CBSE Class 11 Physical Education Question Paper Set 10 with Solutions

Answer: (c) Adolescence. It is the stage between childhood and adulthood, roughly 12 to 19 years, marked by rapid physical, emotional and social change.

Teacher's Note:
1. Adolescence begins with puberty and ends when the person becomes physically and emotionally mature.
2. Do not confuse it with later childhood, which comes just before puberty.

Answer: (d) All round development. Physical education aims at developing the whole person: physical, mental, social and emotional.

Teacher's Note:
1. Physical education is education through the physical, not only of the physical.
2. When all the other options are parts of one broad aim, the broad aim is usually the answer.

Answer: (d) All of the above. Sports journalism, sports book writing and sports broadcasting are all media-related career options in physical education and sports.

Teacher's Note:
1. Careers in physical education include teaching, coaching, sports medicine, sports management and sports media.
2. Read every option before choosing, because an 'all of the above' choice is easy to miss.

Answer: (a) Sir Dorabji Tata. He was the first President of the IOA, formed in 1927, and he also led the Indian team to the 1924 Paris Olympics.

Teacher's Note:
1. Remember the pair: Sir Dorabji Tata with the IOA, and Pierre de Coubertin with the modern Olympics.
2. Note that the IOC is the international body, while the IOA is the Indian body.

Answer: (c) Pierre de Coubertin. This French educationist revived the Olympic Games, and the first modern Games were held in Athens in 1896.

Teacher's Note:
1. He also founded the International Olympic Committee in 1894.
2. Do not confuse him with Jacques Rogge, a later IOC President.

Answer: (d) Tokyo. The Tokyo Olympics were postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic and held in 2021, though they kept the name Tokyo 2020.

Teacher's Note:
1. Learn the recent host cities in order: Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020 (held 2021), Paris 2024.
2. Dates and host cities are common one-mark questions, so revise them together.

Answer: (d) Zeus. The Ancient Games were held at Olympia in Greece in honour of Zeus, the king of the Greek gods.

Teacher's Note:
1. The Games were part of a religious festival at Olympia.
2. Poseidon was the god of the sea, so do not choose him by mistake.

Answer: (c) Five. The five interlocked rings of blue, yellow, black, green and red stand for the five continents joined by Olympism.

Teacher's Note:
1. The rings are interlaced to show the unity of the continents and the meeting of athletes from all over the world.
2. The flag also has a white background, and the colours together represent the flags of all nations.

Answer: (b) Switzerland. The IOC is headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Teacher's Note:
1. Lausanne is also called the Olympic Capital.
2. Be careful: Paris and France are not the answer even though the modern Games were revived by a Frenchman.

Answer: 1. Growth is the increase in size, height, weight and other measurable physical parts of the body. It is quantitative, can be measured, and stops after maturity.
2. Development is the overall progressive change in the person, covering physical, mental, social and emotional aspects. It is qualitative, cannot always be measured exactly, and continues throughout life.

Teacher's Note:
1. Growth means getting bigger, while development means functioning better in every way.
2. Always give at least two clear points of contrast, such as quantitative against qualitative and stops against continues.

Answer: 1. The Olympic motto is Citius, Altius, Fortius, a Latin phrase meaning Faster, Higher, Stronger. It was proposed by Pierre de Coubertin and the IOC adopted it in 1894 (first used at the 1924 Games).
2. It encourages athletes to give their best performance and to improve themselves. In 2021 the IOC added the word Together (Faster, Higher, Stronger, Together) to stress solidarity.

Teacher's Note:
1. Write the motto in Latin and also give its English meaning.
2. Mention the motto's message of self-improvement rather than only winning.

Answer: 1. The word yoga comes from the Sanskrit root yuj, meaning to join or unite. Yoga is the union of the individual self (jivatma) with the universal self (paramatma).
2. It is a discipline of asanas, pranayama, cleansing practices and meditation that develops the body, mind and spirit. Patanjali described it as the control of the fluctuations of the mind (chitta vritti nirodha).

Teacher's Note:
1. Start with the meaning of the word, then give the purpose of yoga.
2. Quoting Patanjali's definition gains credit when it is accurate.

Answer: 1. Disability is a long-term loss or limitation of a body function or structure, such as loss of a limb or vision, which restricts the person's ability to carry out normal activities. A disorder is a disturbance in the normal physical or mental functioning of the body, such as ADHD or a learning disorder.
2. A disability is usually permanent or long-lasting, whereas a disorder can often be treated, managed or corrected with therapy, medicine or training. A disability is often visible, while a disorder may not be visible.

Teacher's Note:
1. Think of disability as a lasting limitation and disorder as a disturbance of normal function.
2. Give an example for each term to make the difference clear.

