Introduction to Sports

  • Sports are activities involving physical actions and skills, where individuals or teams compete under a set of rules.

Types of Sports

  • Creative sports: e.g., dance, aerobics, cheerleading, gymnastics.
  • Adventure sports: e.g., rock climbing, canoeing.
  • Combat sports: e.g., judo, boxing, karate, taekwondo.

  • Focus, understanding of the game & good work ethic are vital for mastering any sport.

Preparatory Skills for Sport

  • Movement skills are involved in all sports, e.g., hitting a baseball, walking, throwing, and running.
  • These skills involve various body parts (legs, arms, torso, head).

  • Examples: dribbling/passing/shooting in basketball, reception/attacking/setting in volleyball.

Tactical Skills

  • Decision-making skills or strategies used in game situations.
  • Can vary depending on athlete/coach or opposing team strength/weakness.
  • Example: quick passes and movements to counter a taller/slower opponent in basketball.

Training Planning

  • Preparation/Planning: date/time/duration of training, objectives, equipment.
  • Training Proper: warm-up/stretching, teaching new/practicing skills, scrimmage/practice game, cool-down/assessment.

Fitness in Sports

  • Health-Related Fitness: cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength/endurance, flexibility, and body composition.
  • Skill-Related Fitness (sometimes called motor fitness): agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction time, and speed.

FITT Principle for Sports Activity

  • Frequency: number of sessions per week.
  • Intensity: difficulty level of exercise.
  • Time: duration of session.
  • Type: mode of exercise.
  • Skill-related fitness components are generally useful in sports.

Safety in Sports
