a coordinated sequence of movements. |
| Nature | Sport-specific and involves automated motor actions. | Focuses on the mechanical model and execution of movements. |
| Execution | Involves the application of techniques in actual performance. | Involves well-timed and coordinated muscle actions to optimize performance and minimize injury risk. |
Long Answer Type Questions
- Explain the Technique with a suitable example.
Ans:- Technique refers to the specific method or skill used to perform a task in sports or physical activities. It involves the precise execution of movements to achieve optimal performance.
- An example of technique can be seen in the sport of swimming. The freestyle stroke requires a specific technique involving body position, arm movement, and breathing.
- Proper technique in freestyle includes keeping the body streamlined, using a flutter kick, and rotating the body to breathe efficiently without disrupting the stroke.
- Mastering technique is crucial as it not only improves performance but also reduces the risk of injury by ensuring that movements are performed correctly.
- Athletes often spend years refining their technique through practice, coaching, and feedback to enhance their overall effectiveness in competition.
- What do you mean by strategy in sports?
Ans:- Strategy in sports refers to a comprehensive plan designed to achieve specific goals during a competition or season. It involves analyzing both the strengths and weaknesses of the team and the opponent.
- A good strategy considers various factors such as player skills, opponent tactics, and environmental conditions, allowing teams to adapt their approach accordingly.
- For example, in basketball, a team may employ a strategy of focusing on three-point shooting if they have skilled shooters, or they may decide to play a defensive game if their opponents are strong in offense.
- Strategies can evolve throughout a game or season, requiring coaches and players to be flexible and responsive to changing circumstances.
- Ultimately, a well-defined strategy can significantly enhance a team’s chances of success by providing a clear direction and framework for decision-making during competition.
- Elucidate Tactics in brief.
Ans:- Tactics refer to the specific actions or maneuvers employed by a team or athlete to achieve their strategic goals during a game or match.
- Unlike strategy, which is a broader plan, tactics are focused on the immediate execution of plays or movements that can change the course of a game.
- For instance, in soccer, a team may use tactics such as pressing high up the pitch to regain possession quickly or employing a counter-attacking style to exploit the opponent’s weaknesses.
- Effective tactics require a deep understanding of the opponent’s behavior, player capabilities, and the dynamics of the game, allowing for quick adjustments as situations arise.
- Successful implementation of tactics can lead to critical advantages in performance, often determining the outcome of a match or competition based on real-time decisions and actions.
