Question 1:
1. Which factors influence the modern era of sport?
• Secularism: sport is far less linked to religious beliefs and religious rituals than
it was in earlier times. Material values play a more important role.
• Equality for all: Now there is a need for all to take part in sport. Men and
women and people of all classes have equal opportunities to participate.
• Specialisation: Increasingly specialised sporting equipment and training
methods are being introduced. Athletes start to specialise at a very early age.
• Qualifications: Measurements and statistics are common aspects related to
modern sport. All events are recorded according to time, distance and score.
• Records: Considerable emphasis is placed on setting up and breaking
records. The overemphasis on winning has caused many athletes to stop
participating at an early age.
Question 2:
2. Changes in body proportions affect how skills are performed. Explain why this
is so.
• The long arms and legs at the beginning of puberty enables children to run
better.
• The relative size of the head in early childhood influences the balance of the
body during movement.
• The additional weight that girls gain during puberty, and their change in body
posture influences the speed at which they can move. Changing from a
shorter distance to a longer distance is often advisable, because girls run
more slowly.
• Rapid growth leads to clumsiness
• The relative shortness of legs in very young children often limits their running
ability
Question 3:
3. Why is knowledge regarding the structure and functioning of the body so
important to the physical education teacher and coach?
• Insight into how the body works
• To report any defects, you can detect in growth and posture.
• All physical activity programmes should provide a balanced development of
muscle and its opposing muscle. An unequal development leads to injury of
the weaker muscle.
• This knowledge will enable the coach to know how the athlete or child
responds to exercise and training.
• It enables the coach to know which exercises are relevant for the child.
