Milkha Singh was born in 1929 in Gobindpura village in the Muzaffargarh district of Pakistan. He spent most of his childhood in poverty. Singh lost his 14 siblings to poverty, poor health and lack of medical attention. During the 1947 partition, he became an orphan and moved to India. He earned his living by working in a roadside restaurant before joining the army in 1951. During his military training, he realised his sprinting abilities. Hawaldar Gurudev Singh persuaded him to run a cross-country race as a part of military training. He practiced hard and came to the limelight during the National Games at Patiala in 1956. He broke the 200m and 400m records in the National Games at Cuttack in 1958. From running three miles ranging from running the first mile slowly and then increasing pace each mile before his training in the off season schedule, Singh would run three 400m races followed by one slow-paced 200m race followed by three 400m races fast followed by another 200m race slowly in the morning. During the season schedule, 10 sprints of 150m on Mondays, six 200m sprints on Tuesdays, four 300m sprints on Wednesdays, two 500m sprints once on Saturdays followed by complete rest on Sunday.
He is the only athlete to win a gold medal in the 400 meters race at the Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games. Milkha Singh set a National Record in the 1960 Olympics by winning fourth place in the 400m race in 45.73 seconds. This record remained for almost 40 years. In his sports career, Padma Shree Milkha Singh achieved many medals, including the gold medal in 200 meters in the 1958 Asian Games, 400 meters in the 1958 Asian Games, 440 yards in the 1958 Asian Games, 400 meters in the 1962 Asian Games, the 4x400-meter relay in the 1962 Asian Games, and silver in 400 meters in the 1964 Calcutta National Games. Apart from these achievements, in 1960, he was persuaded by then Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru to run against Abdul Khaliq in Pakistan, whom he defeated. He then re- ceived the title of ”The Flying Sikh” by General Ayub.

Read the passage carefully and answer the question as per the content:
Man is a social animal and always social by nature. This social nature has a great impact on physical activities. Sports and physical activities can also be considered as cultural heritage of mankind. Understanding the many factors that influence physical activity may help im- prove the effectiveness of physical activity intervention programmes. Research suggests that the effectiveness of programs should be maximized when participant’s confidence about their ability to continue physical activities is nurtured. They enjoy the activities they have chosen, receive encouragement and assistance from the other people in their lives, and reside in a supportive environment that provides convenient, attractive, and safe places for physical activity. A person becomes active on a regular basis by participation in physical activity, but some personality traits are inherited. No social influences on physical activity are strong for people of all ages, but the nature of the support varies with development level. Remarkably, social support for adults can come from friends, co-workers, or family members in the form of encouragement, participation in physical activities, and providing assistance, such as child care.
For adolescents, the influence of peers is of great importance. But development is possible only through the means of co-operation, competition, and enthusiasm. Within the competitive structure of many physical activities and sports experiences, there are countless opportunities for teaching important social values. For example-winning, losing, success, failure, rejection, anxiety, fair play, acceptance, friendship, cooperation, etc.

Women’s sports, both amateur and professional, have existed throughout the world for centuries in all varieties of sports. There is a rich record of sports participation of women in India. In the days of Mahabharata, Shakuntala, Madhuri, Kunti all chose physical activties as recreation. As time passed, Indian women were deprived of participation in sports for a number of reasons, despite having the potential and talent. They were put on the back seat, and were not allowed to participate in sports. However, female participation and popularity in sports increased dramatically in the last quarter of the 20th century, reflecting changes that emphasize gender parity. Although the level of participation and performance can still be improved, women’s participation in sports is generally accepted and promoted today. Although women have shown a dramatic rise in sports participation, there is still a large disparity in participation rates between women and men. These disparities continue to hinder equality in sports. Many institutions and programs still remain conservative and do not contribute to gender equity in sports. Some research in the physical domain lists constraints like heavy limbs, pear-shaped body structure and postural deformities like flat foot, knock knees etc., and physiological constraints including low level of RBCs, smaller heart and lung, high fat percentage, menstrual disorders, etc. as reasons for women’s non-participation in sports. There are certain psychological constraints like low self-confidence and self-esteem, higher level of stress and anxiety and social causes like lack of support or positive reinforcement from the family and the male dominated social structure that affect women’s participation in sports. Religious and economic factors also play a negative role that affect women’s participation in sports.

