, 1. Which factors influence the modern era of sport?
• Secularism.
• Equality for all.
• Specialisation.
• Rationalisation and rules.
• Bureaucratisation.
2. Changes in body proportions affect how skills are performed.
Explain why this is so.
• The relative size of the head in childhood affects the balance of the body
during movement.
• The balance of the body is controlled by the head. If the head is relatively
large, it will be harder for the child to balance him-/herself and they may
even be a little off balance from time to time.
• The relatively short legs of the very young limit running ability.
• The child will give smaller steps and will therefore be slower.
• At the beginning of puberty, children’s long arms and legs help them to run
better. However, the rapid growth at this stage causes clumsiness and
coordination difficulties.
• The arms and legs may grow at different rates, and this will cause
clumsiness, as the child may have either longer arms or longer legs.
3. Why is knowledge regarding the structure and functioning of the
body so important to the physical education teacher and coach?
• It gives the physical education teacher and coach insight into how the body
works.
• It helps the physical education teacher and coach to know what types of
exercises to do in order to prevent injuries.
• It will help them to know how to treat injuries.
• The coach will know how the child/athlete responds to exercise and training.
• They will know what exercises are suitable for the child’s level of
development.