Answer: 1. Sports psychology is the scientific study of the behaviour, thoughts and feelings of people in sport and exercise settings. It applies psychological principles to improve performance and wellbeing.
2. It deals with factors such as motivation, anxiety, concentration, confidence, team cohesion and stress management, which help athletes to perform better and enjoy the game.

Teacher's Note:
1. Define it as psychology applied to sport and exercise, then list a few areas it covers.
2. Mention both performance and wellbeing of the athlete.

Answer: 1. Sports training is a systematic, planned and long-term process of preparing an athlete to reach a high level of performance. It uses scientific principles and regular practice.
2. It aims to improve the athlete's physical fitness (strength, speed, endurance, flexibility, coordination), technique, tactics and mental strength.
3. It involves a gradual increase of training load, with proper rest and recovery, and is guided by a coach. Its main aim is to prepare the athlete for competition and win it.

Teacher's Note:
1. Training is a planned process, so use words such as systematic, scientific and progressive.
2. Do not confuse sports training with simple exercise, which has no specific performance target.

Answer: 1. Test is a tool or procedure used to collect information about a person's ability, skill or knowledge, for example a 50 m dash test.
2. Measurement is the process of collecting numerical data using a test, for example recording the time as 8.2 seconds. It tells us 'how much'.
3. Evaluation is the process of judging the measured data against a standard to decide its worth, for example deciding whether 8.2 seconds is good for the age group. It tells us 'how good'.

Teacher's Note:
1. Remember the order: the test collects, the measurement records, and the evaluation judges.
2. Give a small example for each term to earn full marks.

Answer: 1. It helps to find the current level of fitness, skill and ability of students.
2. It helps to select students for teams and to group them according to ability.
3. It motivates students when they see their progress, and it helps to set goals.
4. It helps teachers to judge how effective their teaching and training programmes are and to improve them.
5. It helps to diagnose weaknesses and to guide students toward suitable activities.
6. It helps to predict future performance and gives a record of progress over time.

Teacher's Note:
1. Think about who gains: the student, the teacher and the programme.
2. Writing at least five distinct points is safest for a three-mark list.

Answer: Wellness is a state of balanced health in all areas of life. Its main components are:
1. Physical wellness: keeping the body fit through exercise, a balanced diet and enough sleep.
2. Mental (intellectual) wellness: keeping the mind active and learning new things.
3. Emotional wellness: understanding and managing one's feelings and stress.
4. Social wellness: building healthy relationships with family, friends and society.
5. Spiritual wellness: finding purpose, values and inner peace in life.
6. Environmental and occupational wellness: living in a clean, safe surrounding and finding satisfaction in one's work.

Teacher's Note:
1. Give each component a name and a one-line meaning with an example.
2. Wellness is more than the absence of disease, so cover mind, society and spirit as well as the body.

Answer: The components of physical fitness are:
1. Strength: the ability to overcome resistance.
2. Endurance: the ability to continue an activity for a long time without tiring.
3. Speed: the ability to perform movements in the shortest time.
4. Flexibility: the range of movement at a joint.
5. Coordinative abilities: such as balance, agility, reaction and rhythm.
For a weight lifter, strength is the most important component because lifting a heavy load needs maximum force from the muscles.

Teacher's Note:
1. Name each component and add a few words on what it means.
2. Always link the final part to the sport, since a weight lifter needs maximum strength above all.

Answer: Problems of adolescence:
1. Physical changes and body image concerns.
2. Emotional instability and mood swings.
3. Identity crisis and confusion.
4. Peer pressure.
5. Behavioural problems such as aggression and rebellion.
6. Substance abuse (smoking, alcohol, drugs) and risky behaviour.
7. Stress about studies, career and examinations.
Two problems in detail:
1. Emotional instability: due to hormonal changes, adolescents may feel happy, sad or angry within a short time. They find it difficult to control their feelings, which affects studies and relationships.
2. Peer pressure: the need to be accepted by friends may lead adolescents to follow the group even when it is wrong, for example trying cigarettes or skipping classes, which can harm their health and character.

Teacher's Note:
1. First list the problems briefly, then explain only two as asked.
2. Choose problems that you can explain with an example.

Answer: (a) 8 years. The IOC President is elected for an eight-year term, which may be renewed once for four years.

Teacher's Note:
1. The first term is eight years and the renewal is four years.
2. Keep these two numbers separate in your memory.

Answer: (b) 4. The IOC Executive Board has four Vice Presidents, each elected for a term of four years.

Teacher's Note:
1. The Executive Board has the President, four Vice Presidents and ten other members.
2. The original option 'Both A and B' was changed because it could not be correct.

Answer: (a) Four years after the expiry of his/her term. After the full 8+4 years, a President can be re-elected only after a gap of four years (the Olympic Charter requires this gap).

Teacher's Note:
1. Read the four-year gap as a cooling-off period.
2. Do not choose 'never again', because the rule only restricts immediate re-election.