In the beginning of the annual academic planning for the school, a physical education committee meeting was held which included the school principal, teachers and students, almuni and parents. The agenda of the discussion was to plan for a comprehensive program for physical education and sports for all age groups and prepare a schedule of events along with recommendations for various sub-committees to conduct sports events. The team released the schedule of the events to be conducted in the current academic year. As per the interest and capabilities of students and teachers, various sub-committees were recommended. The sub-committee consisting of house-teachers and students provided feedback about concerns regarding draws and fixtures in intramural school tournament where the best teams competed against each other in the initial round itself. The students also felt that sometimes the teams were not cohesive and did not display sportsman-like behaviour on or off the field. They felt such situations were unseemly and could be avoided through a systematic process. There was also a need to increase the coordination among the committees with more defined roles and responsibilities of each member. To provide exposure to the potential atheletes and for talent development, a proposal was put forward for hosting a state-level inter-school competition at the school. To this end, the committees would need human resources, technical support and financial assistance. A new feature to the annual physical education programme, was the conducting of a mass run for crowd funding.

Calculate and determine number of byes if 19 teams are participating in a knock-out tournament ?

Read the below given passage carefully and answer question from strictly as per the content of the paragraph:
During 1896 Modern Olympic Games, Physical Education was given a new shape. The "Age" of games training started around 1850 AD. The time 1859 to 1900 AD was known as display trick- art period, because during this period there were no Physical Education teachers or games coaches. The profession of games coaching started around the year 1920, when professional coaches and Physical Education teachers entered the field of games. During this period, self experience of the players and instructors/coach was used to be the main guiding line. Scientific and organised games training period started from the year 1940 AD, and up to the year 1960 AD, Games training methods, patterns policies and systems got indirect changes and refineness. It was during this period that physical education was established as a profession and got assistance from scientific methods and Principles of Physical Education were established. Today, Physical Education is a respected subject and profession, because it has passed through successfully, all those tests which are required by any subject for getting recognition as a professional subject.

Read the below given passage carefully and answer question from strictly as per the content of the paragraph:
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is a displacement of the femoral head from the femoral neck because of a weakness in the epiphyseal plate. The approximate age range this condition occurs is ages 13 to 16 in boys and ages 11 to 14 in girls (Loder et al., 1993). It is seen in youths who have predisposing factors such as a recent growth spurt, an imbalance of sex hormones and growth hormones, and who are overweight or have a lanky build. The patient reports an insidious, gradual onset of pain in the groin that can refer to the thigh and knee in chronic slips. Less often, the patient experiences an acute slipped capital femoral epiphysis that presents with a sudden onset of pain and disability following a traumatic event. Pain produces an antalgic gait. Examination reveals restriction of hip medial rotation, abduction, and flexion, with the greatest restriction in medial rotation. During active hip flexion, the hip also moves into lateral rotation. In a relaxed position, the leg is in greater lateral rotation than the contralateral limb. Hip abductors are weak. Possible differential diagnoses with groin, anterior thigh, and knee pain must be investigated. Other possible diagnoses are fracture, tumor, hernias, strains, and contusions. An evaluation of the patient's history, hip motion, motion patterns, pain level, and strength helps the clinician determine other possible sources of the patient's pain. Treatment includes open reduction and internal fixation followed by partial weight bearing for two to six weeks. Isometric exercises immediately postoperatively, followed by open kinetic chain exercises, are used early in the rehabilitation process. Aquatic exercises after the surgical incision has healed and the patient is still partial weight bearing are used to achieve range-of- motion and strength gains. Once full weight bearing is permitted, the patient continues to use the crutches until normal gait and hip control are evident. Stork standing and other proprioception exercises progress as tolerated when unilateral weight-bearing activities are permissible. The therapeutic exercise progression follows that for other fractures once the patient is full weight bearing.
