    Study Notes

    Fixtures

    • A fixture is an event or date of a sports match

    Byes

    • In a tournament, a bye is assigned to a team allowing them to skip a round
      • This happens when the number of teams is not a power of two (e.g. 11 teams)
    • Byes are given to teams through a random lottery system

    Seeding

    • Seeding places teams in a tournament in such a way that strong teams don't meet early on
      • This is done to increase the chance of strong teams advancing further in the competition
    • Example: 12 teams in a tournament would require 4 byes
      • For even numbers, byes are placed in the upper and lower halves of the tournament bracket
      • For odd numbers, byes are placed in upper and lower halves with more byes in the lower half

    Allotment of Byes in Fixtures

    • The first bye is given to the last team in the lower half of the tournament bracket
    • The second bye is given to the first team in the upper half
    • The third bye is given to the last team in the upper half
    • The fourth bye is given to the first team in the lower half
    • This pattern continues until all byes have been assigned

    Extramural Tournaments

    • Conducted between teams from different schools/colleges/institutions
    • Examples of extramural tournaments: Zonal, Inter-District, State, National or International

    Objectives of Extramural Tournaments

    • Achieve high performance at a high level
    • Develop a sense of integration with other institutions
    • Provide opportunities for a career in sports
    • Promote social, cultural, and economic development through sports

    Significance of Extramural Tournaments

    • Progression in performance
    • Psychological benefits like increased confidence and stress management
    • Improved fitness levels
    • Socialization and cultural exchange

    Postural Deformities

    • Can be caused by heredity, disease, injury, poor habits, improper clothing, unhygienic living conditions, improper diet, lack of exercise, obesity, socio-economic status, etc.

    Knock Knees (Genu Valgum)

    • Knee misalignment turning knees inward
    • Common in early childhood, but usually corrects itself by age 7-8
    • Can be caused by injury, infection, rickets, vitamin D deficiency, obesity, or arthritis
    • Can hinder performance in walking and running
    • May lead to stiff joints, knee pain, and walking with a limp

    Corrective Measures for Knock Knees

    • Exercise like horse-riding
    • Keeping a pillow between knees while standing
    • Yoga
    • Massage

    Round Shoulders

    • Shoulders are bent forward from the ideal alignment, giving a narrow curve to the upper back
    • Can lead to hyperkyphosis (hunch back) and forward head posture
    • Can occur due to poor posture habits, heredity, muscle imbalance, tight clothing, injury, and disease
    • Can lead to chronic neck pain, thoracic outlet syndrome, and lack of shoulder mobility

    Corrective Measures for Round Shoulders

    • Strengthening and stretching muscles
    • Doing chest stretches, T stretch, wall stretch, handclasp stretch, planks, pull-ups, reverse shoulder stretch
    • Practicing maintaining a straight spine
    • Yoga asanas like Chakrasana and Dhanurasana

    Kyphosis (Hunch Back)

    • Exaggerated, forward rounding of the back
    • Can be caused by heredity, aging, disease (arthritis, osteoporosis), malnutrition, pulling heavy weight, unstable furniture, poor posture, muscle weakness
    • Found commonly in older women
    • Can be caused by spinal bone weakness, malformation of the spine, or wedging of spinal bones
    • Mild kyphosis causes little problems, however, severe kyphosis can cause pain and be disfiguring.