Answer: (c) Paris. The Games of the XXXIII Olympiad were held in Paris, France, in 2024.

Teacher's Note:
1. Paris also hosted in 1900 and 1924, so it became a three-time host.
2. Revise host cities in order: Rio, Tokyo, Paris, Los Angeles (2028).

Answer: (b) Physiotherapist. A physiotherapist is trained in anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, kinesiology and neuroscience to treat movement problems.

Teacher's Note:
1. The listed subjects relate to body structure, function and movement, which are the core of physiotherapy.
2. The original option 'All of these' was replaced because only one profession fits.

Answer: (d) Medical consultation and supervision. A physiotherapist helps assess children with special needs and supervises their physical treatment and exercise.

Teacher's Note:
1. A physiotherapist works on the medical and physical side, not teaching or speech training.
2. Match each professional with the area they handle.

Answer: (b) Design programmes and activities that promote balance, strength and coordination. This is a physiotherapist's role, while speech disorders belong to a speech therapist.

Teacher's Note:
1. Physiotherapists work on movement, strength and coordination.
2. Option (c) belongs to a speech therapist, which is a common trap.

Answer: (a) Anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, kinesiology and neuroscience. These are the sciences of body structure, function and movement.

Teacher's Note:
1. Psychology is not a core subject of a physiotherapist, which helps you rule out the other options.
2. Match the list word by word with the case in the question.

Answer: Aim: The aim of physical education is the all-round development of the individual, that is, the physical, mental, social and emotional development of a person through physical activity.
Objectives:
1. Physical development: to develop the organic systems (heart, lungs, muscles), fitness and healthy habits.
2. Motor development: to develop skills of movement, coordination, agility and balance.
3. Mental development: to improve concentration, decision making, alertness and knowledge of the rules and tactics of games.
4. Social development: to build cooperation, teamwork, leadership, discipline and respect for others.
5. Emotional development: to learn to control emotions, accept winning and losing, and handle stress.
6. Character development: to develop honesty, fair play, sportsmanship and self-confidence.
7. Education for leisure: to teach how to use free time in a useful and healthy way.

Teacher's Note:
1. Separate the one broad aim from the many objectives and give a heading to each objective.
2. Add a brief explanation of every objective, because a bare list earns fewer marks.

Answer: 1. Guidance and counselling: parents, teachers and counsellors should listen to adolescents with understanding and give proper advice.
2. Sex and health education: correct information about bodily changes removes fear and wrong ideas.
3. Participation in games, sports and yoga: physical activity releases extra energy and reduces stress, and teaches discipline and teamwork.
4. Healthy family environment: parents should build friendly communication, give love and trust, and avoid harsh punishment.
5. Positive peer influence: encourage friendship with good companions and teach how to say no to harmful pressure.
6. Awareness about substance abuse: programmes about the harm of tobacco, alcohol and drugs should be organised.
7. Balanced diet and proper rest: good nutrition and sleep support the body's rapid growth and emotional balance.
8. Role models and value education: teach good values and show positive role models.

Teacher's Note:
1. Link every problem of adolescence to a remedy involving the home, the school and physical activity.
2. Write full sentences for each way, as a one-word list does not explain the management.

Answer: 1. Special educator: teaches children with disabilities using adapted methods and materials, and prepares individual education plans.
2. Physical education teacher (adapted PE): designs and adapts games, activities and equipment so that every child can take part, and encourages inclusion.
3. Physiotherapist: works on movement, strength, balance and coordination, and supports children with physical problems through exercise therapy.
4. Occupational therapist: helps children to develop daily-living skills such as dressing, writing and eating, and fine motor skills.
5. Speech therapist: diagnoses and corrects speech, language and communication difficulties.
6. Counsellor / psychologist: supports the emotional and social needs of the child and the family, and helps with stress and behaviour.
7. Doctor / medical consultant: gives the medical diagnosis, treatment and advice about suitable activities.
Together they work as a team to help the child become independent and included.

Teacher's Note:
1. Name each professional and state exactly what he or she does for the child.
2. Finish by noting that these experts work as a team with the teacher and parents.

Answer: Principles of sports training: continuity, overload, progressive increase of load, specificity, individualisation, variety, adaptation, recovery (rest), and warming up / cooling down.
Four principles in detail:
1. Overload: the training load must be higher than what the body is used to, so that the body adapts and fitness improves. Too little load brings no improvement.
2. Progressive increase of load: the load should be raised step by step and gradually, never suddenly, to avoid injury and over-training.
3. Specificity: training should match the demands of the sport, for example sprinters train for speed and marathon runners for endurance.
4. Individualisation: every athlete differs in age, sex, fitness and ability, so the training programme should be designed for the individual.

Teacher's Note:
1. First write the full list, then pick four principles that you can explain with an example.
2. Overload followed by adequate rest is the key to improvement.
