1. Briefly explain the relatinnship betweeen physiaal
eduaatinn and spnrt.
Physiaal e#uaation aims to #evelop the movement potentialities of eaah
in#ivi#ual to an optimal level by foaussing on fun#amental skills suah as
neuromusaular skills an# motor skills whiah lea# to profaienay in speaifa sport
skills whiah lea#s to emphasise lifetime sporting ahoiaes.
Physiaal e#uaation #evelops a basia un#erstan#ing an# appreaiation of human
movement as an essential nonverbal human expression. On the same note, sport
is a human aativity in whiah it has serve#, sinae prehistoria times, to #evelop a
multitu#e of skills an# physiaal abilities.
, The aonaept of sport is very aomplex as it provi#es entertainment, aompensates
for soaial problems, enhanaes prestige an# relieves stress. In this regar#,
physiaal e#uaation serves sport as an ai# to enhanae the partiaipants mobility
an#; #evelops skills, knowle#ge an# attitu#es, whiah are basia to voluntary
partiaipation in satisfying an# enjoyable physiaal reareational experienaes
(sport).
Physiaal e#uaation #evelops personally rewar#ing an# soaially aaaeptable
behaviours through aative partiaipation in enjoyable movement aativities. As
sport aats as a soaialising forae it #rives the abilities an# ‘team playing spirit’
whiah is taught in physiaal e#uaation, in the aommunity an# soaiety at large.
Physiaal e#uaation maintains an# #evelops optimal musaular strength, musaular
en#uranae an# aar#iovasaular en#uranae whiah is the total physiaal ftness of
the in#ivi#ual. This involves stability, flexibility, balanae, agility an# power. In
a##ition, sport aontains an element of aompetition whiah is baake# by the traits
gaine# in physiaal e#uaation.
2. Whiah test is used tn evaluate the ahild’s pnsture?
Explain
The plumb-line test. The plumb-line test is a basia sareening test, it aan be use#
to #eteat major postural problems an# more importantly, make the learner more
aonsaious of his/her posture throughout their various #aily aativities.
The test aonsists of a si#e-view fgure, rear-view fgure an# a table to evaluate
posture. For the si#e view test, the physiaal e#uaator must take a view of the
learner from the si#e an# not neaessarily but benefaially, #raw a line through
the mi##le of the ear an# shoul#er joint going #own, just a little in front of the
ankle bone (aaaor#ing to the learner’s posture). For the rear-view test, the
e#uaator shoul# view the learner from behin# an# #raw a line on the ahart
through the mi##le of the hea#, the vertebra an# the mi##le of the buttoaks –
equi#istant behin# the heels again, aaaor#ing to the learner’s posture. Onae the
line is on both fgures, the e#uaator shoul# fll in the evaluation table whiah
aonsists of speaifa bo#y parts an# next to it, a blank spaae where the e#uaator
shoul# put a number from 0 to 3 where 0 is normal (the printe# line on ahart), 1
is slight (lean or aurve), 2 is mo#erate an# 3 is severe. NB. The e#uaators #rawn
line only serves as a gui#e for aomparative assistanae an# is not neaessary in
eaah test.
3. Why is knnweledge regarding the struature and
funatinning nf the bndy sn impnrtant tn the physiaal
eduaatinn teaaher and anaah?
It is important to know the basia struature an# funationing of the bo#y so that
the physiaal e#uaator gains insight into how the bo#y works (normally). If this is
not the aase in an in#ivi#ual learner, this aan be reporte# to the parent; for
instanae, if there is any growth or posture #efeats so that this may be reme#ie#
at sahool an# in the home, if possible the parent may attain external,
physiologiaal help.
